Notes on the study program M.Sc. International Economics and Management

Con­di­tion­al Ad­mis­sion

The Faculty of Business Administration and Economics offers students who do not fulfil the content requirements the opportunity to make up to 30 ECTS that are missing for admission to the Master's degree programme in International Economics and Management as part of an enrolment subject to conditions. The missing study components are shown in the letter of admission so that you know in which fields you are missing ECTS for admission to the Master's programme before you start your studies.

The requirements must be made up by taking Bachelor modules. You can also start your Master's programme at the same time. The Guide for Conditional Master's Students contains the most important information for international students.

As long as you have not fulfilled all conditions, you can take up to 60 ECTS in the Master's programme. Further ECTS from the Master's programme can only be taken as soon as all requirements have been fulfilled and proof of passing has been submitted to the Office of Academic Affairs (e.g. via a screenshot from PAUL).

Please note that the requirements are not shown on your Master's transcript. The work you have completed as part of the requirements only serves to fulfil the admission requirements; they are not included in the Master's degree programme in terms of grades or ECTS credit points.

If you have any questions about the prerequisites and the modules to be taken, you can contact the study programme coordination at any time.

Choice of Study Tracks

Students, who got enrolled before winter semester 2025/26, have the opportunity to choose a study track as part of their studies. For students, who got enrolled before winter semester 2025/26, the following study tracks are offered: Data Science in Economics, Cooperation and Competition or Global Markets and Globalization. The successful completion of a study track requires the selection of a specific combination of modules corresponding to the chosen study track (30 ECTS + Master's thesis). As soon as the modules assigned to the study track have been completed and the Master's thesis has been registered, confirmation of the choice of study track must be applied for from the program coordinator. This application for designation must be made before completion of the Master's thesis/the respective module (as the last course achievement), as designation can no longer be carried out after completion of the degree program. The completion of the study track will then be shown on the degree certificate.

Kooperation und Wettbewerb sind die zwei Seiten einer Medaille und stehen im Mittelpunkt der sozialen Interaktion. Dies gilt auf verschiedenen Ebenen. Individuen konkurrieren um knappe Gelegenheiten wie gut bezahlte Jobs, hervorragende Noten oder Paarungschancen. Wiederkehrende Gelegenheiten eröffnen den Spielraum für Kooperation und die Bildung sozialer Netzwerke. Unternehmen konkurrieren um Kunden. Wiederholter Wettbewerb schafft Anreize zur Zusammenarbeit, wie z. B. kollusives Verhalten. Nationen konkurrieren um Rohstoffe, Land oder eine saubere Umwelt. Wiederholte Interaktion und die Gefahr eines permanenten Zusammenbruchs eröffnen Möglichkeiten für kooperative Vereinbarungen, die letztendlich unseren Planeten retten können.

Der Track Cooperation and Competition vereint alle Module, die sich auf diese Kernprobleme der sozialen Interaktion beziehen. Aus der Perspektive der Verbraucher, der Unternehmen und der Gesellschaft vermittelt dieser Track den Studierenden die notwendigen Kenntnisse und Fähigkeiten für eine tiefgreifende und gründliche Analyse von Kooperation und Wettbewerb. Unsere Absolvent*innen haben Stellen bei Strategieberatungsunternehmen, Wettbewerbsbehörden, Wirtschaftsforschungsinstituten, im Gesundheitswesen als auch in akademischen Einrichtungen gefunden.

Das primäre Ziel des Tracks Globalization and Global Markets ist es, den Studierenden einen tieferen Einblick in die moderne Globalisierung und die unterschiedlichen Vorstellungen von ihr in der Wissenschaft und der Öffentlichkeit zu vermitteln. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf der Zukunft der Globalisierung und der Frage, wie eine ausgewogene weltweite Entwicklung erreicht werden kann, während wir uns den heutigen globalen Herausforderungen in den Bereichen Welthandel, Finanzen und Arbeitsmärkte stellen.

Jahrzehntelang haben Ökonomen, Politiker und Führungskräfte aus der Wirtschaft mit sehr unterschiedlichen Ansichten und Perspektiven über die Globalisierung geschrieben. Während viele die Globalisierung im Finanz- und Handelsbereich vorangetrieben haben, haben andere die Vorzüge der Globalisierung, die Rolle der internationalen Handelsorganisationen und die Vorteile einer globalen Wirtschaft, die den freien Handel und die globalen Märkte fördert, in Frage gestellt.

Die Globalisierung ist jedoch unaufhaltsam. Das Ergebnis ist eine neue kommerzielle Realität - das Entstehen globaler Märkte für standardisierte Konsumgüter und Dienstleistungen in einem bisher ungeahnten Ausmaß. Unternehmen, die sich auf diese neue Realität eingestellt haben, profitieren von enormen Größen-, Umfangs- und Steuerungsvorteilen in Produktion, Vertrieb, Marketing und Management. Indem sie diese Vorteile in niedrigere Weltmarktpreise umsetzen, können sie Konkurrenten dezimieren, die noch in den alten Annahmen über die Funktionsweise der Welt verhaftet sind. Die Bewältigung der Globalisierung erfordert ein ausgewogenes Verhältnis zwischen Märkten und Regulierung sowie zwischen der globalen Wirtschaft und dem Nationalstaat.

Angesichts der sich ständig verändernden Weltlage werden von den künftigen Führungskräften in der Wirtschaft und den politischen Vertreter*innen in einer globalisierten Welt mit globalen Märkten neue Fähigkeiten und methodische Kernkompetenzen verlangt, wie z. B. Kenntnisse der industriellen Ökologie, um in einem Geschäftsmodell der Kreislaufwirtschaft ein nachhaltiges Produktionsniveau zu erreichen. Die beruflichen Möglichkeiten, die sich denjenigen bieten, die den umfangreichen Katalog der erforderlichen Fähigkeiten, die diesem Track zugrunde liegen, erworben haben, stellen nicht nur eine Herausforderung für uns alle dar, sondern werden auch ihr Denken für eine unnachgiebige Leidenschaft öffnen, die Welt zu einem besseren Ort für uns alle zu machen. Eine "Win-Win"-Situation für uns alle jetzt und für künftige Generationen.

Study Tracks (pos­sible for stu­dents en­rolled from winter semester 2025/26)

Students who choose the Data Science in Economics track acquire theoretical knowledge of modern statistical and econometric methods and gain practical skills and experience in the processing, analysis and visualisation of structured or unstructured data. Special emphasis is placed on methods of causal analysis, forecasting economic and financial data, big data and statistical learning as well as the acquisition and application of programming skills in R, Stata or Python. Students also learn to understand the economic value of data and to interpret and effectively communicate the results of their analyses.

Data scientists are highly sought after by companies in all sectors as well as public institutions, especially if they combine technical skills with sound knowledge of statistical principles and economic thinking. In addition to excellent earning and career opportunities in the private sector, graduates with a specialisation in Data Science in Economics have all the skills and knowledge necessary for a successful career in an empirically oriented field of science, such as an empirical doctoral dissertation in Business Administration and Economics.

For creditable modules in the respective semester please refer to the module catalogue.

 

Programme coordinator of the specialisation: Prof. Dr. Hendrik Schmitz

In a constantly changing global economy, characterised by challenges such as advancing digital networking, the increasing scarcity of natural resources, the effects of climate change, the transition to renewable energies and demographic change, economies are facing far-reaching transformation processes. In view of these dynamics, it is essential to develop economic policy frameworks and strategies that ensure the long-term viability of sustainable markets and institutions through a high degree of adaptability and resilience.

Students on the Sustainable Economics track learn to translate sustainability challenges into a consistent economic analytical framework and to evaluate design alternatives. In particular, students also learn how, for example, methods of behavioural economics can help to refine the understanding of cause-and-effect relationships and thus develop evidence-based solution proposals.

The Sustainable Economics track opens up a wide range of career opportunities for students. Graduates use the skills they have acquired in research at universities and research organisations as well as in economic policy consulting in companies, international organisations or public institutions.

For creditable modules in the respective semester please refer to the module catalogue.

Programme coordinator of the specialisation: Dr. Gunnar Gutsche

The Market Mechanisms specialisation provides in-depth knowledge of the design, analysis and functioning of markets in an increasingly networked and dynamic global economy. Students deal intensively with the question of how markets function under different institutional framework conditions and what role information asymmetries, strategic behaviour and regulations play in this.

A particular focus is placed on modern microeconomic approaches, game theory concepts and economic modelling, which contribute to the design of efficient and fair market mechanisms. Typical areas of application range from healthcare markets, auction design, matching markets (e.g. labour or housing markets) to platform economics and digital markets.

Graduates of this specialisation have analytical tools for evaluating existing market structures and market outcomes as well as for developing new market mechanisms. These skills are particularly in demand in consulting firms, international organisations, public authorities and the private sector - especially in areas where markets need to be strategically designed or regulated.

For creditable modules in the respective semester please refer to the module catalogue.

Der Study Track Economics and Management bietet Masterstudierenden die Möglichkeit, ihr Studium flexibel und interdisziplinär zu gestalten. Er kombiniert fundierte wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Inhalte aus den Bereichen Volkswirtschaftslehre (Economics) und Betriebswirtschaftslehre (Management). Studierende können aus einem breiten Spektrum an Modulen wählen und sich dabei individuell Schwerpunkte setzen – etwa in strategischem Management, Unternehmensführung, Marktanalyse oder ökonomischer Theorie und Politik.

Dieser Track richtet sich insbesondere an GeneralistInnen sowie an Studierende, die sich in einem anderen Themenfeld spezialisieren möchten als in den drei übrigen Study Tracks. Er eignet sich ideal für alle, die eine akademische Laufbahn oder eine Karriere in wirtschaftsnahen Bereichen anstreben und dabei analytisches Denken mit Managementkompetenz verbinden möchten.

Für anrechenbare Module im jeweiligen Semester sehen Sie bitte im Modulkatalog nach.

Abgesehen von möglichen Pflichtmodulen können alle Module, die dort unter den Rubriken „International Economics“ und „Management“ gelistet sind, für den Study Track „Economics and Management“ angerechnet werden. Es müssen Module im Umfang von 10 ECTS aus dem Bereich „Management“ und 20 ECTS aus dem Bereich „Economics“ absolviert werden.

FAQs Study Tracks

For students who were first enrolled in the Master program International Economics and Management before winter semester 25/26, it is not compulsory to choose a specialization.

For students enrolled in the Master program International Economics and Management program for the first time from winter semester 2025/26 onwards, it is compulsory to choose a specialization, as this is included in the curriculum.

The M.Sc. International Economics and Management programme covers a broad spectrum of subjects and opens up the possibility of a wide range of internationally oriented career paths. A specialisation offers you the opportunity to focus on a specific subject area and to make the corresponding profile within the degree programme even more visible to the outside world.

Students, who got enrolled before winter semester 2025/26, have the opportunity to choose a study track as part of their studies. If you are already enrolled, please make sure that you have enough ECTS credits free to complete the study track. The 30 ECTS must be completed as part of the elective modules (economic/general electives; not in the additional area).

Students, who got enrolled from winter semester 2025/26 onwards, have to choose a study track as part of their studies. If you are not yet sure which study track you would like to choose, you may want to wait until the second or third semester before registering study track modules and, thus, choosing one specific study track. 

Students who enrolled in the Master's programme International Economics and Management for the first time before winter semester 2025/26 can decide to choose a study track at any time during your Master's degree programme up to the time you register for your Master's thesis, as long as you meet the necessary requirements for the study track (you must have at least 30 open ECTS credits to be able to complete modules in the study track). You do not need to register or apply for the study track.

To apply for confirmation from the degree programme coordinator, you must request a grade overview from PAUL and send it to the degree programme coordinator (msc-iem@campus.uni-paderborn.de) together with the confirmation of your thesis (see below). The confirmation will then be automatically forwarded to the Examinations Office so that the study track is noted on the degree certificate.

Confirmation of Master Thesis (firstly enrolled before WiSe 25/26) 

Important: As soon as the modules assigned to the study track have been completed and the Master's thesis has been registered, confirmation of the choice of study track must be requested from the programme coordinator. This request for designation must be made before completion of the Master's thesis/module (as the last course achievement), as designation can no longer be carried out after completion of the degree programme.

 

Students who enrolled in the Master's programme International Economics and Management for the first time from winter semester 2025/26 onwards must choose a specialization during the course of their studies and take modules in this specific area. Each Study Track has specific modules assigned to it (specialization area). As soon as you register for one of the assigned modules in PAUL, you choose one of the Study Tracks. From this point on, the other Study Tracks will no longer be available for you. It is possible to change the Study Track once, provided that you did not fail one of the modules from the previous Study Track. All modules completed prior to the change will be transferred to the new Study Track, unless it could not have been completed in the new Study Track.

Important: Successful completion of a Study Track requires that you select 30 ECTS of modules which correspond to the chosen specialization. Doing this, you have to register the modules in the respective field in PAUL.

The module lists for the study tracks can be found above in the field "Choice of study tracks". You must select modules totalling 30 ECTS from the module list assigned to the study tracks.

The modules in the study track are subject to the same regulations as all other modules. It is therefore important that you register for modules in the study track with a limited number of participants during the first registration phase.

The allocation to chairs for theses is carried out via the central allocation procedure for theses (except Department 3). It is therefore important that you select the most suitable supervisors for your chosen study track as part of the central allocation procedure for theses. If you are assigned a different supervisor, ask them for a topic that matches your specialisation. Have the Confirmation of Master Thesis form (see below) filled out so that you can submit it with your application.

Confirmation of Master Thesis (firstly enrolled before WiSe 25/26) 

In principle, it is possible to complete a study track together with other study programmes, such as the ASBE programme, the double Master's programme with Tohoku University or other programmes abroad, provided that all requirements are met. Courses that you complete at other universities can be recognised for modules of the study track, but you must pay particular attention to the choice of your modules.

For information on the general procedure, you can contact the programme coordinator of the M.Sc. International Economics and Management programme.

For information on specific questions about the study tracks, you can contact the coordinator responsible for the individual specialisations. You can find the contact information in the respective field above.

Re­cog­ni­tion of Ger­man Courses for In­ter­na­tion­al Stu­dents

As knowledge of German is an admission requirement for international students, and we also want you to integrate and feel at home with us, you must demonstrate knowledge of at least level A2 CEFR before completing the Master's programme. 

Please note that only the following certificates are recognised:

  • Goethe-Institut certificates (level A2 or better)
  • TestDAF (TDN 3, TDN 4, TDN 5)
  • "German Language Test for University Entrance" (DSH) (DSH 1, DSH 2, DSH 3)

Other (external) certificates cannot be recognised.

 

The required knowledge can also be acquired at Paderborn University in German courses lasting 240 hours.

Only for students who were first enrolled in the M.Sc. International Economics and Management program before winter semester 2025/26:

The German courses (at least level A2) can be credited as “German for international students” in the compulsory elective area “General Elective” (5/10 ECTS). The grades are weighted according to the credits (starting with the course that fulfills the minimum requirements and then from top to bottom).

To credit these courses, please submit the examination certificate via Email to msc-iem@campus.uni-paderborn.de. Crediting is possible until the registration of the Master's thesis at the latest.

 

IMPORTANT!

If you do not wish to have any German courses credited, the language certificate A2.2 must be submitted to the Examinations Office by the time you register for your Master's thesis at the latest.

Double Master's programme of the Universities of Paderborn and ­ Tohoku

Paderborn University and Tohoku University, Japan, offer a double Master's programme. It enables students to study simultaneously at both institutions and obtain a Master's degree in both the M.Sc. IEM and the Global Programme in Economics and Management at the University of Tokoku in four semesters.

Asi­an Stud­ies in Busi­ness & Eco­nom­ics

Students of Master's degree programmes at the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics can apply for the Asian Studies in Business and Economics (ASBE) programme with a study visit to a partner university in Asia in the respective winter semester. The ASBE programme offers the best opportunity to shape your own CV in an international and targeted way.

 

The ASBE programme is based on 3 phases and comprises 4 modules (40 ECTS):

  • Phase 1: Foundations and preparatory measures
  • Phase 2: Events and studies in Asia
  • Phase 3: Presentation, evaluation and reflection

 

Further information on the ASBE programme can be found here.

Students participating in the Asian Studies in Business and Economics programme can have the ASBE I-IV modules credited in full.

The following regulation applies to the M.Sc. International Economics and Management programme:

  1. Each of the modules ASBE (I), ASBE (III) and ASBE (IV) is an elective module in terms of examinations, which can generally be assigned to the field of "Economics: International Economics" (Econ-Elective). This assignment is predefined for the ASBE module (I).
  2. The ASBE module (II) is essentially a project work, which is partly completed in Paderborn and partly in Asia. The project work can be supervised by any professorship in Department 4: Economics. In this case, the module must be assigned to the field of "Economics: International Economics" (Econ-Elective) as an elective module. If the project work is supervised by a professor from one of the other departments, it must be assigned either as an elective module in the field of "Business Administration: Management" (Management-Elective) or as a free elective module "General-Elective".
  3. At least one of the modules ASBE (II), (III) and (IV) must be assigned to the field of "Business Administration: Management" (Management Elective) or the free elective module "General Elective". In addition to 2., crediting requires a corresponding specialisation of the module.
  4. For crediting as a free elective module "General Elective", the fields "Business Administration: Management", "Business Administration: Taxation, Accounting & Finance", "Business Administration: Production, Logistics and Controlling", "Economics: International Economics", "Business Law", "Methods", "Business Education" or "Business Informatics" are available for selection. The assignment must be specified.
