Complementary studies

The Complementary Studies are an essential part of the special teaching model of Leuphana. It supplements and expands students' subject-specific learning with the following three modules (5 CP each) with critical academic and practical perspectives from all faculties:

  1. Engaging with Know­ledge and Sciences (in the 1st Semester)
  2. Reflecting on Research Methods (in the 2nd Semester)
  3. Connecting Science, Responsibility and Society (in the 3rd Semester)

Masters thesis

Generally, the Master's thesis is written at the end of the degree programme after you have assured yourself of your interests in terms of content and methodology in the previous semesters.

All the information about the Master's thesis and how to organise your Master's thesis in five steps has been compiled for you on the website Master's thesis.

In addition, helpful courses for writing the Master's thesis are regularly offered as part of the GradSkills.

Management Studies

As a unifying element of the Masters programme in Management, Management Studies (15 CP) must be completed by all students of the Masters programme. The Management Studies lay the foundations for understanding and shaping management and entrepreneurship in a complex, dynamic and ambivalent environment.

In Management Studies, you will deepen your professional competences in the field of management in the following three modules:

The first semester uses a range of tools including case studies to illustrate "Organization, Strategy & Innovation", while the second semester explores "Digitalisation" and the issues surrounding it from the perspective of all six disciplines at the Faculty of Management and Technology (business administration, economics, law, psychology, IT and engineering). In the third semester, you develop specific business ideas for companies and partners in an "Entrepreneurial Project".

Note:

Since the Masters programme presented on this page is a German-language programme (with the exception of some seminars taught in English), the module overview is also presented in German.

Cultural Studies integration modules

The Cultural Studies inte­gration modules (15 CP) connect students from all Cultural Studies Master's programmes at Leuphana and intro­duce them to the history and metho­dology of Cultural Studies as well as current debates in the field.
