Due to the international focus of the program of the Master's in International Business, students are trained to become international business and management experts. This program is aimed also at students who have previously studies different disciplines than economics, which means that the basics of business management principles are taught in the first semesters.

In addition to learning business administration, economics, accounting and controlling, the students also learn about human resource management, international marketing and international business management. They will then write a practice-oriented Master's thesis in the fourth semester. This means that students will graduate with 120 ECTS in the fourth semester. This program does not include a semester abroad.
