About the Program

The Bachelor's program in Business Administration (Betriebswirtschaftslehre) focuses on how businesses function, how they can be successfully managed, and what decisions need to be made. The program teaches students about various business functions such as marketing, human resources, financing, accounting, and organizational development. Students learn to make the right economic decisions with limited financial and natural resources. The program is structured into mandatory, elective, and optional modules. The mandatory area covers two-thirds of the studies and includes business fundamentals, legal and economic basics, and introduction to computer science. Mathematics and statistics modules help deepen the necessary numerical understanding. The elective modules allow students to focus on their preferences, such as Finance, Accounting, Controlling and Taxation (FACT) or marketing and management topics. The program admits about 100 new students per year, offering a personal learning environment with exclusive courses for Business Administration students from the first semester. Students are introduced to academic work from the beginning and attend two seminars in the second year to learn how to write papers, preparing them for the bachelor thesis. The fifth semester provides opportunities for studying abroad. A professional internship can be recognized as an elective module, and a business simulation game at the end of the studies helps prepare for professional practice.
