or free choice of focus
Controlling, finance, auditing:
In a company's finances, it's about maintaining an overview of key figures, solvency, profitability and many other central parameters and making important investment decisions. In order to be able to plan sensibly, it is essential that there is also sound knowledge of balance sheet and financial planning. The qualification profile acquired during the course enables students to enter the areas of controlling, financial management and tax consulting / auditing after graduation.
Supply Chain Management & Logistics:
Logistics and supply chain management is one of the most important and largest economic sectors today.
The demand for academically trained logisticians is high and the area offers the best career prospects! The focus here is on the one hand on the organization of the basic transport, handling and storage activities and on the other hand the design options and control of comprehensive supply chains.
International Management & Business Studies:
The complexity of business administration and corporate management is experiencing a decisive challenge as a result of the ever-increasing, progressive globalization. Companies today operate internationally and often worldwide. This affects a wide variety of business areas, such as marketing, purchasing, controlling, project management or general management. The qualification profile optimally prepares the students for an international job market.
Marketing & Branding, market research, sales management:
In national as well as in international marketing, the question is - what are the needs of consumers and the markets. In marketing, it is important to analyze the behavior of customers and competitors and to adapt one's own activities to market requirements. In addition, the question arises as to how sales should be set up? What customer data is required and how is it collected and evaluated in a meaningful way?
Human Resources & Labor law, organizational development:
How should future employees be selected? How should they be judged and according to which criteria are they promoted? Employees are seen as a key success factor. Managing success therefore also means managing the individual employees. Personnel management is therefore by no means exclusively carried out in the personnel departments. This HR work requires basic knowledge of labor law. At the same time, the question arises as to which organizational forms are suitable for which operational processes. How can organizations be continuously developed and workflows and processes improved?

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.
