Management and Economics
Content and Structure
Scope and duration
The course is designed for a total of 180 ECTS-AP and 3 years of regular study.
The abbreviation 'ECTS-AP' stands for European Credit Transfer credits. An ECTS-AP corresponds to a study performance of 25 hours (attendance in the courses, preparation and follow-up as well as examination preparation). As a rule, 30 ECTS-APs are completed per semester.
Language
The programme is offered in German. However, students can also choose individual English-language courses.
Modules
Our studies are organized in modules. In the initial phase, most modules consist of a lecture, which all students attend at the same time, and a proseminar, which is offered in parallel in small groups. In the further course of studies (SBWL, SVWL, electives) modules are generally held in small groups.
Course of studies
You can start your studies in the winter or summer semester. As a general rule, in the first semester you should complete the introductory and orientation phase (STEOP) with the modules "Introduction to Business Administration" and "Introduction to Economics". In addition, students normally attend the subject "Mathematics" and either the "Business Foreign Language" or "Law for Economics" in the first semester. This first semester forms the foundation for the further courses.
The following chart shows an overview of the modules completed during the course of study:
- Core management: 4 modules on the basics of management (strategy and marketing, organisation and personnel, investment and financing, service processes), 2 modules on external and internal accounting, and one module on business informatics.
- Core economics and statistics: 4 modules (theory of economic decisions, introduction to macroeconomics, economics of the public sector, statistical data analysis).
- Special management or economics: Altogether 4 basic and advanced modules in e.g. controlling, marketing, corporate management, taxation, business informatics, human resource management, etc. (management) or economic policy, international economic relations, market and state, behavioural and experimental economics, etc. (economics).
- Electives: 3 modules from the elective catalogue (e.g. Digital Business, Data Analytics, Operational Decisions, Gender and Diversity Management, etc.) as well as 1 "free" elective module from the entire offer of the University of Innsbruck.
- Supplementary package - Economics Plus! Instead of the optional subjects, a supplementary package from another field (e.g. digitisation, sustainability, political science, technology) can also be completed.
