For this specialisation in our Master's programme in Business Administration, two specific double degree Master's programmes in International Business Administration have been developed, in which students have the opportunity to receive the Master of Science (MSc in Business Administration) academic degree from the KU's Ingolstadt School of Management (WFI) and a postgraduate degree conferred by Toulouse Business School (TBS) or Rajagiri Business School (RBS) respectively.
Students are educated to fulfil management and specialist tasks in a national and international environment in a responsible, socially and professionally competent manner. In addition, students develop an understanding of other cultures and intercultural issues and contexts.
Two of the four semesters are spent at KU's Ingolstadt School of Management (WFI), and the other two are spent in either France (Toulouse Business School) or Spain (Toulouse Business School) or at the Rajagiri Business School in India.
In Ingolstadt, students choose modules from the following areas of specialisation:
At the partner university, students must complete at least 30 ECTS credits in two trimesters. These can be obtained by taking modules in two specialisations. These include Marketing, Finance, Business Intelligence, Operations and HR.
The Master's thesis is supervised by representatives of the respective universities. Specific regulations may apply depending on the chosen partner university.
The programme includes mandatory modules, mandatory electives, and elective modules. The six required modules can be chosen from the mandatory modules of the following other specialisations of the Master's programme in Business Administration: Market-Oriented Corporate Management; Finance, Accounting, Controlling and Taxation; Entrepreneurship & Innovation; Business Analytics & Operations Research; and Digital Customer Experience & Service Design; including one module in ethics. They are offered during the first two semesters in addition to six elective modules that need to be chosen from the list of elective modules in the five areas of specialisation mentioned.
After the students have completed the first two semesters, they take their elective modules at the partner university. At Rajagiri Business School, they can choose freely from all Master's-level modules covered under the cooperation agreement before writing their Master's thesis. At TBS, students can choose among a wide range of specialisations ("Professional Expertise") and will study in Toulouse, Paris, or Barcelona, depending on their elected field. In addition to the Professional Expertise courses, the programme consists of a TOEIC test in English, a soft skills certificate, a consulting mission, an internship, and a Master's thesis.
All required courses are taught completely in English. In the required electives and elective modules, students can choose modules in German or English. Moreover, some of the Professional Expertise tracks are bilingual, with courses in English and French.
