Curriculum

Programme Structure

The General Management track of the MSc in Business Administration is a 16 month, 90 ECTS programme, which consists of the following elements:

• 60 ECTS towards the degree
• 30 ECTS as foundation, which prepares students with bachelor qualifications in non-business subjects for master level business courses. The foundation is woven into the curriculum and usually appears as the first part of the course. No exemptions from it are possible.

During an intensive and exciting first year, you will receive in-depth knowledge about the subjects central to business administration. At the same time, you will apply and use the newly acquired knowledge to ensure relevancy. The challenge of working in culturally diverse teams will help you to develop the social and business skills needed to thrive in today’s global environment.

Over the last four months of the course, participants will work on their own thesis and, under the guidance of RSM’s experienced faculty members, hone their academic skills. Simultaneously expert career support and advice will provide students with everything they need to launch their careers successfully.

Coursework is graded through the internationally recognised European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). One ECTS point is equivalent to 28 study hours and includes lectures, reading, exams, and the writing of papers and business cases.
