What can I do with it later?
This job is all about networking. The career profiles of our alumni provide an interesting insight into the field. If you work in economic development, you might be employed by a business development organisation, the Chamber of Industry and Commerce or the Chamber of Crafts and Trades.
If you work in regional management, you might start your career in a planning office or in municipal administration, or act as regional manager for a LEADER region.

What makes the study programme special?
You study in small groups of up to 20 people. The study programme is project- and practice-oriented, i.e. you already become acquainted with your professional field during your studies.
Many tasks are carried out in student teams, always under the individual supervision of the teachers in the program. Our numerous field trips to Germany and neighbouring European countries provide you with a wide range of fascinating insights into the world of work.
In addition, you will have the opportunity to already participate in applied research projects during your studies.
