Objectives, Duration and Contents of the BIM-Program
Basic Objectives of the BIM-Program
The BIM program has been designed to provide students with the academic qualification and practical skills required for upper positions involving international business management tasks.
The study of business administration is closely linked to the study of two foreign languages (choosing from English, French and Spanish). This ensures that students do not only acquire a profound professional and methodical business education but also the communication skills and cross-cultural experience necessary for future international management posts.
The BIM program integrates the respective business and educational philosophies of all partner countries in a unique course of studies. Thus, BIM meets the theoretical, practical, cross-cultural and personal requirements of a modern international qualification. The BIM students of today will be the international managers of tomorrow.
