International Business - International Guest Students

The dynamics of business have rarely been as strong as at present: global competition determines the markets, while goods, services and information are exchanged via world-wide networks. Hamburg is one of the most dynamic business centres in Europe and is home to many international companies. It is an international port and Asia's gateway to Europe. It is also the third largest centre for civil aviation after Seattle and Toulouse and Airbus is a major business engine for the city.

The Department of Business prepares its students for a global economy and offers the following modules in English:

• International Economics
• International Economic Law (starting March 2011)
• International Finance
• International Human Resource Management/Change management 
• International Logistics
