Additionally, modules from other management disciplines (e.g. marketing, finance, and supply chain management) as well as more educational-related modules covering work force development or leadership training are also available. In addition to at least one main seminar, students work on concrete practical and scientific problems within business and/or research projects, both in groups and independently.
