International Business Project

Teaching methods Seminar
Learning target / Competences

Students develop the ability to analyze, plan and implement strategic issues by linking methods and subject sciences. They know the advantages and disadvantages of quantitative and qualita­ti­ve methods as well as the methodological differences between different disciplines such as economics, political science and law. In this interdisciplinary context, students are able to com­bine theoretical knowledge and practical experience. Thus, they will be able to implement pro­jects in selected entrepreneurial areas. Through project work in the context of small groups, the students' social competence in particular is promoted in addition to methodological skills.
