Master IB - Strategic Management & Consulting

Career booster CBS degree

At the Cologne Business School, you will learn in the part-time master “International Business – Strategic Management & Consulting” the specialized knowledge to evaluate risks and potentials of business decisions. Already during your studies, you apply these skills in a Business Simulation Game. Your studies will be rounded off by a Business Skills course as well as a number of other courses.

From student to young expert

Proven methods and strategies ensure that consultants can work faster and more efficiently. In the first two semesters at the Cologne Business School you will get to know these methods in seminars such as “Strategic Analysis and Management”, “Consulting Techniques” and “Evidence-based problem solving – CaseLab”.

Accompanying the strategic relaunch

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 organizational 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.
