Master in Global Business

Program Overview

The Global Business Master’s program prepares students to work in a global environment. It covers the foundations of general managerial theory and practice; various functional aspects of management within companies that operate on the global market, including strategy, marketing, HR management, and company finance; the specifics of conducting business in the context of different countries; last but not least, negotiation and communication skills.

Three universities from Slavic (Russia), Germanic (Austria), and Latin (Italy) Europe have joined forces to offer students an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the business and academic environments of the world’s leading economic regions. The environment in which students learn is authentic in each region as the respective part of the program is delivered by local faculty and practitioners. During the Italian term, professors, students, and companies will work together to share expertise and knowledge with the students working on real business projects for Italian companies.

In this unique setup, students are able to develop a global mindset and enhance their social and cultural competencies. Learning is achieved through both content acquisition and cross-cultural team interactions. Cultural understanding is brought about by self-reflection on cultural experiences and active immersion in the target cultures. To enhance the process, the program places a strong focus on language acquisition of the target languages (English and Russian/Italian/German).

The program is a life-enriching experience that fosters the development of students’ personalities and provides a lasting impact on their levels of tolerance for diversity, ambiguity, and openness. Each student is given opportunities to explore different areas of study within and beyond basic academics, develop talents, and become business leaders of the future.
