Profile

The Major in International Affairs is aimed at students who have a distinctly international perspective and are characterised by intellectual openness and critical curiosity.

Assuming responsibility for society

Are you prepared to be committed to your studies and to assume responsibility in society, politics and the economy? Our demanding and intensive BIA programme is aimed at students who are interested in

the complex, frequently international problems at the crossroads of government, the economy and law which are characteristic of our times;
the various academic and social perspectives that have to be taken into account for a solution-oriented analysis of these problems and of conflicting objectives;
a degree course that offers numerous opportunities for practical involvement and experience.

«Later I’d like to work either in an international corporation abroad or perhaps in the diplomatic service. The Bachelor in International Affairs provides me with excellent preparation for starting my professional career. Also, the programme directors support us in our search for international internship places.»
