International Business

Learn business by doing

Learning in International Business is highly practice‑oriented. Your studies include contact teaching, virtual and blended learning, case studies, company projects and team‑based assignments. In the first year of studies you apply theory in practice and develop essential working‑life skills such as teamwork, communication, problem solving and self‑management through the Virtual Firm. Learning takes place under the guidance of experienced teachers and team coaches who support both individual and team development.

Choose your specialisation

In your second year, you shape your own career path by choosing two specialisation modules (15 ECTS each) from eight options:

• Accounting and Finance
• Digital Business
• Experience Economy
• Human Resource Management and Leadership
• Innovation Management and Business Development
• Digital Marketing
• Supply Chain Management
• Sustainable Entrepreneurship

These specialisations allow you to deepen your expertise in areas that match your interests and career goals.
