Introducing the Bachelor’s degree program in International Economic Studies
The Bachelor’s degree program in International Economic Studies (IES) is a perfect start into a professional career as an economist, in business, the public sector or academia. The program provides the students with the essential knowledge for understanding and analyzing the economy and economic policy. The distinct international perspective of the program reflects the growing importance of international economic integration and emphasizes the comparative study of economic policies. The program consists of compulsory and elective modules in a variety of fields, such as International Economics, International Business and International Politics, all of which are conducted in English. The international perspective is complemented by a mandatory semester abroad that is integrated into the curriculum.
The program is designed for high-school graduates interested in economics with an international perspective who are looking for a solid foundation for a professional career in business, government, or international agencies. The program also prepares students to pursue graduate studies in economics, business, or public administration. In order to apply, you need a higher education entrance qualification. This is typically a qualified secondary school diploma, though sufficient professional qualification may serve as a substitute depending on approval by the university. The degree program is taught in English throughout. Therefore, good knowledge of the English language is an essential prerequisite to successfully complete the degree program.
