Study plan
Internationality during your studies
An exchange semester and the consolidation of a foreign language ensure a special international focus. Study during your fifth semester at one of our 200 partner universities worldwide or organize your studies abroad independently as a “Freemover”. Through the integrated exchange semester you broaden your academic and cultural horizon without prolonging the duration of your studies.
If you would like to spent more than one semester abroad, there are two other options: the IBEA study option with exchange stops at partner universities in Brazil, USA and Singapore or our double degree program with the Guanghua School of Management at the Peking University.
