International Economy
and Business, MSc

This programme offers double degree opportunities. Students can earn the following master’s degrees at our partner universities:

• MA in International Business and Finance – Augsburg University of Applied Sciences (Augsburg, Germany)
• MSc International Business – University of Stirling (Stirling, United Kingdom)

• The English-language version of the International Economy and Business MSc is our most internationally popular programme, and this is partly because it covers one of the broadest fields in economic master’s education, ranging from business disciplines to global economic studies, and from economic approaches to social sciences. Therefore, it is perhaps of no surprise that this programme continuously attracts one of the most diverse student bodies, drawing participants from a wide range of economic and educational backgrounds, including many who have previously studied international studies, communication, and media studies at undergraduate level.Our master’s programme takes an innovative approach to the thesis and final examination system, moving away from traditional methods. During the final two terms, we prepare students to solve industry-specific tasks through professional project-based teaching, and your thesis and final examination will be structured around these practical assignments. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to participate in research projects related to key topics, whether as part of your Student Research Societies work or as a foundation for PhD studies.

  Upon completing the programme, you will receive a degree certifying your qualification as an Economist in International Economy and Business.

  The International Economy and Business MSc programme is taught at our city centre campus and is also offered full-time in English.

The International Economy and Business MSc provides specialised knowledge in the analysis of global economic processes, as well as insights into regional economic integrations and the operations of major international institutions. You will learn the key elements of international corporate governance and strategy development, as well as market entry, risk management, and investment strategies. In addition, you will acquire the general economic knowledge expected of qualified economists, such as international marketing, logistics, supply chain management, and macro- and microeconomic analysis. A key focus is also competency development and mindset-shaping, particularly in the areas of inter-cultural competencies, analytical skills, and business decision-making.
