International Management (IM) – Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)

Ready, steady, go! In your first semester, you’ll learn the academic basics that will help you thrive at university. Of course, you’ll also study marketing and microeconomics. Plus, you’ll start your language training in Danish, German, or Spanish, which you’ll continue to the end of semester four.

In the second semester, you’ll learn about  human resources and macroeconomics. You’ll also strengthen your research skills. During a hands-on project, you’ll develop your own business ideas and put them into practice. This will help you to tackle entrepreneurial challenges in a team and boost your communication skills.

How are organizations structured? Which political and cultural factors affect international business? How do working conditions impact people? In your third semester, you’ll explore these questions and more, while sharpening your understanding of academic research.

In Finance, you’ll get to grips with the basics of investment and finance theory. You’ll also deepen your knowledge in the field of work and organizational psychology, and learn about human behavior in organizations.

You’ll also learn how to assess and classify the legal framework for business activities.

If you’re in the Spanish track, you’ll expand your knowledge through electives in international business, economics, political economy, and culture. In the German-Danish track, you’ll explore how culture and communication shape international collaboration.

If you’re thinking about studying abroad, now’s the perfect time. If not, you can pick from a range of electives to tailor your studies.

Almost there. In your final semester, your main focus is your bachelor’s thesis. You’ll also study labor law. If you’re in the Spanish track, you’ll choose two more electives to set your own focus. In the German-Danish track, you’ll sharpen your business English skills for negotiations and international communication.

A Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) is an academic degree and the first university degree. It is primarily awarded in the humanities and social sciences, for subjects such as cultural studies, linguistics, and economics. The word “arts” does not refer to art, but to the humanities and social sciences. A Bachelor of Arts qualifies you for a graduate career or entry to a master’s degree program.

In the unique B.A. IM program at EUF, you can combine business with language and culture — and optionally even earn a German-Danish double degree. This sets you up for excellent career opportunities in Germany and abroad. 

In addition to interesting, practice-orientated courses that you can partly tailor yourself, you’ll benefit from small class sizes, exciting guest lectures, individual support, partnerships with top companies, internships, and an international atmosphere.

You can also take the opportunity to spend an exciting semester abroad. We’re happy to help if you have any questions.

No, studying abroad for a semester is optional. If you want, you can go abroad in the fifth semester of your bachelor’s degree. The EUF International Center will help you plan it. Did you know that EUF has nearly 90 partner universities worldwide? Pick one, and your semester abroad will be funded through the Erasmus+ program — a big relief for many students.

The application and entry requirements depend on the language track you choose.

In the Spanish track, there’s no admission quota — you can just apply. In the German-Danish track, only a limited number of places are available. Instead of the general high school diploma, you can also apply with a subject-specific university entrance qualification.

For both language tracks, you need basic knowledge of the respective language, as well as a good knowledge of German and English. Sounds like a lot? It’ll look impressive on your CV later. Check out the detailed application requirements on the program’s application page.

You need to be able to prove adequate German and English skills, as well as basic knowledge of your chosen language track. You can find the exact language requirements on the program’s application page.

• Yes – that’s called conditional admission. You’ll need to take a free intensive language course with a final test and submit proof by a set deadline, or your admission will be revoked.
• In the German-Danish track, you must attend a free intensive course that ends with a test.
• In the Spanish track, you can also join a free intensive course. You need to pass the Spanish I exam at the end of the first semester.
