Our full-time programme specialisations are particularly suitable for young professionals who have already gained a minimum of three years of post-graduate work experience and wish to strengthen their leadership skills to prepare thoroughly for international management positions.

Specialisations:
  • European Management
  • European-Asian Management
  • Transatlantic Management

The programme offers a course of studies directly concerned with the core issues for companies working in an international business environment. Students analyse the political, legal, cultural and economic environment of European, European-Asian and transatlantic businesses, evaluate their markets in terms of procurement, finance and sales and draft new strategies for international competition.
The programme is divided into three stages covering the modules of Managerial Finance, Strategy and Managerial Economics, Human Resource and Information Management, Marketing, Production and Organisation.
The first stage focuses on providing students with basic management skills. The second stage then concentrates on international issues. Finally, the third stage offers the chance to apply the methods learned in a "Company Project". Soft skills training including career coaching as well as international study visits, guest lectures and company visits are integral parts of the programme.
