“Regions in competition.”
What is this study programme all about?
Whether it's the business location of a company, the acquisition of subsidies for urban and regional development or the conception of a regional tourist offer - regional managers and business promoters are the ones who are at the helm to ensure successful regional development and to discover and develop the potentials at their doorsteps.
The contents of the seminars and excursions include, among other things:
- Regional management
- Regional and city marketing
- Municipal and supra-regional business promotion
- Tourism and regional development
- EU regional politics
- Subsidy management and consulting
- Facilitation and conflict management
- International development cooperation
What can I do with it later?
This profession is all about networking: In the field of business promotion, your employer could be, for example, a business promotion agency, the Chamber of Industry and Commerce or the Chamber of Crafts. In the area of regional management, your professional career could start off in a regional special purpose association or you might enter the working world in a consulting and development team.
Further career opportunities are offered in tourism and regional associations, biosphere reserves and nature parks, in regionally active companies or foundations and, last but not least, in science.
What makes the study programme special?
You study in small groups of up to 20 people. The study programme is project- and practice-oriented, i.e. you already become acquainted with your professional field during your studies.
Many tasks are carried out in student teams, always under the individual supervision of the teachers in the program. Within the scope of our numerous excursions, we also offer you insight into other European regions.
In addition, you will have the opportunity to already participate in applied research projects during your studies.
