Purpose, Leadership, Ownership - A sustainable world needs new ventures and responsible individuals who brush organizations against the grain. You want to take action and become an institution designer? Then the master's degree in "Economics - Responsibility - Institutional Design" is just right for you. With us you study the Gamechange! What if self-organization and self-management replaced hierarchy and controlling, if democracy and participation replaced heteronomy and dependency, if cooperation and solidarity emerged where competition and opportunism once raged? Undertakings for a better society in responsibility - this is what we enable you to do in this Master's program at the University of Applied Sciences. Together with progressive pioneers you will experience and build your power of change in a team. This study program promotes your personal engagement in practical transformation projects and deepens your transdisciplinary knowledge and skills in institutional innovation. Study the economy of tomorrow today: reflective, committed and with a sense of possibility!

It is a concern of the University that all admitted applicants can study at the university, regardless of their financial background. Therefore, the university and the HfGG student community are committed to various ways of financing studies. For example, the HfGG student community has developed its own scholarship model, which distributes jointly raised funds in a spirit of solidarity.

The master's program is consecutive (building on previous professional experience). In order to be admitted, you must have completed a relevant bachelor's degree with at least 180 ECTS at a recognized university at the beginning of your studies. A relevant degree is one that a) is a degree in economics, humanities, cultural studies, social sciences or engineering that has provided significant basic knowledge in economic and social science subjects, or b) in which it can be proven that competencies essential for the present Master's degree have been acquired, especially in the field of economics, or c) in which fundamentals of economics have been taught to an extent of at least 30 ECTS.
It is also possible to acquire the necessary competencies in an intensive pre-study program with us. If you have any questions regarding the application requirements, please send us an email and attach a complete and up-to-date module overview (listing by name the courses successfully taken in the BA and the ECTS earned) and, if applicable, other previous certificates of achievement. The current module and grade overview are sufficient for the application; the Bachelor's degree does not have to be available yet. The study program takes place in block courses - living and working outside the study location is therefore also possible.

It is possible to enroll in the semester on a rolling basis. Feel free to contact us to consider joining the current semester.
