Your course content
What you will learn
Our degree programme International Business offers not only the content comparable to the German bachelor programme but on top provides you with intercultural competences, and precious experiences abroad: Your semester abroad will not only boost your foreign language(s) – for many students it is an experience echoing throughout their whole life. At times, important networks and contacts are built which are valuable for your future career. The integrated semester abroad at one of our partnering universities also offers you a very wide range of interesting topics to specialize in the academic area of your interest, e.g. Strategic Management, Financial Management, Sports Management or HR – and many more.
Nowadays, an international and border-crossing mindset already constitutes an important qualification by its own right, being highly valued on the job market. Students with an understanding of different cultures, a more inclusive mindset and aware of a diverse range of business practices are very much sought-after. Our International Business programme consequently supports this with modules like, e.g.,
- Marketing
- Human Resources Management
- International Accounting
- International Law
- Operations Management
- Internationales Taxation
