MA Int'l. Econ, Business & Cultural Diplomacy (Short Track)
Hochschule Furtwangen University (HFU) partners with the ICD Academy for Cultural Diplomacy to offer the MA in International Economics, Business and Cultural Diplomacy. The program curriculum follows a conventional university structure of 3 semesters comprising the following:
- One-year academic program divided into two study semesters, wherein you take up mandatory and facultative courses (30 credits each semester)
- Professional Development Training Program, which is tailored to your studies (12 credits)
- MasterThesis, which you submit after the 3rd semester (18 credits along with the Academic Research and Writing module)
Proficiency in German isnt required as all courses are taught in English. Non-native English speakers must possess a minimum of CEFR B2 level and submit proof of competence (such as proficiency test results) to be eligible for the program. A BA degree is also necessary, though current undergraduate students with good standing can join the pre-enrollment process.
