What it is

Year one covers management, marketing, accounting, mathematics, economics and business law basics, with an introduction to AI applications. Year two adds corporate finance, business statistics, international finance and economics, international political economy, taxation and marketing research, together with argumentation and persuasion. Later years bring leadership, international financial management, EU law and economics and negotiation, plus electives such as data analysis with Python and business ethics. Project work, one or two semesters of compulsory internship and a thesis make it practice-oriented. Graduates work as business development managers, economic analysts, consultants and trade specialists in international firms.
