The MA International Business & Intercultural Management is dedicated to qualifying first degree graduates for management positions in globally operating organisations. It is intended to equip future business leaders with the subject knowledge and the methodological, interpersonal and intercultural competencies which will enable them to (inter)act appropriately and responsibly in a diverse environment.
The MA International Business & Intercultural Management comprises three major stages. The programme starts with an induction period, during which the students assess their current level of subject knowledge by participating in a Business Simulation game. The foundation stage in semester 1 familiarizes them with the fundamental issues of Intercultural Management as well as Business Management and its international aspects.
Semester 2 offers advanced studies. Taking a cross-disciplinary approach, this phase provides an opportunity to deepen the participants´ expertise in Business Management and Research Methodology. In addition, the students specialize in selected cultural areas, namely Asia Pacific, the Arab World and Europe.
Semester 3 has been earmarked as the thesis stage. The Master Thesis requires in-depth empirical research in the student's chosen area. Ideally, the thesis is based on real situations in international companies or organisations.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
