Two research-focused modules, designed to build advanced research methodology, academic writing, and analytical competencies.
Two general management modules, covering essential executive-level business knowledge and strategic leadership principles.
One specialization module related to the student’s selected study field within global management.

The program culminates in a master’s thesis and structured research activities, allowing students to conduct in-depth research on a real-world global business or management challenge. This final research project demonstrates mastery of strategic analysis, methodological rigor, and applied business knowledge.

With a minimum duration of 12 months, the program offers flexibility for professionals who require extended study time, making it suitable for working executives and international students seeking adaptable academic pathways.
