What distinguishes the Master's degree program at accadis Hochschule?
The graduate programs in the Department of Management are distinguished by a number of special features: First and foremost, they are practice-oriented and internationally geared. The entire course of study is in English, which prepares students for a career in a global job market. Another advantage is that the student groups are small and contact with the lecturers is close and intensive.

At accadis Hochschule, we guarantee our students a high degree of planning security and "release" them as sought-after young professionals.
Business Administration - Master's degree program with specialization and distinctive leadership skills
All degree programs are structured in the same manner and include the module sequences of Strategy, Marketing and Finance, which are relevant in the field of business management. In this way, we offer students a comprehensive English-language business administration program and turn them into experts in their chosen specialization. The high-quality management content is rounded off by distinctive leadership skills. In the Leadership Skills lectures, students learn to solve complex problems with a composed mindset, analytical acumen, digital expertise and a high level of understanding of human nature, thereby preparing themselves for management in both an academic-analytical and a practical-conceptual way. Few university graduates are as convincing when entering professional life with a professional and confident manner as accadis graduates. Our cooperative partners companies and alumni have been confirming this for decades.
Semester abroad or internship during the Master's program
A special feature - and at the same time a highlight for students - is the opportunity to spend a semester abroad at one of countless universities around the world, integrated into the degree program. This allows students to gain intercultural experience and build up an international network. Alternatively, students complete an internship lasting several months, during which they further consolidate their practical expertise and gain important insights for their later career choice.
Consulting and research project
Intensive practical experience is not only taught to our students through the course content but is also lived and tested during the consulting project. During the consulting project in the second year of study, students advise a company from the accadis network and work on a complex project from the company's everyday life as a team. They expand their practical expertise and gain additional valuable experience for their future careers.
Another special feature of the accadis Master's program: We offer our students the option to replace a module with a research project. Here, students take on projects from the three research areas of sports, digitalization and entrepreneurship or support professors in academic research or conducting studies.
Small groups with students from all over the world
The personal contact between fellow students and lecturers makes all the difference at accadis . The groups are deliberately kept small so that the lecturers can challenge and support the students individually. In this way, we guarantee customized academic support. In addition, the distances are short and the regular exchange among students is supported by numerous team activities.
Another important aspect is the diversity of the people who study at accadis. Some of the students from the graduate courses come from a wide variety of countries and around the globe, and as a result bring diverse academic backgrounds with them. This diversity creates a unique study environment where students can learn from each other and build an international network.
Experienced lecturers from the professional world
Benefit from the diverse experience our faculty members have gained at renowned companies around the world. Most of them have many years of experience in business and bring both their theoretical and practical knowledge to the lectures. This ensures a practice-oriented education and provides students with insights into current developments and trends in business. The practice-oriented course content is enriched by regular guest lectures from renowned companies.
High level of planning security
One of the most important aspects that many students take into account when choosing a Master's degree program is planning security: When do the lectures take place, on how many days do I have lectures, can I work as a student trainee in parallel accadis and when are the semester breaks? Students receive answers to all of these questions before they even start their studies. In addition, you will know exactly which lectures will be held when, when the Master's thesis will be written, and when the Graduation Ceremony will take place.
Thanks to this planning security and the well-structured degree program, almost all students complete their studies within the standard period of study of 6 trimesters or two years, and at the same time have gained extensive practical and international experience.
Master's degree programs to be augmented by department of Education
