    International Business and Management (MA)

    About

    The consecutive, English-taught Master's programme "International Business and Management" builds up on the business knowledge students previously gained in related Bachelor's programmes and provides in-depth and up-to date knowledge of business studies and key qualifications in the area of international management. After their graduation, students have gained the requirements needed for employees in specialised and leading positions in international companies or organisations. Graduates are able to take over complex leadership tasks. This is possible through the programme's intense relation to practical experience and focus on key challenges of international management at an advanced level. Combined with a high degree of internationality in the composition of the study group and the teaching content, students are well prepared to meet the challenges of a continuously changing international environment. During the first, second and third semester, students take six courses representing 30 ECTS credits per semester. Out of these six courses, three courses belong to the Key Competences (International Business Management), one course belongs to the General Competences (Social skills, communication, and research methods), and two courses belong to the two individually chosen electives. Two electives are offered in English, and six electives are offered in German. Each course in either category is worth 5 ECTS credits. Courses are usually given as lectures, and a schedule for each semester is fixed by the university. Both teamwork in small international study groups and individual study is applied throughout the studies. During the fourth semester, students write their Master's theses. The thesis represents 30 ECTS credits. Teaching methods include lectures, case studies, management simulations, team work, project work, presentations and assignments. Interaction between students and lecturers is fostered in small groups, which provide the opportunity for discussions about the issues at stake.
