Programme

Companies in our region are increasingly operating in international market places in which competition has noticeably intensified. Executive leaders who are qualified to meet these demands and changes are becoming a decisive factor for successful competitive performance.

Therefore already ten years ago the University of Liechtenstein (Universitäre Hochschule Liechtenstein) and the Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschule Vorarlberg) have jointly designed a MAS/MBA programme of “International Management” studies for the training and further education of senior staff.

The MAS/MBA “International Management” work/study programme is globally oriented with a partnership between the University of Liechtenstein, Schloss Hofen and Vorarlberg’s University of Applied Sciences. The study programme will be carried in close co-operation with:

the Gloucestershire Business School (Cheltenham, UK),
the St. Petersburg State University, Faculty of Economics (Russia), and
the Shanghai Jiao Tong University (China).

This powerful partnership provides an excellent global learning experience by having lectures, business visits and speeches in five different countries.
