International Business Development M.Sc.

+++ Submit your application now for the 2026/27 winter semester +++

Do you want to qualify for future challenges and exciting tasks in management and ensure that your career doesn't get stuck? The development of new business areas has established itself as a future-orientated "Business Development" task profile with the aim of further developing the business, particularly in sales. This Master's degree programme takes this future-oriented task profile and goes far beyond it - in the sense of next-level business development:

  • You will be prepared for current and as yet unknown business challenges in all areas of the company.
  • Internationality is not only analysed and shaped from an overarching, global strategy, but also designed taking into account specific regional framework conditions and concrete local circumstances: think global and regional - act local!
  • In addition to interdisciplinary concepts, specialised and sector-specific approaches are also taught.

A flexible and future-oriented study programme

A future-oriented, international Master's degree programme requires a flexible curriculum and individual freedom of design.
Our new M.Sc. International Business Development programme allows you to deepen your knowledge, close gaps and develop your career in a crisis-proof manner: you will learn to combine global strategies with regional requirements and translate them into local solutions with a down-to-earth approach - a unique combination of

  • Unrivalled breadth and flexibility of the courses on offer
  • a pleasant study atmosphere with consistent practical relevance
  • Combination of foresight with a down-to-earth approach and adaptability
