NEW DOUBLE DEGREE with City University of Seattle

I am very happy to announce that after meeting Svenja from World of Students and Antonio from City University of Seattle at NAFSA: Association of International Educators we are able to offer our MBA students a new DOUBLE DEGREE program!!! Students will only have to complete 8 out of 13 courses such as Global Political Economy; Entrepreneurship and the Art of Creative Thinking or Operations and Technology Management to receive an additional degree & diploma. Students study with very high flexibility either completely on-site in Seattle or online or a combination of both.
Double Degree with SAMK University, Finland

We are looking forward to our updated double degree cooperation with the Finnish Satakunta University of Applied Sciences (SAMK)! In addition to the German MBA degree in International Business Management, students and alumni will receive the Finnish MBA degree in Sustainable Business Management by taking the modules "Leadership and Management" and "Sustainable Issues in Modern Organizations" as well as choosing a third individual module from the program - all completely online! It is great that we will soon be welcoming new Finnish students and we equally recommend this opportunity for our students and graduates to deepen their knowledge in an exciting topic!
