International Business

The objective of the program is to provide students with competences and tools to analyze, plan, manage and work for international organizations. The program transforms students' understanding, values and knowledge of doing business in different markets, cultures, political and legal environments.

As a discipline, International Business focuses on the following key areas:

  • global strategy of large and mature multinationals
  • management of network
  • specific characteristics of different regions such as Asia, Europe, the Baltics and countries such as Russia

International Business courses utilize various teaching methods such as cases, teamwork, real-life company projects, and computer-assisted techniques. Our courses are highly interactive and parcipative in nature and include intensive courses as well as courses lasting a whole period or semester. The faculty has a long tradition of utilizing distinguished visiting professors from foreign universities in teaching.

Our graduates typically start in challenging positions in consulting firms, multinational companies or international organizations. Typical entry level jobs include Analyst, Junior Consultant, Sales Manager, Area Manager, or HR Specialist.
