The Master's specialization in Management Consulting encourages you to learn how theories and methods from different social sciences can be brought together to support the formulation of normative and evaluative or mere instrumental advice. Consultants are hired when clients do not know what action to take, when they are uncertain or when they lack sufficient time for proper reflection. Your task as a consultant is to solve management problems, improve performance, implement changes or seize new opportunities.
However, it is far from certain that clients will follow your advice, make the right decisions or carry out the measures necessary to implement change. That is what makes management consultancy such a challenging profession. How can you help improve a decision? How can you assist effectively during a change process? This specialization will prepare you for these challenges by equipping you with the tools you need to succeed in this exciting field and by providing you with the best training available. You will also develop the personal skills consultants need, which will help you become an invaluable partner to businesses, government agencies and other organizations.
