International excursions and teaching formats

For many years, joint seminars have been organized together with foreign university partners. This applies equally to Bachelor's and Master's degree programs, as the following examples show:

• Intern. Tourism Management B.A.: joint seminar with Universidade de Vigo, Spain.
• Business Administration B.A.: joint project with Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, Finland, and University of Economics Katowice, Poland.
• International Management M.A.: joint specialist module and business simulation with École de Management Normandie, France.
• Supply Chain Management, M.Sc.: joint project seminar with ISEG School of Economics and Management, Portugal.

Since 2003, the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics has been organizing joint Spring and Summer Academies in cooperation with the ASKO EUROPA-STIFTUNG and the Europäische Akademie Otzenhausen. As part of the European Summer Academies, foreign and German students study together for 5-10 days at the Europäische Akademie Otzenhausen. The Spring Academy focuses on a 10-12-day study excursion by htw saar students to a foreign overseas partner university, most recently in 2019 at the University TECNOLOGICO DE MONTERREY, Mexico. The Spring and Summer Academies are also financially supported by the ASKO EUROPA-STIFTUNG.
