International Business and Resources in Emerging Markets (IBRE)
The Master's degree programme is an economics-oriented degree programme that offers students a modern education in the overlapping area of modern economics, in particular modern development economics and environmental economics, and business administration, in particular international management. These areas usually have a special connection to resource-related industries. The teaching modules are designed to enable students to develop a detailed and critical understanding of the particularities, limitations, terminologies and doctrines in these areas, generating a particular understanding of the particularities of cooperation between Eastern, South-Eastern and Western Europe and emerging Asian economies on the one hand and the increasing importance of ecological interrelationships on the other.
Students thus acquire skills for dealing with new and unfamiliar complex tasks and problems in the areas of management of international companies, in administrations and international organisations. Using the theoretical framework they have acquired, they can develop and apply new ideas and procedures and evaluate them taking into account different scientific standards of judgement. This enables them to develop strategic solutions even with incomplete information and weigh them up against each other in scenarios. This enables students to independently manage processes in the strategy-orientated professional field of international management. In these fields of activity in particular, the requirements structure is characterised by frequent and unpredictable changes.
The interactive nature of the courses aims to help students develop their personal communication and cooperation skills in the fields that are decisive for the professional field. As a result, they will be able to integrate other participants into tasks in a goal-oriented manner in a management function, taking into account the respective group situation, deal constructively with conflicts and define the expected social, economic and cultural effects and integrate them into the decision-making process.
