Will I get in
Every applicant who meets the formal requirements is admitted — but places can run out before the deadline, so apply at the start of the window.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.
Programme selection →What you study
The program is divided into compulsory, elective, and optional modules. In the compulsory modules, which comprise two-thirds of the program, you will learn the necessary technical and methodological foundations of business administration. In addition to purely introductory business courses, you will attend lectures on fundamental law and economics and be introduced to computer science. Modules in mathematics and statistics will help you deepen your understanding of numbers, which is essential for business administration.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
After completing your studies, you will have a wide range of employment opportunities within companies. Alternatively, non-profit institutions or public organizations, such as a city administration, are potential employers. The fundamental skills acquired during your studies will enable you to work in various areas. For example, you could work in controlling, where you compile data such as sales figures, prices, and costs to determine which products generate profits and how the product range may need to be adjusted. In the finance department, you will help decide how the construction of a new factory hall can be economically and ecologically sustainable and cost-effectively financed. In the corporate marketing department, you will lead a group of employees who conduct customer surveys and jointly develop ideas for improving customer satisfaction.

As an alternative to directly entering the workforce, you can deepen the knowledge acquired during your studies in a master's program in business administration. At the University of Rostock, the master's program in service management offers an ideal opportunity to gain deeper insights into selected topics.

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2German up to B2 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application via uni-assist until 15.07uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.

How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
