Master of Arts in International Business

Tomorrow's managers

The requirements placed on applicants are: management skills, the ability to work in teams and capacity for integration, high motivation, multilingualism and excellent expert qualifications. These are the very abilities imparted to you during the Master of Arts degree International Business at the Cologne Business School and they qualify you for demanding positions and tasks at companies. Based on the business studies knowledge gained, you are imparted specialist knowledge in the most varied areas of international business studies. Moreover, you can individually select one of six core subjects:

Modern and up-to-date

The degree programme course takes account of circumstances such as the increasing interweaving of the world economy due to globalisation and the emphasis placed on export within the German economy. Professors with several years' work experience and lecturers with an international background teach the critical business subjects at our university. You study economics topics within an international context in main seminars in all semesters, where you penetrate and process the problems academically, by means of case studies and course work. In the third semester, you have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge in two further elective economics subjects.

Broad qualification

The modules of the degree course in the personal skills area and a further foreign language round off your expert qualification. You can apply the knowledge you have already gained in a domestic or foreign company in practice in an industrial placement lasting eight weeks between the second and third semesters in a domestic or foreign company. The Master of Arts thesis in the fourth semester concludes your studies. During this period, you can complete a facultative semester abroad or – possibly to prepare your Masters' thesis – work in a company. Moreover, the Masters' Degree qualifies you to study for a doctorate.
