Discover the special dynamics of our Masters International Business in the spring semester! Here's an overview of the key differences that set our spring start apart from our established fall semester:
Over three semesters, the International Business master’s program at Munich Business School with a concentration in International Finance will prepare you for a leadership position in the world of finance. If you have the time, you could even study for a further semester to earn a dual degree. This is a second master’s degree, awarded by one of our international partner universities. You can combine Corporate Finance with a second concentration, such as Corporate Strategy and Innovation. The first two semesters of your studies will be spent at our campus in Munich, as you acquire comprehensive knowledge of finance and accounting. At Munich Business School, we offer interactive lectures squarely focused on practical application. In a series of projects, you will collaborate closely with your classmates and learn to help each member of your team make the most of their individual strengths.
You will then spend your third semester studying abroad at one of our many partner universities. Our colleagues in the International Office would be happy to advise you on which university would be most suitable for your career plans. With more than 60 partner universities across four continents, you are sure to find the right one for you! After your semester abroad, you will write your master’s thesis.
