You have the opportunity to choose between two specialisations:
  • Leadership and Management Studies
    explores the cultural complexity, organisational dynamics and global challenges of international business, and their implications for management practice.
  • Business and Development Studies
    focuses on the strategic challenges of business activity in developing countries and emerging markets, and their implications for management practice.
In addition to linking academic knowledge to management practice, both concentrations provide a systematic focus on research methods, and on improving writing skills in academic English.
You also develop your oral communication skills in Chinese, French, German, Japanese or Spanish. The integrated courses, which are conducted in your chosen language, focus on selected themes relevant for the two concentrations and for the regional language context in question.
A Collaborative and Flexible Learning Environment
The programme is highly international with students from all over the world.
As such, it is in itself an intercultural experience. You become a part of a collaborative and dynamic learning environment, which stresses both teamwork and individual efforts. The distinguished international faculty will work closely together with you to develop your potential.

• methods for analysing and understanding the dynamics of international business and management practices
• skills in project management methodologies and practices
