International Business: Reutlingen University

Course Description

The International Business (IB) degree programme, unique in Germany, offers students the possibility of acquiring within only four years the degrees Bachelor of Science (BSc) and Master of Business Aministration (MBA) or another Master's degree. Students complete three academic years at Reutlingen University followed by a fourth academic year at one of ten highly-ranked partner universities in America, Asia, Australia or Europe.

The IB degree programme is an academic programme which prepares students for a successful management career in an international enterprise. This requires a clear practical orientation. In each of the 3rd and 6th semesters a six-months internship in a company has to be completed. These provide students with the opportunity to apply their theoretical business management knowledge and soft skills and to extend their comprehension of economic cross links and management tasks.

The IB degree programme provides a broad spectrum of expertise and methods in business studies and enables students at the partner universities to select a special area of concentration - e.g. in management, marketing or finance.
