Who is this degree program interesting for?

The degree program concentrates on the scientific basics of business administration. For this reason, it is not necessary to have any previous economic training or experience.

If you are interested in business studies and would like to work in this field, this is the right program for you. You will receive the basic equipment for a solid basis for your professional career, as well as being well-prepared for further career steps in your professional life.

In addition, you will have the opportunity to gain your first individual specialization during your studies.

Program Structure

The program is modular in structure. A module is completed by proof of achievement in the respective semester. During the lecture-free period you will complete internships in companies. In this way, you can combine theory and practice in an optimal way.

The modular degree program has three focal points:

Classical basic business administration subjects
Complementary aspects of the business environment
Language and key competences such as team and communication skills, working scientifically, time management, integration of different knowledge elements and transfer to project- and application-oriented questions, intercultural competences, general education

The various achievements - examinations, presentations, papers, poster presentations, case study work, specialist articles on book projects - strengthen and promote your skills in different fields and prepare you in the best way possible for the professional requirements in practice.

An international orientation is made possible by the offer of languages, English lectures in part, the possibility of stays abroad and our around 40 partner universities abroad.

Overview of the program structure

Lecture periods

The courses take place five days a week from Monday to Friday.

Lectures are held in the summer semester from mid-March to mid-July and in the winter semester from the end of September to the end of January. The periods in between are referred to as lecture-free periods, but are often used for company internships or writing papers.

A standard study period of six semesters is quite realistic. Even a stay abroad in the 5th semester does not normally lead to an extension of the total duration of studies.
