About the Faculty of International Business

With our degree programmes in the fields of international business, intercultural studies, tourism, hotel and wine management, we are diverse, practice-oriented and above all internationally positioned. 

In our faculty internationalism is an integral part of our daily life.  From our cultural area studies and foreign language learning and professors and lecturers from around the world to our strong student exchange partnerships with prestigious universities world-wide and international students taking advantage of our many courses and programmes taught in English, our students are immersed in an intercultural experience that will directly impact their readiness for global careers.

It is very important to us that our students are well prepared for the world of work. We therefore attach great importance to close networking with national and international practice partners with whom we cooperate for student projects.

With our faculty's home at Heilbronn's Bildungscampus, our students benefit from a cutting-edge, modern learning environment directly adjacent to the city centre.
