The programme combines core courses on strategic management with specific modules dedicated to developing the consulting skills of the participants. This is achieved through working on strategic consulting projects and sharing experiences with members of top consulting firms. A final master’s thesis allows participants to delve into personalised topics that can prepare them for the next step in their careers in strategic management. The fundamentals of strategic management are taught in Fall semester, with a strong emphasis on corporate strategy, strategic marketing, corporate finance, as well as organisation, economics, and quantitative methods. The most advanced courses take place in the Spring semester, with a focus on corporate valuation, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), leadership as well as the strategic challenges of digital innovation and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations for companies. The programme also incorporates a four-day study trip during which students visit leading consulting firms and participate in team activities and workshops.
