About the program

Some students stand out through their independence, drive and creativity. They aren't afraid to set the bar high and enjoy the challenge of working with other high-achievers to achieve excellent results. Does this describe you?

Students seeking an additional challenge beyond that offered by their degree programmes may apply to do an Honours module or programme.

Honours programmes allow these students to demonstrate their ability to perform at a level that exceeds that of standard higher professional education.

There is a wide variety of subjects to choose from, including Entrepreneurship, Governance & Leadership in Finance, Dilemmas and Paradoxes, and Leadership in Sales. The programme involves 15 extra-curricular credit points divided over a maximum of two years. Upon successful completion of the programme, you will receive a certificate.

Internship

The internship at an international company is a participatory one. You will get a real-life, business-related working experience at an international company.

You will go through the everyday working activities within a company, you will be involved in a network of people, learn to cope with working times and the pressure of deadlines. The placement contributes to the development of skills, knowledge and competences, enabling you to gradually grow in your future career.

Take for example an internship at the Marketing and Sales department of a large international fashion company in Düsseldorf, and look around their Finance department. Companies are very content to have pro-active, hands-on interns equipped with proper skills at their HR, Customer Support, Logistics or Marketing department.
