About the programme
International management is about understanding how businesses operate across borders and cultures. In today’s interconnected world, organisations need leaders who can manage people, markets, and strategies on a global scale. This programme gives you the knowledge and practical skills to navigate international business environments and prepares you for a truly global career.
In the first year, you will build a broad foundation in business, economics, and statistics, studying core subjects such as organisation, finance, marketing, accounting, micro- and macroeconomics, sustainability, and entrepreneurship. This base helps you see management as an integral part of the overall business strategy.
From your second year, you will specialise in international management through courses covering topics such as entrepreneurship and innovation, leadership, change, strategy, international marketing, and supply chain management. Future-oriented themes such as digitalisation, AI, and responsible leadership run throughout the programme, preparing you to lead effectively in a complex and evolving world.
