Study International Management
Add value in an international environment
Go beyond contemporary business models, and look at the world’s economy from an international perspective. With each year, the world becomes more connected creating a global economy. Products we use on a daily basis no longer come from local sources but are often shipped from all over the world. Germany’s yearly exports total up to more than one billion Euros. Companies in such a globalized environment need experts that are capable of handling international transactions. Managers with international backgrounds in marketing, accounting, finance, logistics and communications establish the connections between companies and international markets. They become responsible for their company’s operations abroad.

What I value about the KLU is two-fold: it provides an excellent academic foundation for a successful future, and it encourages you to grow as an established individual, fostering confidence and approachability.
Hauke Schnepel, Student BSc Management, Class of 2020
One of the things I like the most about being at KLU is the comfortable study environment KLU offers. Not only do you feel comfortable on campus, but you also get to meet people with different backgrounds and work alongside with them, giving each student a very unique way of developing themselves throughout their studies.

You can consider KLU as a “gateway to the world,” as they say in German. An intercultural university with students of more than 30 nationalities located in Hamburg, KLU gives students the opportunity to connect with people from all around the world and to experience a multifaceted city. I could not imagine a better place for taking the first step into my future and establishing my own network.

Studying at KLU means having many different parts of the world on campus but still being in the beautiful city of Hamburg. Knowing that support is there for every aspect of our studies is a special feeling – it makes studying at KLU an exciting time.
Kim Bredemeyer, Student BSc Management, Class of 2018
The courses at KLU are carefully synchronized, leading to fast progress through the content without unnecessary repetition. The small size of the classes allows me to ask questions to the professor, if something is unclear. The lectures are often complemented by practical examples or projects illustrating the theory in a real-world context. The projects create a vivid, motivated atmosphere in class, which makes me enjoy my studies at KLU very much.
Vanessa Wolgien, Student BSc Management, Class of 2019
The KLU-Experience not only includes learning theoretical concepts in class but also experiencing their implementation outside of the classroom. For example, our excursions to Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services and the container terminals at the harbor were extremely interesting and valuable.

KLU facilitates the network of opportunities and aids in gaining a broader perspective on different aspects of business. It’s a rewarding experience to be a part of KLU.
