International Management (Master of Arts) at a glance
The Master's in International Management (MAIM) is a two-year postgraduate programme that is accredited by FIBBA and internationally recognised.
The programme is taught entirely in English and is designed for talented and ambitious students with a first degree in business studies who are seeking managerial positions for their future professional careers. The M.A. programme builds on the student‘s broad general understanding of the field and offers them the chance to acquire a more specialized advanced qualification that prepares them for high-level management positions in an international business environment
The intercultural and language skills of the students, which are particularly expected in internationally operating companies/organisations/institutions, form the profile of the programme. Furthermore, students should be enabled to think critically and to act freely, responsibly, democratically and socially. In addition to sound knowledge in the central management areas, students should gain a deep insight into theoretical approaches and relevant research results. Graduates should thus be able to meet the constantly changing requirements of internationally operating companies and to be able to shape their own future.
