Course content and objectives
The Bachelor's program in International Business is a modern, future-oriented economics education in Business Studies. The program is structured in a six-semester study period with mainly compulsory courses in English. An 18-week internship is also mandatory after the fifth semester including the Bachelor's thesis and Bachelor's colloquium.
The International Business degree program prepares students thoroughly for a - mainly commercial - career: Industry, services, trade, banks, insurance companies and administrations are potential employers in Germany and abroad.
The focus is on business management basics and methodological knowledge as well as international aspects. The program also includes intensive training in German as a foreign language, the acquisition of intercultural skills and the development of the corresponding communication skills.

The degree program
Why International Business?
Today, an increasing number of international companies and organizations expect far more from their applicants than excellent specialist knowledge. They are looking for graduates who have dared to look beyond their own horizons and have been able to gain experience abroad during their studies, and have above-average language skills.
The degree program in International Business is the ticket to an international stage of life which will provide students with an excellent preparation for their working life both at home and abroad. The special feature of this program is a one-year stay abroad at one of our worldwide partner institutions - e.g., in South Africa, New Zealand, Argentina, Finland, Poland, France, Russia, Belgium or Spain.
After the 1st to 4th semesters at the Bernburg Campus, all students within the English, French, Russian or Spanish language branches will have the opportunity to study abroad for one year.
Graduates of the International Business program are optimally prepared for a future career at home and abroad and following graduation, they will often have the opportunity to enter a master’s degree program abroad.
