Gaining global work experience – working in international teams – expanding your horizon, personally and professionally – learning and improving languages – experiencing a multicultural environment – immersing yourself in an entirely new culture – getting a new view on your studies – building up a personal international network – making new friends from all over the world…

One of the best ways to get professional experiences outside of the university is to perform an internship. The internship abroad of at least 20 weeks is an integral part of the International Business program and provides valuable on-the-job experience. Students acquire insight into internationally operating companies and apply theoretical knowledge to day-to-day business situations. Students have the opportunity to work alongside experienced managers from all over the world or find out if their inclinations match the demands of this particular branch. On top, the internship provides the students with beneficial contacts. It means a significant contribution to the student's personal and professional development and enhances his/her employment prospects.

The international orientation of Nuremberg Institute of Technology is manifested in numerous cooperations with universities all over the globe. Thus, our students currently have the opportunity to study business at one of the faculty's 90 partner universities.

Besides the internship abroad, the semester at a partner university is another important part of the International Business studies. The semester abroad provides an exciting opportunity to gain insight into different approaches to management as well as to experience life in a different society and culture. Students are able to expand their individual schedules by a range of new subjects and to gain a new perspective on the career focus chosen. Furthermore, the semester abroad  will teach students to organize their stay and to handle all of the small problems that come along with such a "venture".

... the internship abroad and the semester at a partner university are integral parts of the International Business studies. Finding and organizing an internship abroad is surely challenging. Especially non-EU students should consider that they have to face a number of barriers that local students do not have (visa, work permit, etc.). However, please be assured that we will do our best to assist and prepare you for this exciting part of your studies.

A double degree is a study program in which you study at Ohm University and, for two to three semesters, at a partner university. At the end of your studies, you will receive two degrees. This is made possible by agreements between the two universities, ensuring that academic achievements are mutually recognised. This way, you don’t study twice, but instead divide your studies efficiently.

Why is it worth it? Quite simply: you gain international experience, improve your language skills and benefit from a wide range of courses and perspectives on your field of study. You enhance your CV and demonstrate adaptability and commitment.

Living and studying in two different countries is certainly a challenge. If you can imagine approaching your studies in a slightly different way, a double degree is definitely an exciting option.

The International Business program offers double degrees with the following partner universities:

• International College of Management, Sydney/ Australia
• Providence University, Taichung/ Taiwan
• Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences, Finland
• Shenzhen Technology University, China
• Tec de Monterrey, Monterrey/Mexico
• Universidad de Granada, Spain
• Universidad de Valparaiso, Chile

Applications for a double degree program are submitted in the second or third semester through the International Business Office.
