International Management (M.A.)

Hochschule Niederrhein. Your way.

Short description

A unique feature of the Master's degree programme in International Management, which is taught in English, is the compulsory phase abroad - either a study semester or an internship - for all students in the third semester.

English language skills at level B2 are required, as the degree programme is taught in English throughout.

Although the content of the Master's degree programme is based on the Business Administration and Economics degree programmes offered by the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics at The Hochschule Niederrhein, it is also open to graduates of comparable business administration and economics degree programmes.

By teaching theory-based and application-related content, students are enabled to recognise and analyse processes and problems of business practice in an international environment, to develop economically justified solutions and to take into account extracurricular references.

The programme also aims to develop students' professional, methodological and social skills with a view to their future career opportunities.

After completing their studies, our graduates often take up management positions in an international context. In principle, the Master's degree qualifies students for a doctorate in order to pursue an academic career.
