International Business & Management

We all live in a world with globalized markets. In order to successfully compete in these markets, companies of all sizes need people who not only have a sound knowledge of business and management principles but are also equipped for multinational environments where intercultural and language competencies are of utmost importance.

These needs are addressed through this program, which combines business education with language skills and fosters an international climate that enables future careers.

The program is exclusively taught in English. Dedicated courses allow you to improve your English language skills. You will also acquire basic, business-oriented skills in an additional language. You have a choice between French, Spanish, and—if you are not a German speaker—German. The first four semesters will introduce you to the most important disciplines of business administration and economics. They also include language modules. During semester five, you will gain experience abroad. You are welcome to study at one of our partner universities or at a university of your choice. Alternatively, you will have the opportunity to do an internship in a foreign country. Back in Germany, the program focuses on your specialization in management, including a comprehensive case study, where you will work on innovative projects. This experience, together with a business simulation, will provide a unique set of challenges to help you develop holistic managerial skills. The program concludes with a bachelor’s thesis.
