programme

Description/content The programme prepares students for positions as HR specialists, HR professionals, or HR


executives in companies active in the international arena as well as positions in HR consulting firms
and HR service providers. This objective is supported by the programme's strong international and
strategic focus. In the public administration sector, the Master's degree is recognised as a
qualification allowing the holder to apply for posts in the senior civil service.
Courses are predominantly structured as interactive seminars and taught in English. The small
group size facilitates direct dialogue and close contact between the students and the academic
staff, enabling intensive work on case studies and fruitful and wide-ranging discussions.
