The special profile of the International Business Administration degree programme is to be seen in the fact that it fulfils the attribute of internationality both through subject-appropriate, application-oriented teaching content and through international cooperation with foreign universities and companies (compulsory semester abroad or internship abroad). 

The standard period of study is three years. The respective semester hours per week comprise the weekly number of hours for which courses are scheduled within a semester. One weekly semester hour lasts 45 minutes. Two such semester hours per week form a lecture unit of 90 minutes each. On average, the compulsory courses within a semester comprise more than 20 semester hours per week. 

ECTS credits are a quantitative measure of the amount of time spent studying. As a rule, 30 ECTS credits are allocated per semester, which corresponds to a workload of around 900 hours. On average, a student is therefore expected to work 40 hours per week. 

The International Business Administration degree programme comprises a compulsory and a compulsory elective area:

• The compulsory modules must be completed without exception.
• The compulsory elective area is divided into "Compulsory Elective Area I: Projects". An English-language specialised project must be chosen as part of the International Project Week. On the other hand, two specialisation subjects must be taken in "Compulsory Elective Area II: Specialisation Subjects", whereby International Management is compulsory. The specialisation subjects each consist of three modules of 4 semester hours each. One module is usually offered in English. In addition, students must complete a dissertation in one of the two specialisation subjects.
• In "Compulsory elective area III: Supplementary subjects", students can choose a (predominantly) English-language supplementary subject from a catalogue of compulsory electives. These include, for example, "E-Business/Apps and Processes" and "Intercultural Communication / Cultural Studies". In addition, a second "compulsory elective foreign language" (Spanish) is possible.
