GLOBAL ECONOMIC MARKETS

Though economic markets are becoming increasingly integrated, the integration is far from complete. Instead, firms have to deal with the complex situation of semiglobalisation, where barriers to market integration are significant but not strong enough to insulate markets entirely from one another. Accordingly, today's firms can neither neglect the barriers nor the links among economic markets. The MSc in International Business deals with firm internationalisation and the challenges of navigating in a semiglobalised world.

In the first year, the programme addresses the critical concepts of internationalisation, organisation, and management of foreign operations to familiarise the student with the challenges of economic globalisation and how to handle them. The emergence of global enterprises, emerging markets, global sourcing, the development of intercultural competencies, and the organisation of multinational corporations are covered, alongside the analytical tools necessary to research these topics. In the third semester, you can choose elective courses at Aarhus University, AU Summer University, or (as an exchange student) at one of three hundred partner universities abroad. You also can combine electives with an internship to strengthen your practical skill-set. Finally, the fourth semester is devoted to the master’s thesis.

Consequently, today’s firms have to be able to adapt
