Master Honors Program

Why do we offer a master honors program?

With our Master Honors Program, we aim to encourage outstanding or exceptionally dedicated students to develop their leadership skills in addition to their professional expertise and to prepare them for a successful career in academia or practice. This is particularly key in today's work landscape, as technological advances, globalization, climate change, and changing business and social models require not only expert supervisors but charismatic leaders who can navigate complex and rapidly changing environments, make intelligent decisions, and lead diverse teams with confidence, even in times of crisis.

Throughout our Master Honors Program, we want to sharpen the (self-)leadership skills of our Honor Students required for this so that they can master these multi-layered challenges as Future Leaders, create value, and advance society.

„For those who create economic value to advance and sustain society,
LMU Munich School of Management is the trusted home.“

To this end, special events (keynote speeches, workshops, networking events, etc.) are held as part of the 2-semester Master Honors Program, enabling Honor Students to build and strengthen their leadership skills while making valuable contacts for the future.
