Effective communication is key in international business. Therefore, the International Business Management program also offers several courses on intercultural communication as well as the possibility to learn a new foreign language (for example German as a foreign language, Italian, Russian or Slovene).
In order to foster internationality, we offer the possibility to take the forth semester at one of our partner universities around the globe.
