International Business & Digital Management (B.A.)
Full-time course of study for managers of tomorrow
Being successful as a manager means being conversant in business and having a good grasp of digital processes necessary in the global business environment. In the modern business world, one is unthinkable without the other. Our study course combining business administration and information technology provides future managers with a wide range of skills that are indispensable to company management.
The FHDW bachelor in International Business and Digital Management trains essential skills for international leaders: business know-how, analytical thinking, international communication skills and adds a solid overview of digital technologies to the blend.
Our teaching approach is hands-on and oriented to the real world of business. FHDW is one of the developers and one of the first universities to successfully implement the system of joint education, combining theoretical with practical experience in companies in the form of internships. Company internships are an obligatory part of the course. All of our professors have backgrounds in business, some own companies, and are able to offer our students insights into the real life and challenges of companies. FHDW takes teaching out of the world of the ivory tower and to the cutting edge of theory and business.
