Intercultural Leadership and Technology

The English Master program "Intercultural Leadership and Technology" is designed to specifically meet the needs of professionals with a technically or economically oriented academic degree who are seeking international careers in senior management positions.

The program can be completed online in four semesters, even when you are working. You acquire the course contents via our interactive online learning platform, allowing for complete flexibility. This also gives you the chance to check your learning progress individually at any time.

At the end of each semester you will apply and deepen your newly developed knowledge during a virtual learning phase for up to 8 days. Our lecturers will integrate interactive examinations in this phase.

One of the distinguishing features of our study program is the high practice-orientation.

All our lecturers are experts in their respective fields with either a scientific or an economic background. Our modules include leadership, engineering and intercultural competence. Modules in the area of organizational development, strategic management, leadership and project management lay the foundation for your career in international management.

You will broaden and deepen your intercultural competence, especially regarding leadership and business culture in Germany and Europe. In addition, you can also choose a cultural elective in the second semester.

The first step for you is to update and develop new knowledge in a chosen focus in either computer sciences or engineering. In a second step, you apply these new findings and competences in your company.

When writing the Master thesis in the fourth semester, you can analyze current problems from science and economy.

    The fields of competence (competence in leadership, intercultural competence and (refreshing of) technical competence) can be taken individually as certificate modules or can be integrated in our continous education Master. The certificate modules are generally accepted and recognized. Thus, if taken successfully, they can be fully accredited for any other degree thanks to the European ECTS-system.

  • When studying at CES, you benefit from intensive support and counselling due to small groups as well as targeted interaction and innovative teaching. As this Master's is an online program, the capacity of the individual modules can be raised following demand. Therefore, we can ensure comprehensive student supervision and sustainable learning. This way, CES lays the ground for your next career move.
