text: Admission to the master's degree program Strategic Management and Innovation requires the skill to combine a profound knowledge of strategy, organization, marketing, finance, and accounting required for strategic management with knowledge of qualitative and quantitative research methods. It is assumed that this knowledge has been attained if both equivalence of a bachelor’s degree and qualitative requirements are fulfilled as follows:
  Equivalence must be fulfilled with the applicant’s bachelor’s degree. This means that the completed bachelor’s degree must cover the following core areas (without taking the bachelor’s thesis into account):
  92,5 ECTS credits in business studies and economics, therefrom at least 50 ECTS credits in business subjects
  Qualitative entrance requirementsmust be fulfilled as follows:
  15 ECTS credits in (management and financial) accounting
  12,5 ECTS credits in marketing, retailing, strategic management, tourism/service management, or public management
  7,5 ECTS credits in mathematics and/or statistics
  Graduates of the Bachelor's Program Management and Economics and the Diploma Program International Economic and Business Studies at the University of Innsbruck automatically meet these qualitative admission requirements.
