MA International Business with German
About this course
International business with German addresses two interconnected competencies that are particularly valuable in a global economy: the ability to understand and manage business across national and cultural boundaries, and fluency in German, the language of Europe's largest economy and a key medium of international commerce, science and diplomacy. Germany is one of the UK's closest trading partners, home to major multinationals and a central player in European business networks. The combination of international business knowledge and German language skill positions graduates for roles in a wide range of international professional contexts. At Edinburgh, this four-year programme develops your German language skills to an advanced level while building your understanding of international business strategy, global markets, cross-cultural management, international finance, trade theory, supply chain management and entrepreneurship. You will also engage with the cultural and intellectual traditions of the German-speaking world, giving your language study depth and context beyond purely transactional communication. Edinburgh's research strengths in international business and its location in a major European capital provide an excellent environment for this kind of combined degree. The typical entry tariff is 184 UCAS points. Graduates move into careers in international management, investment and finance, European institutional roles, management consultancy, trade and logistics, diplomacy, economic development agencies and multinational companies with German-speaking operations. Edinburgh graduates benefit from the university's strong employer relationships and the distinctive professional credibility that a high entry-tariff international business and languages degree carries. Many also continue to postgraduate study in international business, European business, management or German studies.
