Teaching Methods

The core educational belief behind the Master of International Business study program is that the study experience itself is of central importance. Therefore, in subjects where it is feasible, courses will be designed to actively involve students and develop their team skills. Only a small number of classes follow the pattern of the traditional lecturer-centric style. Some examples of the innovative teaching include:

•In the first semester, the "Principles of Economics" and "Principles of Business Law" are primarily problem-oriented courses. The textbooks will be used as supplemental knowledge resources for learning problems. Real cases from the practice of business management and economics are fully utilized.

• The "International Human Resource Management" course evaluation consists mainly of a team presentation on current, real-life HR topics, as well as a final individual oral presentation to the professor.

• The entire topic of International Economics (Module 5) is part of a negotiation simulation in which student groups will represent individual countries and interest groups, whereupon a fictitious conflict situation must be resolved. The lecturers will act not as teachers, but as consultants whose limited time must be managed carefully.
