The MSc Program starts with two Study Sections on WHU campus.

In both tracks, your core competencies will be strengthened in the Core Module comprising courses in Leadership, Ethics, Management Theories, Research Methods, Business Analysis, and a Business Game.

The town’s distinguishing feature - old bourgeois houses dating from the 17th and 18th centuries - are for the most part timber-framed buildings displaying exquisite beam carvings. Since 1934, Vallendar has been a government-approved health resort, offering Kneipp treatment and pure air for convalescence. The charming surrounding countryside offers many attractive walks and hiking routes. In the summer months, daily boat trips are operated along both the Rhine and the Moselle.

Nearby are Frankfurt, Germany’s financial hub, as well as Cologne ant Trier, whose roots date back to the days of the Roman Empire.
