Business Administration, B.Sc.
The scarcity of goods and resources forces people to deal with them economically, i.e. to use them efficiently. Many different actors are active within the complex economic system. The subject of study of business administration (BWL) are the public and private companies as the producing side of the economy. Companies of all sizes produce tangible and intangible goods and services. The business administration examines companies from different perspectives: in this way, the various functions that are necessary for the creation of goods can be analyzed. In addition, individual development phases of such a social system (from the founding phase to liquidation) are analyzed or special features of individual economic sectors are highlighted. In addition, the business administration also looks at the interaction of a company with its diverse stakeholders (owners, employees, customers, state and society, competitors, etc.).
Business administration sees itself as an applied science that applies the knowledge gained from basic science to questions and problems that come from practice. It is an empirical science, but it also develops independent theories and models to derive recommendations for action.

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.
- 2Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 3Application directly to the university until 15.07Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.

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.
