The individual European markets, businesses and currencies are growing towards a united Europe. For young adults an international education is an important step towards future Europe. Especially the economics courses offer excellent prospects. Not only production companies, but also the rapidly growing Tertiary Sector (trade, banks, insurance, consultancy) and government need qualified economists in all departments.

International Business Economics

Shareholder Value, Mergers & Acquisitions, Private Equity, Hedge Funds…If you open the political section of a newspaper or listen to the daily news, the significance of the complex modern economy for worldwide politics is very apparent. As it is for everyone. To see through these processes, to understand their meaning and  to take part in them, is a thrilling and promising challenge.

How do I manage an enterprise? Where can I make high profits? How can I keep the costs in control? How do I behave in an international context? Which influence does the international tax law and the worldwide finance- and commerce market have?

When you would like to find the answers to these questions, then our economic study programme International Business Economics (IBE) is the right choice for you!

Enterprises need economical know-how for every department. Many are more interested in all-rounders and not just specialists on narrow fields. A broad education in various functions offers you better professional chances as when you would have been specialised in one field. This is exactly the goal of our study course.
