International Business Administration –
International Experience

  Due to the COVID-19 situation, special regulations are currently in place
  (summer 2020–summer 2021). It is now possible to complete summer
  programs at WU, and certain online courses taught by partner universities
  can also be recognized as part of the international experience required for
  the International Business Administration major (IBW).

  Study plan 2019: possible changes planned in the study plan and IBW
  international experience.
