Globally operating organizations are critically aware of the need for culturally competent, responsible leaders. Our program offers both the scientific basis as well as the methodological, practical skills that excellent leaders need for managing projects, people, and environments in our globalized world. We build our program on the understanding that effective intercultural management requires innovative strategies and a strong understanding of human interactional behavior, and that organizations value teachable, adaptable and responsible leaders.

This program is based on international leadership skills, interactional behavior, and important tasks such as creating successful strategies. It brings together a wide range of academic disciplines, in order to explore the cultural complexities and diversity of our current times, from a variety of conceptual, academic and professional perspectives. We encourage you to better understand such complexities, your own cultural selves, and your interactional competence in a transnational context. Our program is designed to form top-notch graduates who are able to blend cultural theory with practical business strategies and best responsible practice.

Flexibler geht es nicht: Sie möchten online studieren? Oder eine bestimmte Klausur oder ein besonders spannendes Seminar doch lieber in Präsenz absolvieren? Kein Problem! Bei uns können Sie wählen, ob Sie eine Klausur online oder an einem unserer 10 bundesweiten Prüfungszentren absolvieren möchten. Auch unsere Kompaktseminare bieten wir Ihnen i.d.R. wahlweise online oder in Präsenz an.

One of the strengths of this study program is our inclusion of highly interactive seminars. You don’t have to be physically present in Hamburg to join the discussions held in our online seminars, webinars, and online tutorials. We ask experienced cultural and business experts to moderate important topics that are current and critical so that you can get a hands-on feel for how to deal with real situations in the workplace. We are committed to offering you significant contact with professionals who understand the issues and can answer questions, provide insights, and recount their own experiences with actual international concerns. In addition, our International Seminar is an exceptional way for you to experience first-hand other worldviews and their consequences in everyday life.

Besides, the on-campus seminars in Hamburg are an excellent way for you to incorporate what you have learned in a constructive environment. Our students generally find these personalized interactions with individual feedback extremely useful and highly recommend them to other students.

Here at the Euro-FH we understand the fast-paced and evolving environment of the working world. Because of this we have designed this program to be as mobile as you are - you can take your studies with you wherever you go. Such flexibility allows you to determine your own pace, and keeps you from being tied to one location. Even our examinations can be offered overseas at German embassies, consulates, and Goethe Institutes.
