Could someone help to provide me some informations concerning the opportunity to study international management or strong international "volkswirschaft" in Bayern/Bavaria, which are the most well-known Fachhochschule in Munich or around.

thanks for your help.

Can't speak for Bavaria, but you could look into Baden-Württemberg (West of Bavaria, over by France and Switzerland). The University of Tübingen has an international VWL program, or else there is the Otto Beisheim School of Management near Konstanz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHU-Otto_Beisheim_School_of_Management .

1) Don't know if you speak German. Unless it specifically lists an english-language program, you're going to need to speak it
2) go to www.daad.de, which has a 'program finder' and can filter by subject or for international degree courses
3) unless you are looking to do a full on Diplom in VWL, which takes 4 / 5 years, you'll need to find a Master's program, which are increasingly common but not universal. See the DAAD website for more info.

First just a hint on the names of these institutions: The "Fachhochschulen" in Bavaria are in the process of dropping the "Fach" and renaming themselves simply "Hochschule" - this is already reflected in the websites of most of them, although not all have got around to updating their URLs from "fh" yet. The official English designation is "University of Applied Sciences"

The biggest University of Applied Sciences in Bavaria is the one in Munich itself, and they have a Masters in International Business Management which is open to graduates. This is largely taught in English. If you need to start at undergraduate level, the BA in Business Administration is the starting point, but this is not especially focussed on the international side, and you'll need German to study that.

Student accommodation in Munich is extremely expensive and often hard to come by. The competition from the students at the other two universities is great, and first year students often spend weeks camping out on other people's floors or travelling in from some considerable distance away.

Regensburg University of Applied Sciences offers a strong undergraduate degree in European Business Studies, which involves studying part of the time in Regensburg and part of the time in either the UK, France, Spain or Holland. Graduates receive two degrees at the end of their studies. You will need German to take this course.

Regensburg is 125 km from Munich and is a beautiful mediaeval city which somehow avoided getting pulverised by the RAF in World War II. It has a lively student scene and accommodation is much cheaper than in Munich.

In recommending Regensburg, by the way, I should declare an interest, as I teach at the UAS - though not in the Business Admin Department.

Other Universities of Applied Sciences close to Munich are at Augsburg and Landshut. Further away, you will find strong institutions in Nuremberg and Würzburg. Check out their websites for the courses they offer.
