Semester Abroad

Experience international marketing markets - Master of Strategic Marketing


Learn country-specific marketing instruments

All ISM Master's programs include an integrated semester abroad, including M.A. Strategic Marketing Management. You can choose your partner university from a network of more than 30 universities. No matter which partner university you choose, your academic achievements will be 100% credited.

The semester abroad will deepen your subject-specific knowledge. You will also set individual priorities and get to know the intercultural peculiarities of the chosen cultural area. At the same time, you will perfect your language skills.


Financing your semester abroad

ISM students can apply for a variety of scholarships and grants for their compulsory semester or internship abroad. Some examples include the Erasmus+ program, Feline Holidays scholarship or different DAAD programs. The International Office is available to help with the application and counselling regarding these financing options.

    Fast Track: On the Fast Lane

    When you choose the option "Fast Track" the semester abroad is omitted and you shorten your internship period. This allows you to complete your master in Strategic Marketing Management degree on-campus in only 3 semesters and with 90 ECTS. Prerequisite: you bring 210 ECTS from your Bachelor (an alternative admission to Fast Track is possible via demonstrated work experience or by taking the ISM Pre-Master). The fast track option must be selected before your start semester. Find out more from your study advisor.
