In the first two semesters, students acquire fundamental knowledge from the areas of psychology, management and digitalisation. Students from other departments are also given a quick insight into core discipline.

In the first semester the focus is on the following topic areas:

• General and social-psychological aspects: Personality-, development and social psychology, marketing and sales psychology

• General management: Humans & ethics, sustainability and digital process management
• Working- and research methods: Basics of empirical research and qualitative and quantitative methods
• Term-time practical project: Get to apply acquired knowledge in practice and try out task fields. The practical project helps develop skills and knowledge on competences.

In the second semester, the focus is on the following topic areas:

• Working- and organisation-psychological aspects:
  Organisational psychology and agility, leadership and motivational psychology
• Digital transformation management: Taking relevant legal aspects into account, students learn to accompany digital change projects in the company.
• Digital methods: Focussing on the basics of predictive analytics, machine learning and collaborative methods that enable virtual collaboration, for example.
• Term-time practical project: Get to apply acquired knowledge in practice and try out task fields. The practical project helps develop skills and knowledge on competences.

Since most business psychologists work in the areas of Sales and HR management, the third semester features three modules of individual focus depending on the particular interest of the student. Students can choose between two areas of specialisation Human Resource Management & Digitalisation and Sales Management & digitalisation and shape their personal profile by individual interests.

In the fourth and final semester, the personal and team competences of students are strengthened.

In the media- and interview course, students get training on how to make a convincing and authentic appearance in public, and, secondly, to know the rules of (social-) media. The latter promotes student's media skills, which enable a critical approach to the handling of information, and also appropriate and socially responsible conduct in the digital workplace and day-to-day life. In the Career Planning course, students are given the opportunity to reflect on development steps in the form of a profile- and potential analysis and to visualise their professional goals.

The seminar week is used to build team competences as well as the application and reinforcement of specialist and methodical knowledge.
As part of the excursion week (e.g., visit to the technology factory, conference visit) students work on study-specific case studies in teams. Finally, in the fourth semester, students write their Master's thesis using the scientific methods and skills acquired during their studies.
