Do you want to be independent, determine your own life and remain flexible at all times? Then you should also be able to enjoy maximum freedom during your Master's degree. No matter how you organise your everyday life, your distance learning programme at IU International University of Applied Sciences is entirely geared to you and your personal needs. Not only will you have access to an innovative mix of online campus, digital learning formats and virtual live formats, you will also be able to choose from various time models - for self-determined learning whenever, wherever and however you want. 

Your Bachelor's degree is only the beginning if you want to make a career as a manager later on. For many companies, a solid foundation of specialised knowledge is only sufficient for certain professions. A highly qualified and internationally recognised Master's degree is particularly worthwhile for you if you want to take on responsible tasks at a higher management level later on or even sit in the executive chair. However, the additional effort required for a Master's degree is not only worthwhile in terms of your career prospects. You can also specialise, deepen your knowledge and gain valuable experience and contacts abroad. Your future employers will reward all of this with praise in the application process, managerial positions and a starting salary that is up to 20 percent higher.    

The contents of your Master's degree in Coaching (120 ECTS credits) at IU International University of Applied Sciences are specifically oriented towards the current requirements in coaching practice. The aim is to prepare you both practically and theoretically for your future professional life so that you can develop or support individuals, groups or teams under your professional guidance. In order to be able to reflect on and clarify the most important questions and topics and to derive new possibilities for action, you will not only be taught basic learning and development theories. Personality psychology and topics such as research methodology, methods in the coaching process and goal-oriented interviewing are also part of your curriculum. You will also learn how conflicts within teams can be solved, how people behave in organisational contexts and what is important in the professional interaction between coach and client. At the same time, you will strengthen your own reflective ability and be able to acquire special knowledge in systemic coaching. 

With your Master’s degree in Coaching (120 ECTS credits), you will be more than in demand as an internal and external coach. After successfully completing your Master's degree, you’ll be able to choose to become self-employed or work as a consultant for freelancers, self-employed professionals or specialists and executives in organisations of all sizes. Your task will be to accompany a wide variety of people from the most diverse areas in important goal-setting, decision-making and change processes. You will also support individuals, groups or entire teams in developing their potential and skills, in career planning or generally in coping with difficult tasks and crises. The ultimate goal: the conscious self-transformation and self-development of your clients, so that they can meet the challenges of today's everyday working life adequately and flexibly at any time.
