Master Program in Business Studies with an International Focus

This is a one-year programme from which students graduate with a Degree of Master of Science (60 credits) in Business and Economics, Main Field of Study: Business Administration and Management. Within the subject Business Administration and Management, students can choose between the three above-mentioned specialisations. In the first semester of the programme, students take three research-related courses. The first two courses (Corporate Social Responsibility in an International Perspective and Knowledge Management) are obligatory for all students. After these two courses, students choose an elective specialisation course: International Business and Marketing or Accounting and Control in Global Enterprises or Studies of International Human Resource Management. In preparation for the upcoming thesis project, students will take a course in research design and methodology during the spring semester, where the focus will be on how to conduct a literature review; on understanding the underlying scientific theories of Business Administration; and on immersion in the various research methods and strategies relevant for a thesis. The programme ends with a master thesis in which students independently work with frames of reference, data collection, processing and presentation of data.
