Business Administration for the 21st century

In your future career as a manager or entrepreneur or as future master student, you will immensely benefit from our Bachelor programme International Business Administration & Entrepreneurship (IBAE).

With its unique combination of the foundations of business administration as well as entrepreneurship, sustainability, and the digital transformation, IBAE helps you develop the managerial and entrepreneurial skills needed in today’s business environments.

Born global: Studying abroad

The observation that today’s business environments are global in nature is self-evident by now. Therefore, the international character of management and entrepreneurship is a running theme that cuts across all IBAE modules. In order to support this international character, the programme encourages stays abroad through attractive partnerships and double-degree programmes.

Thanks to the English-speaking nature of the programme, IBAE also continually hosts incoming exchange students from partnering universities and welcomes applications from international students.

  • Exchange semester: Rewarding and fun! We have attractive exchange partnerships, e.g. with La Salle-University Ramon Llull in Barcelona.
  • Double-degree programmes: One programme, two degrees. Our double-degree programme with University of Glasgow.
  • Support: Our International Office is happy to support both outgoing and incoming students.

A unique profile for change-makers: Our study concept

The study concept of the Leuphana College is nearly unprecedented. You combine your major in IBAE with a minor as well as interdisciplinary eye-openers in the Leuphana Semester and Complementary Studies. This enables you to give your Bachelor an individual profile, reaching extensions and depths that other business administration programmes cannot offer.

On the Curriculum page, you will find more information on the study structure as well as on the study content in the IBAE programme at Leuphana College.
