Course Content

The bachelor program in International Management specifically prepares students for management roles in an international environment. In addition to business English, students acquire proficiency in another foreign language relevant to business. Many courses are offered in English.

A mandatory semester of study or practical training abroad fosters international experience and intercultural competence. The curriculum combines business administration with international legal and management topics, as well as future-oriented competencies such as internationalization, sustainability, and digitalization.

Students can choose their own areas of focus through specialization and elective modules, as well as by focusing on specific linguistic and cultural regions. Extensive practical components, corporate partnerships, and projects round out the program.

Before the program begins, the “Startklar” program offers students the opportunity to brush up on certain foundational subjects (e.g., mathematics, English, etc.). The program begins with an orientation fair, and first-semester students are supported by mentors from higher semesters at the start of their studies. Information sessions and quality assurance initiatives also take place on an ongoing basis throughout the program.

The business administration program was voted by students as one of the top programs in Germany in the renowned CHE University Ranking.
