International Management & Economics - BSc in Business Administration

Das Studium

The rapidly growing transnational and even global inter- dependence in many areas of life requires businesses and organisations to adopt an increasingly broad perspective in terms of attitudes, practices and policies. The BA IM+E (Bachelor with International Management and Economics) is the answer to this challenge. Students will acquire both a solid basis in general management and economics (120 ECTS credits) and a truly international perspective in the focus programme (60 ECTS credits).

The Focus Programme in International Management + and Economics at the Lucerne School of Business uses a unique approach not otherwise found at Swiss Universities of Applied Sciences. Through its dual focus on the (internal) management perspective and on the economic environment it enhances students' perception of how international business operates and which external factors are crucial in order to achieve success. Students will be able to sharpen their awareness and understanding of cultural diversity and learn how to act responsibly and successfully across cultures. The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with International Management + Economics is a full-time six-semester course. Tuition (with the exception of non-English language-learning units) takes place entirely in English.
