Understanding Economics, Shaping the Future: The program provides in-depth knowledge of business administration, economics, and related fields such as law, statistics, and digitalization
The Faculty of Economics and Business Administration at Chemnitz University of Technology is establishing an English-language program starting in the 2025/26 winter semester. The master's program in Business & Economics (M.Sc.) offers graduates of bachelor's programs in economics and business administration an excellent foundation for careers in large and medium-sized companies with international networks, in academia, in administration, or in internationally active organizations.
“With the introduction of our English-language program, we aim to provide our students with the best possible conditions for a successful career in the global economy,” explains Prof. Dr. Michael Mayer, Dean of Studies for the program, adding: “We are convinced that this step will make our university even more attractive and promote exchange and collaboration on an international level. At the same time, we want to contribute positively to regional economic development.”
The program provides in-depth knowledge of business administration, economics, and related fields such as law, statistics, and digitalization. Students analyze economic relationships, learn to make entrepreneurial decisions, and deal with current challenges such as sustainable management, the impact of technology on business processes, and international trade structures.
The modular structure allows for personalized specialization. Additionally, with appropriate course selection, students can deepen their expertise in up to two of the following areas and have these specializations noted on their certificates:
Strategy, Leadership & Economics
Sustainability, Innovation & Marketing
Finance, Taxation and Controlling
Empirical and Applied Economics.
It is also possible to learn additional foreign languages.
The program is designed as a full-time on-campus study and can be completed in four semesters. Under certain conditions, part-time study over eight semesters is also available. This offers maximum flexibility – ideal for students balancing family commitments or initial work experience alongside their studies.
Set in a research-intensive, international environment with excellent contacts in business, politics, and academia, the program offers students the opportunity to thrive. Additionally, they benefit from the location in Chemnitz – a city in transition. As the European Capital of Culture 2025, Chemnitz offers a creative, urban setting with a high quality of life and many cultural opportunities.
The prerequisite for this master's program, which usually begins in the winter semester, is a bachelor's degree from Chemnitz University of Technology in economics and business administration. Under certain conditions, a bachelor's degree in Business Informatics, Business Administration and Engineering, or European Studies with Economical Sciences is also accepted as well as a professionally qualifying university degree in a program with equivalent content. The details are outlined in the study regulations.
Applications for the winter semester 2025/26 are still open for international applicants until July 15, 2025, via uni-assist (https://www.uni-assist.de/en/). German applicants can apply until September 19, 2025.
