Master of Science in International Management (IMM)

The Master of Science in International Management (IMM) at Furtwangen University is designed to equip students with specialized knowledge and skills in the field of human resource management within an international context. The program spans three semesters and integrates theoretical foundations with practical applications, allowing students to understand global business dynamics and the intricacies of managing human resources across cultural and national boundaries.

The structure of the program is organized into various modules, which are weighted in European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) credits.
