The Mercator School of Management is a classic business school located in Duisburg. It involves fifteen chairs of different business administration disciplines. Each of the three pillars of the MSM combines four of those chairs in a research department.
Academic programs
Research Departments
The central research areas are “Accounting and Finance”, “Technology and Operations Management”, and “Management and Marketing”, each of which is also responsible for a specialized master program of the same name.
In addition, the mainly service-oriented chairs have been combined in the Department of “Managerial Economics”, which presents the educating foundation of the Mercator School of Management. Next to the three chairs of Economics, it includes chairs of East Asia Studies covering the areas of Japan/Korea and China, a chair of Business Education and Didactics and the fields of Management Science and Business Law.

The accredited Bachelor of Science in Business Administration offers A-level/Abitur graduates a first professional degree with a broad theoretical foundation.
After having earned an honor’s degree in the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (or a comparable program), students can choose from seven alternative Master programs of four semesters each. The internationalized General Management Track allows students to specialize in one field from each of the three business administration departments mentioned above.
