This program is taught entirely in English, attracting an international student body. Over four semesters, students earn 120 ECTS credits and the title “Master of Science,” equipping them for challenging professional environments. At the KU, students benefit from a favorable staff-to-student ratio and enjoy a high quality of life, with the region recently ranked 4th in Germany by Wirtschaftswoche magazine. The curriculum includes subjects that bridge both disciplines, ensuring a comprehensive education. This approach prepares graduates to navigate and lead in today's multifaceted business landscape.
