A warm welcome from the Faculty of Management, Economics and Social Sciences at University of Cologne!
One of the unique trademarks of the program-structure is the wide range of options available for specialisation as well as generalisation. Individual study profiles can easily be realized around personal interests and ambitions. This master program consists of a major, a minor and the master thesis. While the major constitutes the thematic focus of the study course, the minor serves as an additional element of specialisation or diversification. There are no compulsory modules, neither in the major nor the minor; tailor-made study profiles may be created focusing on specific fields of interest or broadening perspectives and knowledge. With one of the largest faculties in Germany, the University´s curriculum offers a wide spectrum of disciplines in Management, Economics and Social Sciences for attaining individual qualifications.The WiSo-Faculty traditionally has a widespread, world-wide international network. It is the only German member in the student exchange program "Program in International Management" (PIM), a group of more than 50 leading international business schools.
Moreover the WiSo-Faculty represents the only German institution of higher education in the "Community of European Management Schools" (CEMS), a framework of 17 highly renowned European institutions of higher management education, as well as around 50 leading multinational companies, which cooperate in offering the CEMS Masters in International Management (CEMS MIM). In addition, several exchange programs on different levels exist with universities in the United States, Asia and in Western and Eastern Europe, not to mention the Erasmus programs. Additionally, two double-degree programs for participants of our master programs in Business Administration are available.
The masters are comprised of 120 ECTS credit points and are designed as full-time courses with a standard period of four semesters. The structure of the masters program in Economics is as follows:
Major: 72 credit points
Within the major 72 credit points have to be attained. It consists of three areas of studies:
-Theory and Methods
-Institutions and Markets
-Economic Policy and Public Finance
Minor: 24 credit points
One out of 29 available minors covering all disciplines of the WiSo-Faculty has to be chosen. The minor serves to further accentuate the study profile.
Master Thesis: 24 credit points
With a successfully completed master thesis students demonstrate their ability to deal autonomously with a problem, using scientific methods and taking into account a limited time-frame.
The topic of the master thesis should derive from the major. A different subject may be allowed upon request. Previously completed main seminars or projects may serve as a preparation for research-oriented tasks.
With regard to the attributed 24 ECTS credit points, a maximum of 720 hours of study should be allotted for working on a master thesis. It should not be longer than sixty pages.
