One of the key advantages of studying European Business Management is the flexibility inherent in the degree programme that allows you to refine and define your study focus, building up a profile that develops and grows as the course progresses. The flexibility already starts in the foundation course where you can choose which language to focus on. It continues with a choice of specializations plus the opportunity to do an interdisciplinary moduleand ends in the choice in the 6th semester of either taking an internship abroad or an exchange semester abroad.
7. Team of dedicated and experienced teachers
As we are a technical university of applied sciences, we value the experience, expertise and dedication of our teachers who bring their valuable knowledge from practice to the courses they teach and give students the benefit of the knowledge they have from their professional careers.
