Master program\u2019s base<\/h2><\/div>

Core courses in strategic, international and financial management are the base of the Master program in Strategy and International Management. The core courses are supplemented by advanced management courses and so-called \u201cSIM Integratives\u201d like Entrepreneurship, Digitization and Network Strategy. In addition, as part of the \u201cSIM in Practice\u201d, our students develop global initiatives aimed at creating social added value for society. An international mandatory internship is also completed until the end of the studies. This gives students a holistic approach to solve complex challenges in all areas of management.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
