Why you should study Social Management

With a Master's degree, you can not only expand, deepen and specialise your knowledge in a specific subject area. In the course of your IU studies, you will also be taught more in-depth content, methodologies and skills, which many employers regard as an additional professional qualification. In many professions, a Master's degree is a prerequisite for a career or an academic career. In addition to significantly more attractive career opportunities, possible experience abroad and valuable contacts in the business world, you can usually also expect a significantly better starting salary. This means that an internationally recognised Master's degree offers you a whole repertoire of advantages that you could be denied with a pure Bachelor's degree. 


Your IU studies in Social Management

With your Master's degree in Social Management, you face interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary challenges. You deal intensively with Business Administration and Economics as well as with legal backgrounds. In addition to subject-specific topics such as Social Innovation and Quality Management in Social Services, you will also learn the necessary Research Methodology. You can also specialise in specific areas during your IU studies. For example, in the areas of Diversity Management, Data Science and Digital Transformation. Or you can expand your soft skills in the areas of Leadership, Communication and Negotiation Techniques. Financial Management, Accounting, Human Resources - your Master's degree in Social Management makes you a multi-talent for a very specific industry. Not to forget the exciting topic of Ethics.

With your Master's degree in Social Management, you can take the next step in your career and assume responsible Management and Leadership positions in all organisations of the Social Economy.
