Application
Participation in this programme requires the successful completion of a selection interview (via Zoom) in addition to the application for a Master's degree programme. Admission to the Consulting Badge is not automatically granted with admission to a Master's programme.
It is also desirable that applicants have already gained initial insights into the consulting field prior to applying for the Consulting Badge, for example through an internship, a working student position, involvement in a student consulting organization, or similar experiences.
Registration for the selection interview can take place at the same time as or before the Master's application. The selection interview is conducted together with a practice partner. However, the decision on admission to the Consulting Badge programme is made by the professors present.
Register for the selection interview by sending a short e-mail to: johannes.kellner@ku.de.
Please add your CV or link to your LinkedIn Profile to the e-mail.
