Location of The Bonn-Rhine-Sieg University of Applied Sciences

Bonn is already renowned for being one of the leading locations for non-governmental organisations (NGOs) worldwide. The new programme of study leading to the degree of Master of Business Administration in NGO Management has been introduced by the Department of Business Administration in Rheinbach. The programme is established in the vicinity of the great number of UN organisations, hundreds of NGOs and their associations as well as international schools and scientific organisations.

Its purpose is to look at organisations engaged in the areas of international development cooperation, environmental protection and health from the point of view of Business Administration.

The programme comprises three semesters (18 months), the first two of which are intended for extra-occupational studies with compulsory attendance. The third semester
is exclusively intended for the transfer project and for writing the master’s thesis.

The MBA programme is primarily intended for employees who have been engaged abroad as engineers, natural or social scientists, for instance, and who are now planning to enter managerial positions in NGOs.

Furthermore, this offer is designed for employees at NGOs who wish to acquire management skills to further their careers. However, it is also designed for employees
at private companies who, for instance, wish for professional advancement in the area of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) or in Marketing and Corporate Communication.

The degree course is also aimed at foreign students in particular who, after having completed their first course of study, are seeking to spend a study period abroad in this country and to establish contact with the local NGOs in order to cooperate with them after having returned to their home countries. Scholarships, among other things, are available for this purpose.


Contents

The Master's programme is divided into modules. Each module constitutes a separate learning unit. The modules are well-matched in terms of content and time and are systematically related to one another within the framework of tuition. The individual modules and courses are connected by the scientifically based and hands-on practical international orientation of tuition, the wide range of courses as well as by interdisciplinary cross-competences, their focus on international relations and their strategic orientation towards the NGO sector. The modularisation of the entire subject matter and examinations enables students to successively monitor their learning progress and to optimally plan and control their own courses of study.
