The skills and motivation of personnel are increasingly becoming a strategic success factor in modern organizations. Human resource management can and must make a decisive contribution to this.  
 

Graduates of first degree programs in economics,  who, directly following their bachelor's degree or after a short period of professional activity, want to take advantage of a consecutive, i.e., continuing, business administration human resources degree program for their further professional and academic development. Most of our students have previously studied at a university of applied sciences (HAW)/FH or dual university in Germany, but some students also come directly from abroad or from traditional universities.
In a deliberately small student group of only 20 - 25 students per year, you have the opportunity to develop individually and to study together with excellent fellow students.
The Master IHRM is one of the oldest business consecutive masters at German colleges and universities. The Ludwigshafen study area Human Resource Management is one of the very few universities at all that can offer the complete HRM study program spectrum in terms of personnel and academic content with the consecutive Bachelor IPO, the IHRM Master in Human Resource Management as well as the continuing MBA HRM. 
 

As a "Master in Management", the Master IHRM is a consecutive business administration degree program in full-time form. Scientifically sound, but with an application-oriented profile, it deals with human resources and organizational management in international companies. Graduates of the program can work as specialists and managers in human resources management, especially in globalized companies with classic corporate careers. Internationally oriented career paths are possible as a generalist or as an HR specialist. 
Depending on their professional goals, our graduates also develop management careers as commercial all-rounders in export-oriented medium-sized companies or internationally oriented SMEs. After graduation, students can start their careers in Germany, Europe or overseas, with the majority of graduates starting in Germany and later spending several years abroad.
The M.Sc. degree, which is typical for "Master in Management" programs, ensures the necessary quantitative and research methodological competencies to subsequently start a doctorate in economics in Germany or abroad or to work as a research assistant at a research center or institute for human resource economics.
