Description/content

The Technical University of Applied Sciences in Wildau (TH Wildau) is the largest technical university of applied sciences in the state of Brandenburg. It is located close to the outskirts of Germany’s capital, Berlin.

The two-year Master’s programme in European Management provides expert knowledge in international management with a European perspective, specialising in finance, marketing, and/or human resources. Students will be working together with other students from different cultural backgrounds and gain practical experience in international business projects.

The programme can be completed entirely in English and is thus a perfect choice for international students who are interested in studying and possibly working in Germany or Europe. It is also ideal for German or European students who are preparing for an international career.

Course organisation

For the first three semesters, students can choose from three different international business management specialisations: finance, marketing, and human resources. In addition, students will have the opportunity to acquire expert knowledge on the economics, politics, and cultures of Europe as well as advanced management methods.

The third semester offers opportunities to study abroad at one of our partner universities and/or obtain a double degree. Students remaining in Wildau can complement their business management specialisation by choosing elective modules, which cover expert as well as interdisciplinary topics. 

In the fourth semester, each student will complete his or her studies with a Master’s thesis to illustrate his or her ability to work on a problem independently by applying research methods. Students are free to choose the topics of their theses in consultation with their supervisors.

Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau

Content Bild

The Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau (TH Wildau) is one of four universities of applied sciences in the state of Brandenburg. By combining the familiarity of a small compact campus with its proximity to the international metropole of Berlin, TH Wildau offers the best of both worlds.

A modern campus university on Berlin's doorstep

The university opened its doors in 1991 with just 17 students in the mechanical engineering degree programme. Today there are around 3,500 students, ensuring that TH Wildau keeps its familiar atmosphere. On a modern campus with a direct rail connection to Berlin, aspiring academics enjoy an ideal environment for their studies in a range of disciplines covering the natural sciences, engineering, economics, law, business administration and management.

Practical and application-oriented

The practical orientation of the degree programmes is one of the distinctive characteristics of TH Wildau. Students can carry out practical exercises and experiments with top-quality laboratory and computer technology. An optimal study environment allows creativity and enthusiasm for research to flourish.

Close interaction between the university and the economy

Its potential for scientific innovation and development is what makes TH Wildau a desirable partner for innovative small and medium-sized businesses, as well as large international firms. Collaborations include input into designing the curricula for the degree programmes, to project work for students within the companies and joint research activities. This allows students to gain valuable practical experience in various fields even before they have completed their studies, thus making them an attractive choice for businesses when starting their careers.

Excellent international networking

An international and intercultural outlook shapes each working day at the university. Young people from over 80 countries around the world study at TH Wildau. About one in six students comes from abroad.

TH Wildau actively promotes international exchanges for students and researchers. It is for these reasons that the university cooperates with more than 75 partner universities around the world. TH Wildau has contacts through its traditional partnerships in Eastern and Southern Europe as well as through links to Asia, Latin America, the Arab world, and Africa. Students have a wide range of attractive options for spending a semester studying or working abroad, for learning foreign languages and interacting with other cultures.

A strong research university

TH Wildau has a strong research focus. In comparison to other small universities of applied sciences, it has done exceptionally well in obtaining third-party research funding. Academics are working in over 40 research groups dealing with the latest topics in applied and fundamental research. This has given the university its reputation as a centre of excellence in various scientific disciplines.

University location

TH Wildau is located approximately 45 minutes south-east from the centre of Germany’s capital city, Berlin.

Green, interconnected campus

TH Wildau is a campus university. The teaching and administration buildings, dining room, and library are all located on an interconnected campus by the Wildau S-Bahn train station, with direct access to Berlin. This makes studying in Wildau exceptionally convenient.

Modern infrastructure with tradition

The campus is located on a historic industrial and manufacturing site. Where once locomotives were built in vast production halls, today people study, teach, and conduct research. Some of the teaching and laboratory facilities of TH Wildau have been housed within these historic walls, while for others, new buildings have been constructed. This extraordinary mix of old and new continues to attract students and visitors with a passion for architecture.

Prize-winning university library

TH Wildau has a state-of-the-art library in an architecturally dazzling industrial production hall. In 2012, it was nominated "Library of the Year", and not without reason. With its wide range of forward-looking services, this cutting-edge library is setting new standards by developing novel technical solutions for library organisation.
