Integrated Risk Management (Master, Part-Time)

How do you plan for the unplannable? No one can see into the future. But good managers have the foresight to identify risks early on and the courage to implement innovative solutions. The master's degree program in Integrated Risk Management allows you to pursue two exciting career paths. With the focus on Risk Management, you will learn to recognize and deal with hazards and threats in a highly dynamic environment. By focusing on Internal Auditing, you will learn to check the effectiveness of the measures taken and report directly to the top management or the Supervisory Board.

unique education in the German-speaking world
internationally recognized certificates: Risk, Process and Quality Manager, Certified Internal Auditor

With this part-time degree program, you are opting for an education that is unique in the German-speaking world and combines risk management with economics, process and quality management as well as internal audit expertise. The integrated approach of the study program is represented by the Three Lines Model, which serves organizations as a basis for a functional control and monitoring system. Integrated Risk Management is a degree program that can be applied in many ways in business, whether in profit or non-profit organizations, corporations or in small and medium-sized enterprises, with which you will secure excellent career opportunities for yourself.

Performance indicators are an essential tool in risk management. It requires both the development of financial and procedural indicators. To meet these requirements, different focuses are set in the first semester:

Students with a business background will attend courses in process and quality management
Students with process and quality management experience will attend courses in business studies - business planning

In the following semesters, you will learn various qualitative and quantitative analysis methods. Thus you will learn to identify potential hazards to analyze operational and strategic risk situations and to develop multidisciplinary approaches to a complex environment. Finally, you will learn to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, the controls and the management and monitoring processes from the perspective of the internal audit. You will acquire the basic authorization for the certificate as a certified internal auditor.

The course is designed as a practice-oriented, challenging work and learning setting at Master's level, in which students work independently on complex tasks from a professional context, reflect critically on them and develop them further in a well-founded manner. In bindingly structured work phases, they assume responsibility for planning, management and quality assurance and work on the professional development of their approaches with ongoing feedback. Collaboration takes place along defined roles, interfaces and standards and also includes the reflective handling of conflicting goals, uncertainty and pressure to make decisions. Overall, the format promotes professional judgment, resilient routines and the ability to lead and coordinate in a quality-oriented manner under pressure to be efficient and to implement improvements effectively.

Students are able to derive orientation for the further development of their professional field from theory-based reflection and to formulate concrete approaches for the introduction, scaling and continuation of innovations that can be transferred to comparable situations
Teaching method
Reflective competence development is methodically framed by Tavistock-inspired work-discussion formats: professional situations are introduced in the form of condensed case sketches, reconstructed in their organizational embedding (role, expectation and interaction structures) and analysed with regard to their effects on decision-making and action logics. In addition, reflective journals/learning logs and standardized reflection guidelines are used for systematic documentation, longitudinal pattern recognition and theory-based evaluation of personal experiences. In the sense of single- and double-loop learning, the underlying premises, rules and normative settings are critically reviewed and further developed in addition to the results of actions. Peer review, collegial case consultation and sensemaking arrangements ensure multi-perspective validation, strengthen professional judgment and support the transfer to complex management, coordination and development tasks.
