Special features regarding teaching
Particular attention is paid to the practical orientation of the courses taught. These involve simulation games and case studies. Students get to work on several projects at companies. It is thanks to extensive research that future-oriented topics are always integrated into the courses. Teaching is supported by an e-learning platform where documents and study questions are made available centrally and where discussion forums, etc. can be set up. The SCM Master's programme uses the KEU teaching method, developed in-house, which has been customised for this programme.
Special features regarding the international orientation
Each student completes a semester abroad in a non-German-speaking country at one of the numerous partner universities. This location owes its international ambience to a large number of international (incoming) students. A dedicated international office supports incoming and outgoing students in their international activities. There is also a teaching staff mobility programme. International visiting professors, an international week and international cooperation with a variety of research projects highlight the international orientation of this department.
