Programme

The MA International Business & Intercultural Management is a multidisciplinary Master Programme that has been created by the university's Business Faculties in close consultation with business, industry and the professions and in response to a challenging and rapidly developing organisational environment.

The MA International Business & Intercultural Management offers a series of benefits and assets:
  • a clearly structured, time-efficient schedule
  • multidisciplinary contents
  • innovative teaching and learning techniques
  • integrated fieldwork and business projects
  • lectures delivered exclusively in English
  • a favourable student-lecturer ratio
  • an international learning environment
  • sustained teaching quality by systematic student appraisal.

Target audience

The MA International Business & Intercultural Management is dedicated to qualifying first degree graduates for management positions in globally operating organisations. It is intended to equip future business leaders with the subject knowledge and the methodological, interpersonal and intercultural competencies which will enable them to (inter)act appropriately and responsibly in a diverse environment.

Emphasis/Curriculum

The MA International Business & Intercultural Management comprises three major stages.

The programme starts with an induction period, during which the students assess their current level of subject knowledge by participating in a Business Simulation game. The foundation stage in semester 1 familiarizes them with the fundamental issues of Intercultural Management as well as Business Management and its international aspects.

Semester 2 offers advanced studies. Taking a cross-disciplinary approach, this phase provides an opportunity to deepen the participants’ expertise in Business Management and Research Methodology. In addition, the students specialize in the following cultural areas:
  • Asia Pacific
  • Arab World
  • Europe.
Semester 3 has been earmarked as the thesis stage. The Master Thesis requires in-depth empirical research in the student's chosen area. Ideally, the thesis is based on real situations in international companies or organisations.

Teaching and learning strategies

Teaching and learning on the Master Programme are based on three key components:

During the programme, students experience a period of intensive independent studies. This allows them to progress at a speed suited to their individual needs and to work on their own initiative in areas which are of interest and value to them. Some more specific objectives of this approach are:
  • to introduce the students to the techniques of researching, organizing and presenting the results of their work,
  • to stimulate critical thinking and logical analysis,
  • and to develop a sense of responsibility for attaining their goals.
The course content is founded on a sound theoretical basis and includes experience-based and practical forms of learning such as guided business simulations, case studies, project work and role plays.
A tutorial support service is offered for students on both an individual and a group basis.
