International Business Certificate
The ISM International Business Certificate program is designed for students with a strong interest in a study abroad semester at a German university. The program offers students individual support and academic guidance. The certificate allows students who do not speak German at an advanced level to take business classes in English and earn ECTS credits during their stay at the ISM. As a prerequisite we expect students to have a B2 level of English.


The ISM International Business Certificate can be studied at six of our seven campuses:
- Dortmund (spring and fall semester)
- Frankfurt/Main (spring and fall semester)
- Munich (fall semester only)
- Hamburg (fall semester only)
- Cologne (spring semester only)
- Berlin (spring and fall semester)
The program consists of six courses with 5 ECTS credits each. Thus, students enrolled in the ISM Business Certificate program can earn 30 ECTS credits in one semester.
For more information on the business certificate, please see the Fact Sheet International Business Certificate (PDF).
