Programme selection →About the programme
The bachelor’s degree in Business Administration is offered at the Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences and is intended to enable students to understand and help shape subject-specific and interdisciplinary issues and processes. In accordance with the mission statement of the University of Bamberg - "Focus on people" - an important common objective of the Bamberg business administration is that the students should learn to develop alternative courses of action not only from the point of view of short-term profit maximization, but also with regard to possible side and consequential effects to assess and take responsibility for decisions accordingly. At the same time, students should develop the ability and willingness to reflect and question their own actions and to see themselves as creative actors in business and society. These aspects in particular should contribute to personal development and enable students to engage in civic engagement.
What you study
The bachelor's degree in business administration includes compulsory and elective modules, with the modules being grouped into module groups. General business administration, law, economics and methods form the foundation of your studies. There is a wide range of other specialization options: You can choose between the various areas of special business administration, which will allow you to specialize within your studies. The course can be studied with or without specializing in Business Education II. In addition to a two-month mandatory internship, you have the opportunity to study abroad for one or two semesters and acquire additional skills in dealing with intercultural challenges. Finally, in the bachelor thesis, you independently deal with a selected business research topic. The course structure can be found in detail in the examination regulations and the module handbook.
