The MSc Global Management and Digital Competencies consists of three study blocks: two study blocks of lectures and coursework, and one thesis study block that may involve an internship with a company. The entire programme is taught in English. The first study block is spent at one of ESB Business School's partner universities in France, Ireland, Italy or Canada. Study block two is spent in Reutlingen. For study block three, the thesis block, students are free to choose their location.
