MA International Business and Management

The consecutive, English-taught Master's programme in International Business and Management (IBM) 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.
