Curriculum
Description of the programme
You will research contemporary international and sustainable human resources management strategies and their influence on corporate success. Since the tasks of the human resources department are intertwined with corporate management, you also deal with how companies and organisations are actively developed. For example, you will learn to recognise, analyse and change power imbalances and inequalities in organisations.
By repeatedly linking theoretical knowledge with practical problems, you will acquire action-related skills that will prepare you optimally for your professional life and enable you to perform tasks in strategic and sustainable human resources and management and to approach and solve corporate governance issues in internationally oriented business environments in a responsible manner.
Graduates of this study programme work, among others, in the following sectors or business areas:
