International Business and Economics

Overview

Welcome to the accredited 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. We anticipate more than two-thirds of our Master’s students to have an international background and to come from different countries, thus creating an international studying environment here in Schmalkalden. In addition, the modern campus building with state-of-the-art technology, a high level of interaction between students and faculty members, and small groups of students working together provide a learning environment you may not find elsewhere.

In addition, we also offer our best students the opportunity for a dual degree, which can give them access to a Master of Business Administration degree (MBA) at our dual degree partner universities in the United States and Spain as well as access to a Master of Science degree (M.Sc.) at a university in Canada, England and Iceland.
