The following master's programs prepare specifically for a doctorate within LEAD:

This master's program teaches central content-related and methodological knowledge and its importance for educational practice and research considering different perspectives: How can learning outcomes be measured (diagnostics), influenced (intervention/counseling) and evaluated? What role do individual learners, groups of learners and society play? Self-Assessment tailored to this program provides information on the contents, requirements and professional opportunities.

The M.Sc. in School Psychology provides not only broad skills in the basic psychological subjects, but also more advanced study in educational psychology, psychometrics, crisis intervention and Ccnflict management, evaluation methods and quality assurance as well as in clinical child and adolescent psychology.

The goal of the Master's program in sociology is to deepen the scientific knowledge and skills acquired in the bachelor's program. Students receive both insights into the current state of knowledge of the theoretical and empirical sociology as well as extensive training in qualitative and quantitative analysis methods.

The curriculum of this master's program ensures that students will gain deep insights into the whole field of cognitive sciences. Various basic research directions will be covered with the additional focus towards practical knowledge application. In this way, the program prepares for future practical work in cognitive sciences and related disciplines, as well as for future interdisciplinary knowledge exchange within science and industry.

The M.Sc. in managerial economics is designed as a 3-semester program. The curriculum includes both courses in economics and management science.
