The Master's degree program requires completing courses in the following subject areas totaling 120 ECTS credits.

During your first year at the JKU, the program focuses on basic management but with simultaneous opportunites to expand on your expertise in one of the three main areas (Competence Areas):

This Competence Area delivers in-depth insight into key activity areas that include Global Marketing, Business-to-Business Marketing, Marketing Tools, and Relationship Marketing.

Developing strategies (especially for dynamic and complex environments), creating future scenarios, innovative business models (particularly with regard to digitalization and the circular economy) and the processes and challenges in international companies (especially when working in multicultural and virtual teams), are the focal points in this competence area.

This Competence Area focuses on subject areas such as organizational learning, organizational skills, the managers's role when it comes to shaping human resources and corporate management, and individual (leadership) skills.

During your first semester at Y Schools, you have a range of specialization options, such as Digital Marketing & Social Media, Global Human Resources Management, Marketing & Sales Management, or Audit & Management Control.

During the second semester, you will complete a 6-month internship at a company you choose yourself. The internship does not necessarily have to take place in France; it can be anywhere in the world. During this internship period, you will also write your Master's thesis.
