Building on the foundation of your Bachelor’s degree, the Master’s in German-French Management (DFM) allows you to gain advanced technical expertise in your chosen areas of specialisation. The focus is repeatedly on France-specific and international aspects. You deal with numerous interesting issues, which are oriented towards the future challenges for companies: What effects does the digital transformation of companies have on the German and French economy? How can global companies operate in a socially and ecologically sustainable way? How are operating processes in production, logistics, and the health care sector optimised? How can data be used with the help of business analytics to create competitive advantages? Which behavioural science aspects must be taken into account in the design of effective business control? How does sustainable financial management work? How can innovative, easily scalable business models be developed? What cultural differences must be taken into consideration when developing market entry strategies?  Terms 1-2: Degree section at the University of Augsburg (60 ECTS credits) The first year (M1) of the Master's degree in DFM is spent at the University of Augsburg and is made up of two module groups.
