The objective of this degree programme is to teach intensive application-oriented knowledge on a scientific basis to graduates of bachelor's programmes, German Diplom programmes or equivalent, which empower them to act independently and responsibly in an international business environment, in particular through intercultural and interdisciplinary competence. This ability is enhanced by, among other things, the compulsory semester abroad. The focus of the programme is on teaching a comprehensive, internationally oriented approach to business administration. The degree programme is designed, in particular, to enable students to develop agile entrepreneurial thinking in an environment that is constantly changing due to globalisation, in order to use this to further develop organisations in an economically, socially, and ecologically sustainable manner.
Programme Structure
The consecutive master’s programme comprises 90 ECTS credits to be earned in three programme semesters. During the first programme semester, in-depth knowledge of international business administration is taught to the extent of 30 ECTS credits. During the semester, students will have their compulsory stay abroad, which will also award 30 ECTS credits. The master thesis will conclude the third semester, which awards 30 ECTS credits in connection with further contents taught during this semester. The second part of studies (2nd semester) is to be completed abroad. Students may choose between two partner universities: ULBS in Sibiu (Romania) or the University of Salerno (Italy).
