Programme content

  • Consolidation of general business administration knowledge
  • Specialisation in International Marketing Management
  • Examination regulations, module handbook & study plan

A large number of German companies are active on international markets and, conversely, Germany is an important sales market for many international companies. This specialisation takes a closer look, for example, at how consumers behave in international markets or which international marketing decisions should be made and how. This is covered in the modules

International Marketing Strategy, Customer Behaviour with Intercultural Aspects, International Market Research and International Customer Relationship Management.

Business administration modules such as Human Resource Management, Strategic Management or Project and Process Controlling prepare students for working in management positions.

Prerequisites for the programme include a very good command of English (according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, level B2), as some of the teaching material is written in English. The language of instruction is German. Two of the four specialisation modules are in English. Final module examinations are also written in English.
