Intercultural skills and sound knowledge are decisive for success.

The need for managers with broad horizons and sound knowledge is great. MiBA Master of International Business Administration (MA) imparts both. A two-year program, the MiBA prepares students for challenging work in international management. The MiBA grants a university degree and allows students with above-average grades to pursue a doctorate, laying the foundation for an academic career. The modular course spectrum focuses on three areas: basic understanding, specialization and application. Basic knowledge is imparted in foundational courses. Our goal is to broaden students horizons by providing both business knowledge and insight into the social, political legal and economic conditions of international management. When students specialize, they can choose individual areas to explore in-depth. In the application phase, MiBA students from all over the world are organized into intercultural teams and work jointly with foreign universities on concrete problems in current management. They apply theory and develop intercultural and communication skills as well as get a taste of international leadership. The MiBA is offered in Hamburg and St. Petersburg. In Hamburg, the program is taught in German and English. In St. Petersburg, lectures are held in English only and students receive a double degree from Universitt Hamburg and the renowned State University of Economics and Finance. Cooperation with foreign universities provides MiBA students in Hamburg a host of other opportunities to acquire a double degree.
