After having successfully completed your Management Bachelor’s degree: Are you now looking for a master’s programme providing you with an integrated approach to organizations, training you theoretically and practically in the key fields of management – strategy and organization – and preparing you perfectly for future leadership positions? Traditional management programmes usually broaden knowledge in just one subject area, such as marketing, controlling or finance. At UW/H, courses like "Theories of Leadership in Organizations", "Strategy Implementation" or "Organizational Culture and Change" will provide you with interdisciplinary knowledge of corporate and organizational structures. You will learn about requirements for flexibility and how to lead organizations as a whole.
Moreover, you will learn to think entrepreneurially, try to develop and implement strategies, and develop a feeling for responsible decision-making processes – not only from the profit maximization perspective, but in particular by taking societal changes into account, as well as an organization’s global, economic, social, cultural and ethical contexts.
Students at Witten/Herdecke University organize their financial contributions to the tuition fees themselves. In 1995 students designed the Reverse Generational Contract and set-up the StudierendenGesellschaft (SG) in order to enable students to study regardless of their financial background.
Our Career Service fosters the professional career of our students right from the start by organising career workshops on job applications, design thinking workshops, the "Marriage Market" recruitment fair or company field trips. Various events throughout the year aim to bring students and companies together, provide start-up support for successfully launching their career and help gaining initial work experience. In addition to these services, the Career Center site – an online job market for UW/H students – provides access to job offers and events for UW/H students.
The UW/H Marriage Market is a recruiting evening at which UW/H students can meet future employers. Twice a year, various companies present their job offers and career opportunities on campus, aiming to meet potential employees on a personal level. From the prospect of getting a student trainee job to successfully starting their career: Students have the opportunity to connect through face-to-face conversations, as well as to establish and expand their professional network from the first semester.
Our alumni remain closely connected to their alma mater long after graduation. By participating in various committees and initiatives around the university, they keep track of our development and get actively involved. Our annual UW/H Alumni Meeting is therefore not only a reunion event for former fellow students and for recollecting past memories: Graduates also meet current students in workshops, impart their experience and establish new contacts. Via the Almanac – the alumni online portal – they are also able to access the experience and expertise of the alumni network, now over 7,000 members strong.
Our network of businesses and organisations does not only comprise contacts to partner companies and organisations in the region, Germany and abroad, but also the continuous involvement of external experts in seminars of our degree programmes, our alumni network, the Marriage Market recruitment fair, and our Career Service, which advises students on their career development.
