Intercultural management at the Ansbach University’s international Rothenburg ob der Tauber university campus; a practical course of study with a regional, and international focus, is designed, and developed for people who require a high degree of flexibility in order to study. Intercultural management deals with business & management issues within the context of intercultural and international management environment. The programme also offers languages, digital competences, and a practical specialization.
There are two areas of study to choose from:
The flexible blended learning format, a mixture of online studies, and classroom lectures, offers individuals with time constraints, the opportunity to pursue their studies along with other professional & personal responsibilities.
The programme is available as either a full-time or a part-time course. Students following the part-time course are able to structure, and determine their own workload.

The full-time bachelor's programme consists of seven semesters. The duration of the part-time bachelor programme depends on each individual’s respective time schedule.
In the beginning of the programme, the focus of the studies will be languages (English or German as a foreign language as well as an additional foreign language), the foundations of business & management, intercultural management, as well as digital skills. Furthermore, Students will be able to deepen, and broaden the knowledge acquired by choosing an area of specialization, and gaining experience in an applied project management. Moreover, the practical semester provides an opportunity to apply the acquired knowledge in practice. General elective courses - suitable for the major field of study - round off the overall studies.
Upon successful completion of the Bachelor thesis, students will be awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree (B.A.), an internationally recognized, and accredited academic qualification.
Study flexibly! The blended learning mode gives you greater flexibility than a standard degree programme. At the Rothenburg campus, you will take part in face-to-face events and tutorials on average one to two days a week during the semester, use the counselling services or simply come along to study undisturbed - alone or with your fellow students. For the most part, you can organise your time flexibly between classroom sessions. All courses are managed via Ansbach University's digital learning platform and you can access your learning content at any time - including via an app.
The advantages of face-to-face courses (social exchange, practical practice) are combined with the advantages of online study (individual time management, variety of media) in a didactically sensible way.
The Intercultural Management degree programme offers state-of-the-art methods of digital university teaching for people with a high need for individual time management.
The skills acquired in the Intercultural Management programme, will equip the students to tackle the challenges of day-to-day intercultural situations not only within the organizations, but also in their daily lives. Furthermore, their chosen specializations will enable them to focus on specific jobs, and industries. In the same vein, the comprehensive analysis of case studies based on real-life examples will prepare the students to handle critical issues in the professional scenario. Therefore, after successful completion of the programme, the students will be equipped to join an organization/firm, and take on the challenges of managerial responsibilities in an increasingly volatile, and a dynamic economic setting.
Studying at the new Rothenburg campus means: balance between the old and the new. Built around 1900s, the school (location of the campus) possesses numerous Art Nouveau features, and is located directly next to Rothenburg's historic city wall. The heritage-listed building has been given a modern interior to accommodate the needs of the Intercultural Management Programme. The state of the art seminar rooms, equipped with latest technology and tools impart not only high quality in class teaching, but also offer remote learning possibilities. Additionally, there are dedicated rooms only for students, for learning, brainstorming, discussions, assignments and creative exercises, for example, think boxes, a library, multimedia rooms, an academic refectory, and an auditorium with a keynote stage, thus providing the campus with a distinctive flair in the heart of Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
Moreover, Rothenburg, a picturesque old town, also offers young people an enormous range of recreational activities. Due to its international popularity, Rothenburg has an intercultural character, has a lively pub scene with many delicious beer and wine specialties from the region, and is the venue for a variety of interesting cultural events such as the Taubertal Open-Air Festival, the Reichsstadttage or the Christmas Market. Rothenburg is located in the Frankenhöhe Nature Park in a magical landscape with small streams, Franconian villages, old mills and picturesque valleys waiting to be discovered on foot, by bike or in a canoe.
Furthermore, Rothenburg not only boasts of a bustling tourism sector, but is also home for numerous medium-sized companies in the fields of trade, services, industry and crafts - including market leaders in the fields of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, smart homes, and project consulting.
