Bachelor's Degree with specialisation in International Management: Business without Borders
The Bachelor specialisation in International Management is aimed at students who would like to study management with a strong international and media focus at Germany’s largest private university specialised in media, design and management.
Globalisation and the speed of information in the 21st century have increasingly challenged established companies in regards to their processes and the way they have been operating. From the manufacturers, retailers, service providers to the consumers – old structures have more than once been turned upside down. The big economic crisis of 2008 has shown how quickly entire countries can slip into a recession. Modern and cross skilled management skills (T-shaped qualifications) have become vital in today’s internationalised economy where media and the speed of communication have become as important as the fundamentals of good business administration.
