International Business Study Modes

8-16 and 18-100 Study Modes This theory is supported by practice which forms the basis of the University of Applied Sciences studies. The Degree Program in International Business provides a flexible combination of theory and practice to prepare you for an international career. The main method used in teaching is learning-by-doing. A student-centered focus is predominant in the degree program, and to support this we offer the 8-16 (full-time) and 18-100 (part-time) study modes: 8-16: The student will study each day between the hours of 8-16, and will accumulate credits on a weekly basis. The student will receive guidance and support throughout their study period, and will work together in teams/groups that will simulate the workplace environment. 18-100: The student will have contact lessons approximately once a month on Friday evenings and on Saturdays. Teaching method will be close to a flipped classroom so that the student is able to combine his daily work into given assignments. The study method requires independence as well as the capability of working in teams.
