Programme

The internationalization of business leads to a demand for new skills. The modern international manager must be able to deal efficiently with various business environments and a whole set of new issues that arise directly from doing business internationally. This one-semester course provides participants with a sound foundation in international management.

During the course, students adapt their previous business know-how to an international context and are introduced to new aspects that arise directly from international operations. The learning experience is greatly enhanced by the multinational faculty.

We consistently adapt our academic program to your requirements – to your prior knowledge, your demands, your professional situation and your prospects. The Applied World Affairs Modules explore the nexus of states, markets and global trends. The module concludes with the Master Thesis, which is a supervised, problem-oriented or theoretical project.

The Business Forum of Kalaidos University

The Platform for Current Topics
During regular studies, it isn’t always possible to deal with themes of special topical interest in great depth. For this reason, Kalaidos University of Applied Sciences organizes a Business Forum during each semester. For two days, acknowledged experts give lectures on four sets of topics of current interest, which all have a common overarching motto. In 16 events, various – frequently controversial – aspects of a current issue are examined. Adopting the principle ‚From the global to the personal’, four lectures each on a thematic block will identify global trends, consider their transfer and implementation at corporate level, present expert opinions and discuss the implications for a students’ personal work.

The Business Forum is aimed at students of Kalaidos University of Applied Sciences, at former students, and at interested executives from all sectors and company sizes. It is therefore more than just a teaching event: It offers an opportunity for networking and interesting discussions with personalities from the fields business, politics, social science and humanities.
