International MBA (Dual Degree): Focus Sustainable Risk Management Bremen University of Applied Sciences

Graduates of the International MBA are awarded two degrees after studying 18 months in two countries with classmates from all over the globe.

This programme goes beyond simply addressing trade issues between countries by encouraging critical analysis of what makes a business competitive in the international arena. It provides a unique learning experience based upon students' needs and graduates' opportunities.

In the first semester, students study the core modules of the dual degree programme either at one of our partner universities of the International Business School Alliance (IBSA) or with us. For the specialisation and the Master's thesis, they move to a second IBSA university and country (see list above). The core modules are identical at each partner university:

• Management in the Global Environment / Global Strategic Analysis
• Global Marketing Strategies
• Multinational Financial Management
• Human Resource Management in a Global Environment
• Business Analytics

For the second and third semesters, students can choose the Sustainable Risk Management specialisation at ESSCA School of Management in Paris, France.

The specialisation combines the study of international management and topics related to sustainable practices in a globalised environment and provides the students with working knowledge and practical tools necessary in addressing and taking a lead on various social, economic, technological, and environmental issues.

The specialisation is designed to educate students to become responsible business leaders. They will be able to apply sustainability-related knowledge in the formulation of responsible business practices and ethical management of people in organisations.

Given that this is a one-year, full-time Master's programme with an intense study period and high workload, it is advisable not to work during the course of study. (In general, students from European Union countries are not required to have a work permit to work during their course of study. Students from countries outside the European Union may work 120 full days or 240 half days over the course of one year without a work permit. A special permit is required to work more than that.)
