International Business Administration – (B.A.)

Alumni will be well qualified for management roles with international enterprises and institutions. Students acquire an unusual level of language competencies and intercultural experience. A solid education in core areas such as business administration, macroeconomics and law is complemented by insights into political, legal and economic factors relevant in an international context. Additionally, students will be honing their communication skills and learn how to deal with cultural differences.

The International Bachelor Business Administration - a seven semester programme starting in October 2010 – includes an International Year taught in English as well as a mandatory internship students are encouraged to complete in an international context. At the same time, the programme emphasizes an education in a multinational learning environment. The flexible programme provides a variety of options for German applicants to collaborate and study with students from different countries – by spending the International Year either at home together with incoming students from partner universities or at a partner university abroad. International students, on the other hand, will during their stay in Frankfurt study with German students as well as with incomings from other partner universities. They will all be taught in common English classes instead of being separated into an international English- and a national German-taught track. However, incoming students may also opt to take classes in the same subjects taught in German.

Domestic and international students who successfully pass the International Year and the internship with a host university abroad may be entitled to acquire – in addition to their home university’s Bachelor degree - the Bachelor degree of the host university (Double Degree programme) if such an agreement exists.
