Programme

The Department of Economics I (Business Administration) at the HTW, the largest University of Applied Sciences in Berlin, offers an 18-month full-time Masters degree in International Business (MIB). MIB, which is taught entirely in English, prepares its students for a career in multinational companies. The Berlin Senate has approved the changes in the MIB programme. It is now part of a bachelor-master dual degree system and lasts 18 months.

Target audience

The programme is directed at students with a background in business or economics. Its major objective is to help students supplement or extend their professional and academic knowledge in the field of international business.

The programme seeks to achieve the following goals:

To prepare the students for challenging positions in various areas of international management or research. The necessary skills will be taught in a context with globalisation and European integration.

Along with courses related to international business several extracurricular courses will also be taught. The cognitive methods will help in developing the problem solving competences in the interdisciplinary context.

To foster a better understanding of different cultures and hone the skills required for successful intercultural communication.

MIB was accredited by the Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation (FIBAA) in June 2002.

Organisation

The HTW is Berlins largest University of Applied Sciences. Here 8,000 students train for their future jobs in technology, economics, computing, arts and design. The extraordinarily diverse offerings cover traditional subjects such as engineering, vehicle mechanics and technology, and business administration as well as more contemporary subjects, like environmental engineering/regenerative energies, business law and international multimedia computing. Most students are still taught traditionally (i.e. in the classroom), however, correspondence and distance learning courses are steadily increasing in importance.

Most students graduate in the areas of technology, economics, computing, art and design with the standard diploma, although a growing number now leave with a BA or MA. The FHTW Berlin has begun to replace a strictly formal curriculum with more flexible teaching units in order to increase our students scope for selection and specialisation within the framework of internationally recognised qualifications. The syllabi consider the most recent scientific know-how and the current demands of the labour market. The FHTW Berlin runs courses in foreign languages and offers additional events such as seminars in rhetoric and planning games. Practical projects help FHTW graduates prepare to work in teams and to acquire social and communication skills. Special mention should be made of the excellent foreign language programmes as well as the comprehensive teaching program on founding and setting up new companies and management.

The FHTW Berlin also co-operates with over one hundred universities all over the world. Supported by a variety of promotion programmes, a growing number of students spend time in other universities within the European Union as well as in Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, and the USA.

Study in Berlin

Berlin is a city of constant change. Nobody ever stands still and nothing ever stays the same. Turn your attention elsewhere for too long and the city will have evolved right under your feet. The city was always on the cutting edge (Berlin is the birthplace of cabaret and techno, the one-time residence of Bauhaus, Bertolt Brecht and David Bowie), but since 1989 and the fall of the Berlin Wall, Berlin has become the largest site of new development in Europe. Never before has such a large city had the opportunity to recreate itself. And Berlin is certainly taking to the task quite admirably. Whether it is the glamour and glitz of the Sony Centre on Potsdamer Platz, Daniel Libeskinds new Jewish Museum, the hip cafes in Prenzlauer Berg, or the refined elegance of the newly founded diplomatic quarter, status quo is now very unfashionable in Berlin.

Berlins future definitely looks bright. The Federal Government has nearly completed its move from Bonn and the vast amount of federal money poured into the city to prepare it for the governments arrival is starting to yield results. Tourists are starting to take notice as well - with more and more international visitors making the rounds to the most important sights.

An extremely multi-cultural city of almost 4 million people - with the cultural resources to match - there is almost always something going on in Berlin. Whether you are into art museums, cinema, theatre, opera, discos or the café scene, there is certain to be something here to fit your tastes. And if you are more of an outdoors person, then never fear, because Berlin is one of the greenest cities in Europe - even within the city limits, you will find a spot where you can get away from it all.

Berlin also has one of the largest (and most diverse) student populations in Germany. The more than 100,000 students who call the city home only make it more future-oriented. As the European Union expands eastward, Berlin stands poised to take a very central position on the Continent. Now is certainly a good time to say: "Ich bin ein Berliner."
