The Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Global Management is a full-time on-campus three-year programme for a total of 180 ECTS, taught entirely in English, with one intake each year in autumn.
This generalist undergraduate global business programme combines rigorous academic foundations in all fields of management with practical insights from the professional world. After the BSc, students can continue towards TSM Master’s programmes or elsewhere in the world.
The BSc aims at:

- offering a dynamic collaborative international community, including faculty, students, alumni, corporate partners and international partners,
- delivering graduates with important personal, interpersonal and multicultural skills and abilities,
- distinguishing its students for their scientific rigour, analytical thinking and ethical awareness.
The educational philosophy of the programme is based on three stages: Awake (year 1), Develop (year 2), Accelerate (year 3).
In the first year, students will attend courses introducing fundamentals of management science, international institutions and comparative political systems. Furthermore students will take fundamental courses in accounting, finance, marketing and business economics for a successful academic path.
In the second year, the emphasis shifts to alternative perspectives on and specific contexts of innovation, project management, geopolitics, governance and legal environment. This will allow students to gain an understanding of entrepreneurship and sustainable development.
In the third year, students dig further into theoretical models and analytical skills to allow them to refine their critical thinking ability.
Over the three years in the BSc programme, students are expected to spend either one semester or one year abroad in one of TSM’s partner universities.
