Course Structure

The EAM curriculum consists of two main components:

1. Core courses in international management, economics and quantitative methods, cross-cultural and human resource management, finance, operations and project management, law and taxation.
2. Mandatory elective courses in area studies and language training either with focus on China, India, Japan, or Korea. Students have to choose one country focus upon their application to the program.

One module every semester is developed as a distant-learning course providing students with the opportunity to finish the course at their own pace. Distant-learning courses utilize a variety of teaching methods and latest technologies, such as digital media streams (podcasts), chats, online tests, etc.

The language training in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean is organized as a mix of two three-weeks compact language courses at the renowned Bochum University Institute of Intensive Language Training (Landesspracheninstitut NRW) and distant-learning modules. Hindi is taught by in-house staff in Bremen both through in-class and distant-learning courses.
