This English-language programme is right for everyone with a Bachelor’s degree in a non-business field who wishes to gain additional economic expertise or switch to a management career. The programme provides a broad portfolio of economic and management skills as well as important intercultural and interdisciplinary knowledge. After graduation, you will have many career prospects in all economic sectors and in non-economic fields.
