INT offers programs at different levels:
Bachelor of Science in International Business (HA-level)
|
The Bachelor of Science in International Business familiarizes students with international business and economics principles, so they can solve the complex problems they will meet as employees in multinational companies.
The program covers various aspects - from theory to strategy - through the use of the scientific disciplines within a variety of different research areas. Along the way, students will learn about the basic elements and functions within international business companies, and the dynamic relationship between external and internal elements.
The International Business program has several courses in basic business education. The three main course categories are: methods, economics, and management. While this categorization is also true of most of CBS’ programs, there are several aspects, which are different from the other bachelor programs. Mainly, the focus is on International Business, i.e. on doing business abroad. This focus is exemplified by the fact that the IB program starts and finishes with two fundamental courses, namely: International Business Environment and International Business Strategy. While the first describes the variety of the issues that an international business faces, the latter analyses the strategic choices to be made. In between, the program offers courses that give a thorough grounding in several issues, from Accounting to Corporate Finance and from Intercultural Corporate Communication to Global Supply Management.

The MSc IB focuses on the multinational firm, and examines the strategic choices these firms need to make to compete in the global economy.

The program highlights the specific challenges associated with managing multinational corporations in markets that are explicitly international and increasingly interdependent.
International Business is a program that explicitly focuses on creating a cross-disciplinary understanding to its subject matter.
The department offers a series of electives both at the bachelor and master levels. The electives can be found at the web-sites of the study programs.
Internship/Mini Consultancy Project in International Entrepreneurship
|
The aim of the program is not only to provide participants with a greater analytical understanding for the processes and management challenges associated with the strategic management of innovation and growth in entrepreneurial new ventures in high technology industries. It also exposes students to the challenge and experience of hands-on practical application. The internship and project work engage participants in a team driven process comprising the company, a faculty advisor and the graduate student. Its aim is to combine a depth of practical application with the latest management techniques and to deliver solutions to a real business issue.
In the course, students work part-time as interns in selected high technology start-up firms, where they complete a mini-consultancy report on a business problem of strategic importance. Each project is defined in cooperation between the student, an assigned company mentor and an academic supervisor from CBS. The aim is to define and successfully complete projects with an optimal mix of theory and practical application that holds to academic scrutiny while meeting the practical business needs of the company. The internship is accompanied by a series of lectures and seminars, focusing on the problems and opportunities facing start-up businesses in high technology areas.
