Program Details

Welcome to the accredited International Business and Economics  Master’s programme offered by the Faculty of Business and Economics at Schmalkalden University of Applied Sciences. Our Master’s degree programme combines economics and business administration as, in international business, these two fields blur into each other: government policies affect economic decisions; corporate behaviour in turn influences international politics.

With our applied research approach, we are highly committed to being an educational institution of excellence in the fields of business and economics as well as aim at an international group of students.
