Program Overview

Program Description:

Our Bachelor of Arts in International Business provides you with the basic knowledge and skills you need to become a competent player in international business, by effectively combining economics, business studies and quantitative methods. Three years of study prepare you for a wide range of specialised and leadership positions in fields such as accounting, finance or human resources. Since positions of this kind require knowledge of how society functions as a whole, we also attach great importance to the critical analysis of global economic issues.

To prepare students for activities in an international environment, modules dealing with global topics are spread throughout the curriculum, starting with the foundation modules in the first three semesters (Introduction to World Economy, International Economics and International Management). Specialisation modules are offered in the later semesters: Managing International Operations deals with structuring and optimising the multinational activities of companies, while Contemporary Issues in International Management covers current issues and intercultural aspects. The general business administration modules (Introduction to Management and its Quantitative Methods, Business Environment, Basic Principles of Strategic Management, Managerial Accounting) are designed to give students and overview of the basic concepts of business administration and economics, before taking a closer look at the different functional areas of a company: Marketing, Operations Management & Statistics, Resources and International Finance.

Managers with a degree in International Business are able to assume responsibility in all types of management functions within a company. Whether they become strategic analysts in international corporations, branch managers of companies abroad or foreign companies in Germany, project managers in controlling and investor relations, or decide to work as sales, production or supply chain managers of international branch offices - graduates in International Business have plenty of career oppurtunities.
