Overview

Within the Strategic Management and Consulting programme from CBS International Business School you will acquire the tools to successfully master these challenges.

Key facts

Flexibility, decisiveness, and high professional competence are only three characteristics of successful consultants. In order to carry out an inventory within the shortest possible time, you need profound specialist knowledge in all areas of business administration.

Change processes in companies usually encounter resistance, even though opportunities often lie in change. Consultants give their clients the security they need on their way to restructuring or mergers.

Therefore, the focus of the third semester is on the topic of “restarting a company”. From the fourth semester onwards, you will also deal with the challenges of organisational structures and development and take part in a business simulation game with your fellow students. You complete your studies with a master thesis in the fifth semester.

Careers and opportunities

Whether a big international corporation, medium-sized company, or small start-up.

The part-time master's degree in “International Strategic Management & Consulting,” gives you plenty of opportunities to kick start your career in strategic management consulting.
