In order to be well received wherever you go, you can perfect your English language skills by taking the Bachelor of International Business Study Program in two languages (70% German, 30% English) or completely in English. Seize this opportunity!
If you love the challenge of studying bilingual German/English, you should choose the Bilingual Track. You will get to know technical terms in both languages and thus prepare yourself optimally for a future in both the German-speaking and the international business world.

The track offers international students without any knowledge of German the opportunity to learn German as a foreign language and thus become familiar with the German-speaking culture.
Our Bachelor International Business is distinguished by its compact structure. It comprises six or seven study semesters and a bachelor thesis. You will put your theoretical knowledge into practice and expand your international network during three or more internships in Germany or abroad as well as one or two semesters abroad.

Language is the key: Regarding languages, you can choose between Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Spanish and French, whereas if you start your studies in February you can choose between Chinese and Spanish. Courses on the culture and economy of your international focus are also part of the program.
Semester 4 - 6: Becoming acquainted with the refinements of international business studies
The second half of your studies for the Bachelor International Business will be devoted to lectures on the particularities of international economics. In addition, you will choose two areas of concentration and individual electives with which you will deepen your academic knowledge and enhance your personal profile.

Munich Business School not only wants to provide its students with sound specialist knowledge in the field of business administration, but also to educate cosmopolitan and responsible personalities. Social commitment is therefore also reflected in the study curricula of Munich Business School. As a student of the Bachelor International Business you will carry out a social project in cooperation with a social institution and become involved in a non-profit organization. Extra-curricular activities in the social and university environment are also included in the study program.
The start of studies brings with it many changes and often presents young students with great challenges: Living alone for the first time, finding their way around in a new city, a sometimes heavy workload with reduced leisure time, a changed social environment - many factors influence the first few months.
In order to better cope with this difficult initial phase, Munich Business School has developed a Student Coaching Program for bachelor students. Within the framework of this program, interested students are assigned a so-called student coach for the first two semesters, who provides individual support and helps them with their personal questions. The Student Coach receives special training in advance from a senior business coach with many years of experience and is trained to give students "help to help themselves" and support them in their personal development. The aim is to consolidate the students' personality, develop their ability for self-reflection and strengthen them for their individual path.
A decisive factor for learning success is the optimal transfer of knowledge. Interaction in small classes with innovative learning formats is therefore the focus at MBS. All courses include exercises so that the application of knowledge is always immediate. There are no pure lectures. The students benefit from a variety of formats such as
