After the first year, Economics and Business Economics students must choose a specialisation in either International Business Economics, International Economic Studies or Infonomics. For the three specialisations, the curricula will differ. As such, the second year consists of compulso¬ry courses specifically designed for each specialisation. In the third year, there is some room or personal accents through the choice of a specific major and/or electives. Moreover, a personal touch can be given by the choice of courses during the obligatory half-year study abroad.
The Bachelor thesis in the form of a capstone assignment concludes the programme. The Overview table above shows the general outline of the programmes.
Choice of study direction:
All Economics and Business Economics students have to indicate their specialisation via MyUM portal before the start of the second year.
Students will be informed about this during the Study Choice Information Day (period 5). Instructions are available on ELEUM

*Electives:

Information Management Electives
Year 2 consists entirely of compulsory courses, except for the skills training in course period 6, which can be freely chosen from a list of IBE skills.
In year 3 IBE students are free to choose their programme within the framework of the examination rules. These stipulate that IBE students must choose one of the seven majors offered by the school: Accounting, Finance, Information Management, Supply Chain Management, Marketing, Organisation, and Strategy. Each major consists of two courses. Except for Accounting, 2 courses from each specialisation are offered in each term. Thus students can choose their major independent from their choice of term in which they go abroad. Courses of the specialisation Accounting are only offered in term VI.
In addition, a student must choose 2 electives. One of these electives has to be one of the courses from the major Information Management, the other has to be an economics or quantitative economics elective. An exception applies to students who do a major in Accounting. These students may choose next to their 2 major courses in accounting another 2 courses in accounting. Thereby they can fulfil the prerequisites for the postdoctoral program in accounting. An exception also applies if a student has chosen Information Management as major. In this case, the student may choose in place of a 3rd course in Information Management any course from the other business majors.
Finally students have to study abroad for half a year in which they have to obtain 26 ECTS which is the equivalent of 4 courses.
The Bachelor’s programme IBE is completed with two skills trainings to be chosen from the school’s programme and the capstone assignment
