Why study International Management at Master’s level?
The Master’s programme in International Management is specifically designed to build on a Bachelor’s degree in business administration and systematically develops your technical, methodological and personal skills. With a strong practical focus, concrete examples of application and an emphasis on real-world challenges encountered in everyday professional life, our lecturers impart up-to-date knowledge.
You will deepen your knowledge in an international context, apply it in a practical manner and systematically prepare yourself for demanding specialist and leadership roles in internationally active businesses across all sectors and levels of the economy, as well as in associations, academic institutions and public bodies.
Thanks to a wide range of options available from the second semester onwards, you can shape your own individual profile for a career with an international outlook.
Course structure
Year 1 – Specialisations & Compulsory-Elective Modules
In the first semester, your existing business administration and methodological skills will be specifically developed. In the second semester, you have a choice: choose between our three specialisations – International Marketing, Finance and Controlling, or Retail Management. You will also select a supplementary module: Business Relations, Artificial Intelligence or Entrepreneurship.
Year 2 – International Focus & Practical Experience
In the third semester, you can undertake either a practical semester abroad, a practical semester with an international focus, or a study semester abroad. The practical semester lasts 20 weeks. Information on the study semester abroad can be found here.
The programme concludes in the fourth semester with the completion of your Master’s thesis and a colloquium. Once you have successfully completed all requirements, you will graduate with a Master of Arts degree.
Please note that, for organisational reasons, if you commence your studies in the summer semester, a study semester abroad can only be undertaken in the fourth semester.
Full details on modules, content and the course structure can be found in the module handbook.
