International Business Management
Course Overview
The full-time bachelor’s degree programme comprises a standard period of study of six semesters. The curriculum includes a ’mobility window’ in the 5th semester: a semester reserved for you to study abroad, undertake further modules with an applied focus as part of career development or to do an internship.
For the bachelor’s programmes, the total student workload for the courses is 180 ECTS credits.
From international business law to strategic management and intercultural communication, you’ll learn everything you need to build a successful business career. You’ll also have the opportunity to spend a semester abroad – choose from a selection of highly international cities such as London, Shanghai, and Singapore. You can combine this with an internship or business project with global companies such as Amazon or Alibaba so that you’ll be ready to kick-start your career as soon as you graduate.
