Introduction
Your degree, your way:
No matter your specialist area, a master's degree in management can take your career opportunities to the next level. Management skills are highly sought after by companies worldwide—no matter the industry. With a Master’s in management on your resume, you show potential employers that you are a decision maker with motivation and the right mindset to manage resources, projects, or people and drive business success. This well-rounded degree can top off your existing knowledge in your specialist area.
Your door to the business world
Management today must be flexible, future-oriented, and progressive. International developments such as globalisation and financial crises, but also local events and industry-specific trends, will change tomorrow's management. IU\s Master Management reacts to this change and trains your business management skills to prepare you in the best possible way for your future role as a manager.
Regardless of whether you come from physics, engineering, or the humanities - with us, it's not your background that counts, but your motivation to drive innovation and make a difference. The Master Management offers you the opportunity to acquire an additional qualification in management that is both scientifically oriented and practical. You don't need any previous knowledge of business administration and can focus on a specialist area from the fields of International Marketing, Finance & Accounting, IT Management, Engineering Management, Big Data Management, or Leadership.
