Business Administration, B.Sc.
The B.Sc. in business administration leads students to the first academic title of the two-level subject combination program (Bachelor/Master) and thus also to the first degree qualifying for a profession. The degree program is modular and integrative, with the specialization of the business administration being supplemented by contents from the areas of economics, law and business information systems. The degree program offers many election and specialization options and at the same time permits training with clear practice relationship.

Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.

The bachelor's degree program starts with interfaculty lectures on general subjects in business administration, business information systems and in mathematics and statistics in the first and partially the second year of studies. In the second academic year, economics and the first special business administration are treated as well, while the third year teaches key qualifications, the second special business administration, analytical specialization and an elective. The bachelor's thesis must be compiled in the sixth and last semester.
