Introduction
The key features of International Business Studies are a strong orientation toward real-life topics and a problem-solving approach, the development of an entrepreneurial mindset, and the growth of analytical and communication skills.
- Real-life business. An International Business program has a strong orientation towards real-life – real business stories and problems, real hunting for the best solutions.
- Intercultural environment. 2/3 of your fellow students come from all over the world. It is a great start to your international network.
- Dynamic learning. Here you will get not only knowledge but also essential skills from experienced lecturers and business leaders. Weekly class time is typically divided into formal lectures and seminars or tutorials.
The modular International Business program is designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and competencies they need to establish, develop, and expand a business under uncertainty through a step-by-step approach.
Key strengths of this study program include:

- A modular structure that allows for flexibility and customization of the learning experience.
- Problem-based learning (PBL), which allows students to apply the concepts and skills they have learned in a practical and relevant context.
- A focus on sustainable entrepreneurship, which helps students understand the importance of social and environmental responsibility in the business world.
- The opportunity for personalization of study through the ability to choose elective courses and tailor the program to individual interests and goals.
One of the unique features of this program is the incorporation of problem-based projects in the core business creation modules each semester. These modules include entrepreneurship management, sustainable economics, entrepreneurship research, entrepreneurship, and project and business process management. This approach allows students to apply the concepts and skills they have learned in a practical and relevant context, helping them to better understand and retain the study material.
Additionally, students can choose:
- The enrol in a double degree and study for 2 years in a partner university.
