In a digitalised and globalised world, it is more important than ever for graduates of a master's programme to be able complex challenges through innovative and strategic thinking. It is precisely this sustainable business planning that the English-language master's programme Business Development (MSc) prepares students for. The focus is on the application of state-of-the-art tools and processes for the development of new products and services. In addition, students acquire in-depth knowledge of mathematics and statistics as well as negotiation skills and project management.

The German-language Digital Transformation & Sustainability (MSc) programme also deals with the topic of digitisation – and combines this with another future-focused topic: sustainability. Professors and project consultants support a small study group with a maximum of 17 students in project-based learning and prepare them for a career as a change manager, project manager or CEO. The Master's Degree Digital Transformation and Sustainability is oriented towards the global goals of the UN.

The consecutive master's programme Finance (MSc) is aimed at ambitious graduates for whom conscious further training is important and who would like to qualify for demanding activities in the financial sector while working. In workshops and projects, students learn financial instruments and strategies as well as negotiation techniques that are important for financial intermediaries in particular as well as for the entire business world in general.

The application-oriented business administration course Global Management & Governance (MSc) is also taught in English. The focus here is on the areas of internationality, business ethics and governance with the aim of promoting future specialists and executives.

The sector-specific Master of Real Estate & Leadership (MSc) has a slightly different focus. Ambitious graduates from engineering, architecture and business administration bachelor's degree programmes deal with the real estate sector and all parties involved. Through the combination of extensive scientific content and a high level of research orientation, future generalists and managers can acquire in-depth knowledge in order to act strategically and sustainably in practice.

The generalist, English-language Corporate Management (MBA) programme imparts basic business management knowledge. In their first year, students deal with questions relating to the development and implementation of corporate strategies. A specialisation in the areas of Digital Marketing & E-Business, Financial Markets & Risk Management or Strategic Management is possible in the second year.

The part-time, English-language master's programme Shipping (MBA), which focuses on business development in the maritime industry, offers specialist orientation. Experienced lecturers from the shipping industry provide students with all the essential prerequisites for outstanding management performance in the maritime industry.

The generalist Executive MBA (EMBA) taught in English offers experienced practitioners with management experience the ideal opportunity to further develop their skills. Students deepen their application-oriented studies in the key areas of internationality, business ethics and governance. In the full-time variant (1.5 years), students complete a highly concentrated study programme, while the part-time variant (2 years) can be combined with full-time employment.

FAQ

Due to the part-time structure, the master's programmes provide a unique opportunity to qualify oneself while receiving a salary at the same time. In addition, the content learned can be applied directly in practice and vice versa.

Master students can absolve a semester abroad but it needs to be individually reviewed together with the company.

Generally it is possible to receive credits for the absolved and passed exams and needs to be discussed before going abroad with the international office of HSBA.

You can find more information on the options of studying abroad or a summer school here.

Applications can be handed in at any time. But since HSBA has a limited capacity of students per course and some grants and scholarships are awarded on a first-come-first-serve basis, we recommend to apply early.

If you want to apply for the Job & Master programme we recommend you to apply even earlier due to the longer procedure of the application.
