Structure of the 3+1 Programme

During your final year of studies with CBS, you will be able to chose between a B.Sc. in International Business, where you pick different industries modules of your interest, or a B.Sc. in Finance & Management. The study language is English. German language training is part of your study plan. Successful completion of the 3+1 degree will open doors for you on the job market of your home country, but also on the German job market. The CBS B.Sc. degree in International Business will allow you to remain in Germany for 18 months after graduation in order to do an internship or find a job – or to continue your studies with us by applying for an English-taught Master programme.
