International Business Administration

Are you interested in a demanding business degree which, thanks to its decidedly international orientation, gives you the opportunity to take on challenging tasks in international business? Are you thinking of supplementing your professional activities with a job abroad and are you looking for a course that not only offers you specific business training, but also provides the necessary intercultural and linguistic skills?

The course in International Business Administration takes these requirements of the internationally active economy into account, through the concept of well-founded, internationally-oriented teaching, the acquisition of at least two foreign business languages and a compulsory study abroad.

As a sub-discipline of economics, business administration deals with the economic activity of companies, ie with those processes that take place in companies and lead from them to other market players as well as to the macroeconomic, social, political, legal, technological and ecological environment . The scientific goal of business administration is to capture these processes empirically and to find explanations that are as general as possible from which practical recommendations for action can be derived. The representatives of Bamberg's business administration also feel connected to this goal.

With the course "International Business Administration" a further sharpening of the profile of Bamberg Business Administration towards a global orientation is achieved. At the Bachelor's and Master's level, the course focuses on the requirements of an internationally networked economy and work in a global organization.

The development of the world economy is characterized by increased global integration and intense competition. For graduates, this results in the need to adapt to these new requirements through diverse language skills, intercultural skills and a specific, university education in economics.

In the "International Business Administration" course, this development is taken into account through well-founded teaching in the sub-areas of economics and foreign languages. In addition to qualified basic training, the course can be deepened in specific subject areas. This can be done according to interests, talents and professional goals. Students can also orientate their studies on an interdisciplinary basis in order to set up their economic profile across a broad spectrum.
