MSc International Economy

Programme objective

Our International Economy and Business programme aims to train professionals capable of analysing the global world economy, interpreting international trends, and effectively conducting and managing international negotiations. The investment incentive and management profile of the International Economy and Business major ensures that students will acquire thorough, up-to-date knowledge in the preparation and implementation of foreign direct investments (FDI).

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)

We do not advertise specialisations in our programme, but since the training focuses on the topic of investment incentive, students gain in-depth knowledge in the preparation and implementation of foreign direct investments (FDI). Throughout the course of the programme, they will acquire all the relevant knowledge which will enable them to undertake the development of investment strategies (corporate, municipal government), the planning of the establishment of joint ventures, and the conclusion of international contracts.
