Master in Business Management

Why study for your Master's degree in Business Management at Salzburg University of Applied Sciences?

The business world is becoming more complex. Uncertainty is growing, and changes and risks are shaping how day-to-day business is done. Future managers need to be able not only to look at these facts but also to be well prepared for them.

Our Master's degree in Business Management at Salzburg University of Applied Sciences is all about giving aspiring and established managers the right tools. Finding innovative solutions, managing crises, and opening up new business opportunities – the management concepts that you create will help you.

In addition, you will learn:

• Design and leadership skills
• Communication and social skills
• Strategies to address the growing complexity and uncertainty in the business environment
• Team-oriented working methods
• Innovation, abstraction, and integration skills
• Holistic and networked thinking

Our graduates have excellent job prospects and work as qualified specialists and managers in middle and upper management, both in the consumer goods, industrial and service sectors. The course provides you with the business foundation with which you can confidently master management challenges in times of “change and risk”. You act as a successful manager who not only reacts quickly to change processes, but also has the courage and skills to initiate changes and set new trends. This “always being one step ahead” is what makes companies successful.

What’s more: with courage and entrepreneurial thinking, you can initiate changes yourself – and thus set new trends in times of “change and risk”.

Course content and majors

Aside from the fixed curriculum, students can take on project responsibility in the “Opportunity Spaces” and “Development Spaces” modules. The “possibility spaces” (student studies) offer the ideal opportunity to develop innovative topics in a practice-oriented and research-based manner. In the “development rooms” (social skills), the focus is on discovering and developing personal skills.

Anything but run-of-the-mill: From the second semester onwards, you can design the focus of your business administration master's degree completely individually. The following four specializations are available to choose from:

• Corporate development
• Financial Risk Management
• Service & Sales Management
• Purchasing & Supply Chain Management

Scientific tasks at an international level? This is exactly what you will be dealing with in the course of your master's thesis.
