International Campus
The Faculty of Business Administration and Economics is an open and internationally orientated institution. In the midst of advancing globalisation, we value diversity and welcome all those who find their way to us. At the same time, we are actively committed to promoting the international mobility of our students, researchers and young talent. Our integration into a global network for cooperation and research is therefore a matter of course for us.
Every year, over 200 Paderborn students spend part of their degree programme at one of our partner universities. In addition, our study programmes are internationally and interculturally oriented. We are creating a lively and dynamic international campus that regards transnational and international academic co-operation as an essential feature of our identity.
Study internationally
We offer a wide range of opportunities to study internationally at our faculty. It is important to us that you get to know new cultures and expand your language skills. Decide for yourself which opportunities you want to use to gain international experience. You can opt for an internationally oriented degree programme, a semester abroad, a double master's programme or English-language modules and intercultural exchange formats.
Internationally oriented degree programmes
In addition to the classic types of internationalisation, such as a semester abroad or a summer school, Paderborn University also offers you the opportunity to study a complete degree programme with an international focus. In addition to the Bachelor's programme in International Business Studies, we also offer two international Master's programmes: One is the M. Sc. International Business Studies and the other is the M. Sc. International Economics and Management.
International Research, Teaching & Working
The Faculty attracts international researchers and staff who share their diverse experience and expertise on campus. Around 10% of all staff are international. Employees can benefit from funding programmes such as Erasmus+ to gain international experience, including short-term lectureships at partner universities and further education and training stays in other European countries.
Our network with a focus on Asia
Our network consists of over 65 partnerships in Europe, America, Asia and Australia with a special focus on Asia. In view of the increasing shift of global value creation processes to the Asian economic region, we began systematically expanding our cooperation network in the Asian economic area almost 20 years ago. Students can also specialise in this economic region in special programmes.
