With 30 students who have earned their first degree at 15 different universities, the "Class of 2020" of the Communication Management Master's programme at the University of Leipzig is starting.
The selection process for the highly sought-after degree programme was completed today without a move-up procedure. A total of 260 applications were received. 94 graduates of relevant Bachelor's programmes from Germany and abroad were invited to the personal interviews at the Institute. Due to the large number of suitable applications, a multi-stage selection procedure had to be carried out.
Enrolled were 23 women (77%) and 7 men (23%) who completed their first degree at universities (87%) or universities of applied sciences (13%). They come, for example, from Münster, Mannheim, Mainz, Hohenheim, Würzburg, Stuttgart, Erfurt, Berlin, Hanover, Ilmenau, Tübingen and Cologne. The different backgrounds and professional experiences of the new Masterclass promise a creative and productive working atmosphere.
The programme will start on 13 October 2020 with an introductory event. Half of the courses in the winter semester will be held in presence in appropriately equipped rooms; virtual and hybrid formats are planned for the other seminars.
