- Description/content
- International Business and Technology (IBT) is a unique study combination of International Business, a technical specialisation (Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Natural Sciences), and two languages. After completing the regular study period of seven semesters (210 ECTS), students will have gained extensive knowledge of international business as well as knowledge in their field of specialisation. They will also have acquired transdisciplinary competencies.
The programme is bilingual. In the first two semesters, the courses are held in English. From the third semester onwards, students choose a technical specialisation, which can be either Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Natural Sciences. The language of instruction will be German.
In addition to the regular seven-semester International Business and Technology programme, we offer an eight-semester study option called International Business and Technology Plus (IBT Plus). This study option includes one compulsory year abroad, which consists of a 20-week international internship and a study semester at one of our partner universities. It is especially fitting for students who want to give the international component of their studies more importance.
The International Business and Technology programme offers a double degree with "Chinesisch Deutsche Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften" (CDHAW)/ Tongji University, Shanghai, China.
Graduates may work in a wide variety of positions located at the intersection of business and technology, for example, in industrial engineering.
