PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION
Today’s business environment requires managers with an international perspective. The entry into foreign markets, the organisation of cross-border production processes and the creation of worldwide innovation is crucial for the success of many companies today. Therefore, executives must understand the complexity of international business, must be able to manage within an increasingly global environment, identify global business opportunities and compete against international competitors.
The Master in European Business is a management-oriented master with a strong emphasis on International Management and in particular with a focus on Business in Europe. The programme is designed to teach the necessary methods, concepts and tools to manage international companies as well as to build intercultural awareness and soft skills that are necessary to be a successful and valuable member of an international management team.
The programme does not neglect the business opportunities in other regions of the world (in particular Asia), but some emphasis is put on the particularities of Western and Eastern Europe since these are the dominant target regions for companies from all over Europe, including Switzerland.

STATEMENTS OF GRADUATES IN MA IN EUROPEAN BUSINESS
"Studying at the University of Fribourg allowed me to broaden my knowledge in the field of European Business and to acquire vital management skills. Thanks to interactive and scientifically sound lectures, a one-week study trip to Brussels paying visits to major international companies as well as several local study visits to manufacturing, retail and distribution companies, I was given the opportunity to better understand the fundamentals of international management and the complexity of multinational business networks.
Moreover, I enjoyed studying in the cozy town of Fribourg with fellow students coming from different parts of the world and to learn more about their cultural backgrounds. Holding the degree of a “Master of Arts in European Business” was for sure one of the reasons I got hired by Zurich for their Global Associate Program. My career started with an international perspective at the University of Fribourg and continues on this scale with Zurich as Global Associate."
"The MA in European Business program gave me a competitive advantage in an increasingly global business environment.
It has allowed me to expand my management knowledge with the complex specificity of international business. I really appreciate the hands-on approach of the courses because it has taken my learning beyond theory.
In addition, the University of Fribourg is a nice place to study for international students. It has allow me to observe and adapt to various aspect of multicultural environment"
