Locations: Dresden and Heidelberg Our International Business and Leadership Master's programme will enable you to start your career in multinational companies or to build up your own business. Study in our Management and Leadership programme and experience international exchange in various ways, including cultural diversity in class, a curriculum with a purely international focus, and a semester abroad at one of our partner universities.
- How it is organised
- The duration of the Master's degree programme is 24 months. The degree programme is divided into five-week blocks. There is an exam for each module in the fifth week. This ensures that competencies are acquired in a focused way. There are no semesters or trimesters (terms) as such.

- Participants can spend the third semester doing an internship in Germany or abroad.
- Part-time work
- Working as a non-EU citizen: In possession of a valid German residence permit for study purposes, you are allowed to work for up to 120 full days (full day = eight hours per day) or 240 half days (half day = four hours)…
- Degree
- Joint or double degree with a partner university.
- Support for international students
- International Cultural Club, workshops, free language courses, social and networking events
From your country
General requirements for master's applicants. Rules change — confirm with the university and your local German mission.
🇮🇳 Applying from India
- An APS India certificate is mandatory before your visa appointment — processing takes weeks, so start it the day you decide to apply.
- Budget for the blocked account (€11,904 for one year in 2026 — verify the current amount with the German Embassy).
- IELTS/TOEFL is typically required; some universities accept a Medium-of-Instruction letter — check the official program page.
🇳🇬 Applying from Nigeria
- Proof of funds is usually a blocked account; open it early — transfers and verification take time.
- WAEC/NECO results are assessed via uni-assist for most universities; a Studienkolleg year may be required for bachelor's entry.
- Visa appointment slots in Lagos and Abuja book out months ahead — book as soon as you have an admission letter.
🇻🇳 Applying from Vietnam
- APS Vietnam certification applies to Vietnamese applicants — schedule the document check before university deadlines.
- Most universities want IELTS 6.0–6.5 for English-taught programs; requirements vary by program.
- Plan finances around the blocked account plus health insurance — both are checked at the visa stage.
🇧🇩 Applying from Bangladesh
- Document verification is strict: keep certificates, transcripts, and bank papers consistent and genuine — discrepancies sink applications.
- The blocked account is the standard proof of funds. You do not need an admission letter to open one, so set it up alongside your applications.
- Apply to several programs in parallel — visa processing in Dhaka can be slow, and an early admission letter buys you time.
