General information

The IBMS Course Outlines, together with the IBMS Prospectus, Handbooks and the Student Charter form

the Teaching and Exam Regulations, in Dutch: ‘de onderwijs- en examenregeling, de OER’. All of these

documents are digitally available via the Hanze website (access www.hanze.nl > Education >

International Business School), used by the Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Groningen.

The IBMS Course Outlines (in German: Vorlesungsverzeichnis Internationale Betriebswirtschaft) serve

several purposes:

to enable students to prepare for classes and to acquire the correct texts;

to enable students to plan their work;

to assist teaching staff to meet the educational aims;

to give partner schools and persons outside the Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen an overview of the contents and structure of the modules offered within the IBMS/BW study programme;

to enable the Planning Office to schedule classes;

to enable the Examination Office to create correct assessment schemes.

To meet these purposes each module description defines: the module name and examination code

used by the Exam Office and the Planning Office, the set-up of classes, the size of the module, the aims

of the module, what textbooks students must acquire, and how the module will be assessed.

At the date of printing, the information contained in this book was accurate, and as far as possible

complete. If any changes or revisions to modules have taken place since then, students will be notified

by their teacher at the beginning of the module in question.

These changes will only be valid after publication on the Hanze website (access www.hanze.nl >

Education > International Business School) under the heading: ' Formal Changes to Course Outline and

Prospectus’.

The academic year is divided into 4 study periods:

Period 1: September – November

Period 2: November – January

Period 3: February – April

Period 4: April – July

The periods mentioned in this Course Outline are those in which the module is offered during the

academic year 2016-2017.

Finally we refer to the IBMS Prospectus/BW Studienführer for all other information necessary to

complete your studies at the International Business School and other official IBS channels of

communication:

China Europe Business Talent Programme students

Prerequisites Admission to the China Europe Business Talent Programme & coach approved proposal form

Level Main Phase

Course contents The Hanze Honours College coordinates the interdisciplinary line of the Honours

programmes of all schools within Hanze University of Applied Sciences.

Interdisciplinary workshops will address societal or innovation topics related to the

main focus of the schools or Centers of Knowledge. IBS students are required to

participate in a minimum of one Hanze run interdisciplinary course during their

time in the Honours Programme. Workshops will focus on a variety of themes and

include guest lectures, participatory assignments and debate. Each school will offer

one workshop per year.


Students also have the option to follow a course online with an approved site such

as www.coersera.org as long as they have identified and justified to their coach

why this course may help them develop personally or professionally.

Students may also find an alternative course that is run externally. The quality and

appropriateness of this course should be discussed with the coach.

During time abroad (normally the SAB semester), students should enroll in one

class totally outside their field of professional interest. This can be on any topic of

their choosing. The students are encouraged to think outside the box – maybe a

new sport, an art course, literature? It can be anything but NOT a business related

course. If a course at the school is not possible, the student should find another

course given locally. Many community clubs and the local libraries advertise

courses, which are very low cost. A minimum of 28 hours participation is expected.

On return to Groningen the student should present a short video or a 5 slide ppt of

their experiences. Where possible the student should address how they can relate

the concepts learned in this course to their future professional goals.

Prerequisites Admission to the China Europe Business Talent Programme

Level Main Phase

Course contents The China Europe Business Talent Programme asserts that Honours students

should play an active role as leaders not only in business but by providing service

as a leader in the community. For this aspect, the group of IBS Honours students,

as a whole, will need to develop a community project in which they identify, plan

and execute their own community initiatives and reflect upon those experiences.

The students should strive for a lasting effect and positive publicity for their

initiatives.


An example of a project could be following and evaluating MOOC’s and other

programmes of universities around the world with a focus on China and its

(business-) relations around the world.

Other options could be developing and fulfilling the role of ambassador for Hanze

UAS, becoming a ‘Buddy’ and act as a coach/student mentor for the new CEBT

students, assisting in setting up relations with organisations in China, or become

an investigator for a company on market-possibilities in a China-Europe Business-

Relation, or developing into a role as journalist and develop short videos on

existing relationships that can be used for educational purposes; for instance

about the harbour-facilities of Tianjin, or about the way a Chamber of Commerce

works, or …., etc. In short; the activities to be deployed should become beneficial

to the whole Hanze-community.

The students should decide upon their goals for the project and communicate

these to their coach for approval. The students should clearly identify their

expectations and routes of communication at an early stage in the project. It is

the students’ responsibility to adhere to the agreements made within the group

and to produce a high quality of work for the project.

for an International Business Professional, and are as follows:

The student can communicate effectively in both written and oral form in

Prerequisites Admission to the China Europe Business Talent Programme & coach approved proposal form

Level Main Phase

Course contents This is a student-designed aspect. The directed assignments provide

opportunity to explore areas relevant to the student’s chosen field.

Students will formulate their own contract clarifying both the process and

assessment of the project. A student is free in their choice of project and

topic, providing it demonstrates Honours level complexity (as explained in


the assessment matrix) and a link with China-Europe Business. Students

are especially encouraged to participate in research projects and

international projects.

Prior to the start of the project, students will define the process and

project outcomes and include these in discussion with their coach by

submitting a proposal form. Students will develop the project with

approval and guidance of their coach who is an expert in the relevant field.

Activities will be executed independently.

Examples of activities/topics:

Getting a clear understanding of Chinese economic policy, business culture

and business law, and being able to have a critical thinking of ethical issues

in Chinese economy.

Develop basic Chinese language skills

Learn more about Chinese culture

Collect, synthesize and analyze information from a variety of sources about

Chinese markets and the related international business

Learn more about innovating business approaches.

Conduct research (both in groups as well as individual) in Chinese business.

There is a degree of flexibility within these projects as this allows for a very

specific and personal development for the student. The student can also

choose to take other classes (following their assessment criteria) to fulfill

this assignment, if they can justify the importance and relevance of it to

their specific learning journey.

A student may choose to either dive deeper into a specific area of a course

they currently follow, explore a new field or course relevant to their

professional goals, or participate in a supervised research assignment.

Details/peculiarities Assignment Examples:

IBS Course Assignment

Concurrent to enrollment in a regular IBS course, a student can design an

extra advanced business content assignment. Any IBS module can be chosen,

and the regular course instructor would complete assessment of this

assignment. Modalities to shape the advanced content are:

Make a practical application of the module contents for a company, explore

the innovations and trends in the relevant field or explore one aspect that is

dealt with in the module in depth.

Research project participation

Become involved with a research project within IBS, for example, working

with the Lectorate or other staff members conducting research. Alternatively,

research in another area can be conducted, for example, working directly

with an organization to establish research questions posed by them.

Courses in IBS or at another Hanze School

With proper advance planning and approval, IBS Honours students may have

the opportunity to audit a course within IBS or at one of the other Hanze

schools. For example, additional foreign language training, following lectures

in a subject related to the students’ professional goals, for example in the

field of technology, law, communications, stock market etc. If the student

can justify the benefit of taking a course at another institution, outside of

Hanze, it may be possible as long as permission is given by the mentor.

While abroad

During Study abroad or Placement it is also possible to earn credits for the

advanced contents by:

Involvement in activities of trading clubs, chamber of commerce....

participation in student enterprises or business associations in the partner

school

enrollment in an extra course on top of the 30 credits for SAB (*not

possible at every school)

participate in research done at the partner school
