Your studies in Global Economics and Business Management begin with an orientation phase.
In the first stage of your studies, you will learn the basics of business administration in seminars with an international focus based on the latest scientific findings. You will also acquire skills in subjects such as economics, digital business fundamentals, operations management, accounting and marketing. From the outset, you will also learn to understand and explain the behavior and interaction of economic actors such as private individuals, companies and the state from an economic perspective. You will learn another foreign language (French, Spanish or Chinese) and your choice of language will also lay the foundation for your later decision on a specific focus region. Personal development as a seminar rounds off the first stage of your studies.
Around half of the courses are taught in English.
Starting in the second stage of the program, classes are taught almost exclusively in English. In the fourth semester, you’ll choose your first area of specialization. You have two options: With the “International Business Operations” specialization, you can flexibly design your own individual profile by combining two modules from different business administration fields—such as marketing, human resource management, controlling & finance, or digital business—or by focusing in depth on one of these areas. This will give you a broad understanding of international business processes and help you develop practical skills for a variety of career paths in globally active companies. With the “Internationalization and Global Markets” track, you’ll gain the ability to evaluate global target markets and develop international growth strategies. You’ll combine economic analysis with strategic thinking, thereby laying the foundation for careers in internationally active companies, institutions, and organizations, as well as at the intersection of business and global markets.
Choosing the second focus area “Global Management and Intercultural Competencies” in the fifth semester allows you to subsequently focus on one world region. This is where you have a chance to focus on a particular region of the world. For this focus area, you will spend one semester studying abroad at one of our partner universities. The partner university can be located in one of three focus regions, depending on the foreign language that you chose in the first degree phase. These regions are: EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa), AMER (North and South America) and APAC (Asia-Pacific, Australia, Oceania). In the sixth semester, you will additionally complete an international placement in a company or institutional organisation, ideally in the same focus region.
After completing the subsequent bachelor’s thesis, you will acquire the academic title of Bachelor of Arts. This will enable you either to embark directly on a career or to go on to take a master’s degree and engage in further specialisation.
The Global Economics and Business Management program starts in the winter term. Application via Hochschulstart (DOSV) is not necessary. You can apply online through the THI's Primuss applicant portal.
Here you'll find more information about applying for the bachelor's program, the admission requirements, and the university's own selection process.
