Course Structure
The EAM curriculum consists of the following components:
Core courses in International Management, Economics and Quantitative Methods, Cross-Cultural and Human Resource Management, Finance, Operations and Project Management, Law and Taxation.
Mandatory elective courses in area studies and language training either with focus on China, India, Japan, or Korea. Students can choose one country focus upon their application to the programme.
In-depths electives where students can specialise by choosing one of various modules, e.g.: Comparative East Asian Management, Innovation Management, Leadership Challenges, International Logistics, or Global Strategy Analysis.
One module in each semester is developed as a mix of in class and distant learning (blended learning) providing students with the opportunity to finish the course at their own pace.
The language training in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean is organized as a blend of a compact language course at the renowned Bochum University Institute of Intensive Language Training (Landesspracheninstitut NRW) and language courses at the International Graduate Center. Hindi is also taught at the IGC.
