Overview

This Tricontinental Master in Global Studies programme from Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences has for its distinctive feature the batch of international students who change locations as a group for every semester. The first semester is spent in Karlsruhe, the second in Taichung/Taiwan and the third in Monterrey/Mexico. In the fourth semester, the master's thesis is written, preferably in cooperation with an internationally active company or organization. For this, students are free to choose their location.

You will not only gain experience abroad but also gain a high level of intercultural competence, as you will continuously study together with your fellow students from Taiwan and Mexico (and possibly other nationalities). Common language, also for instruction, will be English.

This interdisciplinary and practice-oriented program is aimed at graduates who gained their first university degree in business studies and who are interested in international and intercultural issues. Business administration and economics as well as aspects of legal science, cultural science and political science are combined with extensive methodological knowledge.

Who is the program aimed at?

We are looking for applicants with a first degree in economics who are interested in international and intercultural issues. The study program will qualify you for a management position in international companies or organizations as well as, if you are interested, for a doctorate.
