Overview

During their studies, students consistently develop their knowledge and skills across all fields of economics and management. The General Master’s in Economics and Management programme from University of Lucerne is therefore suitable for people who plan to move into professional fields that call for general economic knowledge as well as the ability to undertake analytical and conceptual work incorporating multiple disciplines.

A key feature of the study programme is the systematic targeted analysis of data, along with examining how data is handled and how it can be used to gain strategic and operational knowledge.

Career prospects

Graduates are in the best possible position to take on responsible roles and managerial positions in the economic, political, public administration and non-profit sectors.

The broad focus of the Master’s programme means that students also boast comprehensive skills for any future activities in research, think tanks or consulting.

In addition, the large number of English-language courses and the volume of study content sets students up extremely well for positions in international companies or organisations.
