The World Economy and International Affairs faculty is a research and education centre focusing on the global economy, international relations, and oriental studies. Taking an interdisciplinary approach to the subjects allows the Faculty to reflect their real-life interdependence. Economists receive basic understanding of international relations, culture, and people's value systems. International Relations specialists benefit from an introduction to economics and applied mathematics. Both groups graduate from the BA course with a good grasp of two foreign languages. Asian Studies students not only study the languages and cultures of Asia, but also the economics, politics and entrepreneurial culture of the region.

Master's in International Business
The Master's in International Business is a unique hybrid of a business degree and an international affairs degree, which builds on the model of the MIB (Master of International Business). The curriculum combines courses in business, international economics and international relations. Unlike a standard MBA, which is insufficiently international in scope, this programme views all issues through an international lens and ensures that students not only understand how companies operate but also the complex context in which they operate.
