Overview
The ChineseEuropean Economics and Business Studies program is truly an international program, with teaching locations in Germany (HWR Berlin, Berlin School of Economics and Law) and China (SWUFE, Southwestern University of Finance and Economics) and an international group of students. The program is based on the pillars of business administration, economics and cultural studies, including languages. It offers excellent opportunities for work in the expanding field of international business, economics and politics with a special focus on Europe and China.
The MA ChineseEuropean Economics and Business Studies (MA CEEBS) offers you a course of studies directly concerned with the core issues for companies and institutions working in a Chinese-European business environment.
China’s rapid economic development, its integration into the WTO, as well as its significance for the global economy are challenging the development and competitiveness of companies and institutions at national and international level. In an intercultural setting, you will explore and investigate the major factors in the economic developments in China and Europe, analyzing such aspects as trade relations and financial flows, and the social and economic interrelations between these two regions.
