About the programme

The degree programme was created following the long-term efforts of the USB Faculty of Economics to internationalise studies based on long-term cooperation with partner universities Université de Bretagne-Sud (UBS) in France and Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau (WHZ) in Germany. The creation and implementation of this degree programme are based, among other things, on the support of the German-French (French-German) University (DFH/UFA), which has long supported joint degree programmes of French and German universities.

The degree programme aims to deepen knowledge and skills in team management and leadership, project management in a multicultural or multilingual environment, and project management organised and supported at the European Union or member state level. Great emphasis is placed on multicultural communication and cooperation, which is the key to the successful application of theoretical knowledge of management in an international environment.
