Business Administration, B.A.
Business administration is the course with which lectures began in 1994 at the Deggendorf University of Technology. Then as now, business studies are in demand because they open up many professional opportunities. In Deggendorf, the Bachelor's degree in Business Administration is very broad in terms of content. The course is constantly being adapted to changing framework conditions and requirements of operational practice, for example due to the increasing digitization of many corporate processes. You will get to know all the important departments and processes of a company so that you can familiarize yourself well with various tasks. You will specialize in one of the many possible areas of responsibility in the last two semesters of your studies and will usually find your job in this area.

Many companies are looking for you with a bachelor's degree in business administration. Business economist are considered the managers in companies. Regardless of the industry, size or department of a company, you can find a job in middle to upper management. In every company you will find a department or employee who, for example, takes care of finances, human resources, purchasing or advertising and sales. During your studies, you will learn to understand these areas of responsibility and processes within a company, how they are related and how to manage them successfully. At the same time, you will acquire basic economic and necessary IT knowledge, deepen your language skills and expand your analytical skills. Business economists are expected to recognize problems, analyze them and find solutions to them. During the entire course of studies you will also come across subjects that strengthen and shape your social skills. The cooperation in teams and also tasks as a manager that you may face require pronounced soft skills. Depending on which area of responsibility in a company appeals to you in particular, you can deepen your knowledge of the major after the internship. As a rule, the choice of focus also corresponds to your later field of work.
