"As an industrial engineer, it is my job to act as an interface between people with different educational backgrounds, characters and objectives. After ten years of professional experience, most recently managing executives, I realised how important people are for the economic success of a company. I therefore decided to study for a Master's degree in Applied Business Psychology at the OTH Amberg-Weiden in order to improve my practical management skills and gain a sound psychological insight into human behaviour in the business environment. In addition to the well-balanced and exciting module profile, a decisive reason that led me to this university was the noticeable closeness of the lecturers, staff and programme management and the noticeable flexibility for working people. In particular, the teaching of the complex psychological content with understandable and practical examples made it easier for me, with my engineering background, to fully follow the topics that were new to me. I feel the benefits of the degree programme most clearly in my job and am able to reach people even better, connect with each other and carry out projects efficiently thanks to the new skills I have learnt."

"I'm just as interested in economic relationships as I am in human behaviour and psychological backgrounds. This degree programme is the perfect way to unite and combine both areas of interest. These aspects are becoming increasingly important in practice, as organisations are placing more emphasis on responding to their employees and creating a motivating working atmosphere for them. At OTH Amberg-Weiden, I appreciate not only the degree programme but also the fact that lecturers are always on hand to offer help and advice. The mix of students from the region, Germany and abroad also brings a certain diversity that allows you to get to know other cultures and broaden your own perspective."

"After studying business administration, I made a conscious decision to do a Master's degree in business psychology in order to find out more about people as a resource and the psychological background and motivations behind business decisions. During the degree programme, the students' interests were always taken into account in the best possible way, which is how the focus of the teaching was determined. The professionally and especially personally competent lecturers, as well as the university's good contacts with companies in the region, for example for project work, which were very important to me personally, rounded off the study experience perfectly for me."
