In order not to overlook anything in individual cases, we recommend that you enquire at the Office of Examination and Recognition Services.

Due to a change in the curriculum, students have required substitute courses worth 16.5 ECTS (instead of the previous 15 ECTS) since October 1, 2021 in order to complete the subject "Unternehmensgründung und Unternehmensentwicklung" (see Curriculum section L, opens a file). This means that the KS Essentials of Leadership and Change (3 ECTS) AND the KS Market-oriented Management: Fundamentals (3 ECTS) must be completed. If one of the two courses is required for another specialization, students can take the SE Entrepreneurial and Leadership Skills seminar as a substitute.
