Course organisation
Students acquire a broad range of management and related skills in three semesters of coursework. Competences acquired include strategic management, negotiating techniques and project management, entrepreneurship, information management, and the ability to understand and deal with complex global and European-level policy topics and processes.
The third semester requires a specialisation in two specific subjects ("minor specialisations"), one of which can be extended to a "major specialisation" in the first weeks of the fourth and final semester. Alternatively, at the beginning of the fourth semester, an international project can be pursued. The rest of this semester is devoted to a Master’s thesis on a topic of the students’ own choice.
The third semester offers opportunities to study abroad at one of our partner universities and/or obtain a double degree.

TH Wildau is located approximately 45 minutes south-east of the centre of Germany’s capital city, Berlin.
Green, interconnected campus
TH Wildau is a campus university. The teaching and administration buildings, dining room, and library are all located on an interconnected campus by the Wildau S-Bahn train station, with direct access to Berlin. This makes studying in Wildau exceptionally convenient.
Modern infrastructure with tradition
The campus is located on a historic industrial and manufacturing site. Where once locomotives were built in vast production halls, today people study, teach, and conduct research. Some of the teaching and laboratory facilities of TH Wildau have been housed within these historic walls, while for others, new buildings have been constructed. This extraordinary mix of old and new continues to attract students and visitors with a passion for architecture.
