In terms of qualifications students will pass through an assessment year (Assessment Level) before proceeding to Bachelor Level and its component IM&E Focus Programme.
All modules on this course are taught and assessed in English
(exception: non-English language-learning units).
The General Management and Economics Programme
The general management and economics programme totals 120 ECTS credits and takes up the first three semesters of the course with a few modules spreading into the second half. In this part of their studies, students will acquire the essential knowledge and skills required in all areas of modern business and management. They will familiarize themselves with the political, economic and legal backdrop that influences and determines business activities, and they will develop skills identified as essential by employers: working in teams effectively, solving problems, developing critical thinking and, of course, communicating and presenting your ideas persuasively in multicultural and multilingual contexts.
The Focus Programme in International Management + Economics
The Focus Programme in International Management & and Economics at the Lucerne Business School uses a unique approach not otherwise found at Swiss Universities of Applied Sciences. Through its dual focus on the (internal) management perspective and on the economic environment it enhances students' perception of how international business operates and which external factors are crucial in order to achieve success. Students will be able to sharpen their awareness and understanding of cultural diversity and learn how to act responsibly and successfully across cultures. The Focus Programme comprises 60 ECTS credits and takes up the major part of the second half of the curriculum.
The Assessment Semesters
The course starts with an assessment year introducing students to the basic skills and knowlege needed during the following semesters. At this stage, i.e. during the first two semesters, a minimum of 51 credits (out of a total of 60) must be acquired in order to proceed to Bachelor Level (semesters 3 to 6). Missing credits from the assessment level must be acquired later through examination retakes.
The Bachelor Semesters
The Bachelor Level with a total of 120 ECTS credits comprises four semesters. The emphasis in this phase of the curriculum is on the international perspective of the Focus Programme modules. Students will familiarize themselves with a wide range of topics and issues of international and global relevance.
