To compensate for significant differences in subject matter, supplementary examinations (maximum 30 ECTS credits) may be prescribed, which must be taken by the end of the second semester of the master's programme. The rectorate may determine which of these supplementary examinations are prerequisites for taking examinations provided for in the curriculum of the master's programme.

  • 92.5 ECTS-Credits Core Area: Economic subjects, therefrom at least 50 ECTS-Credits Core Area:  Business Subjects as well as knowledge of Marketing and Economic Methods
