Job Possibilities
The interdisciplinary orientation of the programme “Ethics – Economics, Law and Politics” (EELP) qualifies degree holders to pursue a PhD or to carry out outstanding professional activities in politics and economy.
ACADEMIC CAREER OR LEADERSHIP POSITIONS IN POLITICS AND ECONOMY
The degree holders will develop the requested abilities for employment in research and beyond. The Master’s degree permits to pursue a PhD in one of the participating disciplines. Beyond research the degree holders are prepared for a wide range of responsible positions – in the management of companies, organisations or political parties, as consultants to NGOs, in task forces of administration as well as in the fields of organisational development and human resources development.
SOLVING PROBLEMS IN COMPLEX CONTEXTS
More and more, challenges and problems of the professional world ask for an insight in complex contexts and for the consideration of ethical aspects at the same time. For instance, if you work in the environmental department of a leading business company you have to know the standards of environmental policy as well as the regulatory framework and it is your task to settle matters of ecological responsibility. The EELP-programme reacts to these challenges by teaching the special skills and knowledge of philosophy, economics, law and politics in combination.
By improving their competences of normative reflection and rational thinking, the holders of the EELP-degree are enabled to understand complex environments, to acquire new fields of knowledge quickly and to take decisions with regard to their ethical consequences and implications.
GENERALISTS WITH UNIQUE FEATURES
On the one hand the Master’s degree programme EELP and the interdisciplinary mentoring of the master thesis offer ideal opportunities for an early specialisation. The students can develop an individual profile with unique features. On the other hand they are provided with general and fundamental skills and strategies for problem-solving. Thus, our degree holders are generalists, who can work in different areas of operation. And because of the international orientation of the programme, they are well prepared for the international employment market.
