When we introduced the new Advanced Study Phase of the Bachelor of Science two years ago we had one major goal: we wanted to create a structure that was flexible enough to offer students as much choice as possible. We should be able to introduce new modules based on student requests and the interests and research areas of the faculty. At the same time, modules that did not meet enough interest would be discontinued. In short, we wanted a marketplace of ideas—a fitting idea for a Business School.
I’ve just finalized the catalogue for the 2016 Advanced Study Phase. There are 43 modules in the four main thematic areas “Finance and Banking”, “Managing Organizations”, “Economics” and “Business and Society” plus eight in specialised tracks for students majoring in Business Information Systems and “Management, Philosophy & Economics”. We will offer six modules for the first time:
At the same time, over the past two cycles we have discontinued several modules. Either, because faculty left or, more often, because demand wasn’t high enough. I’m proud of this flexibility because it gives students influence and it forces lecturers to present their modules in an enticing way.
Shortly, students will choose their courses. I suppose that several modules will be in such high demand that we will offer them in two or even three parallel courses. And we will cancel those that fail to attract at least ten students. The principles of supply and demand seem to be working well at Frankfurt School!
