What does the Master's degree program at the RheinAhrCampus cost?

For the Master's degree program "Management, Leadership, Innovation" at the RheinAhrCampus, a social contribution is due each semester (the current amount can be enquired at Studierendenservice). This includes benefits such as a D-semester ticket. No tuition fees are charged.

I would like to study your Master's program, but I do not yet have my final grade and/or my certificate. Can I still apply successfully?

The admission to the Master's program at the RheinAhrCampus is also possible if a maximum of 15 ECTS credits are still missing from your previous degree. Proof of having passed the final examination (certified copy of the certificate and diploma, proof of performance with stamp and signature of the respective examination office) must be submitted to the student service (Studierendenservice) by the student by the end of the first semester at the latest. However, if it is then established that the admission requirements have not been met, admission to the Master's program will be declared invalid with retroactive effect. In general, you should bear in mind that - if possible - it is always advisable to apply with the complete application documents.

"And what are you going to do with it when you're done?"

Cross-divisional functions with a high requirement profile in future-oriented, internationally orientated companies, e.g. as Product Manager, Project Manager, Account Manager, Innovation Manager, Founder or first hour employee of a start-up, Science and research.

Can I do the first and third semesters or the second and fourth semesters of the Master's degree program in parallel to graduate more quickly?

In general, you can organise your studies as you see fit. We recommend that you concentrate on the courses in the individual semesters so that this is reflected in your final grade. This grade may be more important for your future career than entering the labour market one or two semesters earlier. We would also like to point out that many of the courses run in parallel and it is therefore very difficult to combine courses from different semesters.

Why do I start in the summer semester in the second semester and not in the first semester?

The Master's degree program can be started in the summer or winter semester. The lecture plans assume that you start in the winter semester, so the winter semester is referred to as the first semester for administrative purposes. There are no disadvantages for the student in terms of content, as the courses in the second semester are not based on those in the first semester.

The Master's degree program includes a 26-week practical period. When does this take place and can I extend it?

In the 3rd semester (if you start in the winter semester, otherwise in the 4th semester) there is a compulsory practical period of at least 26 weeks, which you must complete with a founding semester, an internship in Germany or abroad or by studying at a foreign university. Of course, you can extend the period and also use your semester break for this. It is up to you to manage how you get the most out of your studies and how you make the most of our infrastructure and networks.
