The Master of Science in Business Administration is an internationally-oriented, research-based programme that allows students to tailor their studies to their individual strengths and interests. Designed for graduates in business or related fields, the programme combines academic depth with practical relevance. Students choose one of four majors – Accounting, Finance, Management, or Marketing – and complement it with a minor in one of eight areas, including Entrepreneurship, Information Systems, and Economics. This modular structure enables flexible combinations and supports the development of a unique academic profile. The curriculum includes theoretical and applied courses, seminars, and case studies. Students gain practical experience through real-world business challenges, such as the John Molson International Case Competition, and they collaborate with top companies during their studies. With an English-taught curriculum and opportunities for international exchange, the programme offers excellent preparation for global careers in business, consulting, and academia.
A GCQ360 counsellor can help you with eligibility, documents, and your application timeline.

As in all popular university cities in Germany, accommodation is in high demand and not easy to find in Münster – but it's not impossible either! Like most German universities, we do not have our own student halls of residence. However, the "Studierendenwerk", a governmental organisation, offers student halls in Münster. You can find additional information on housing options here and here (only in German). When contacting about private offers, be careful! Please make sure that you never transfer money before you sign the rental contract. Ideally, you should be able to talk personally to the potential landlord, even if you are still abroad (via phone, video call, etc.) If you are not sure whether an offer is real or possibly a fraud, please feel free to contact the team of our International Office and send us the offer.
We recommend that students budget at least 1,000 EUR per month to meet personal expenses (accommodation, living, health insurance). You can find more information here: https://www.uni-muenster.de/international/en/studierende/general-information/cost-and-funding.html.
