Will I get in
Every applicant who meets the formal requirements is admitted — but places can run out before the deadline, so apply at the start of the window.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.
Programme selection →What you study
During our three-year program, you will spend five semesters at WHU and one semester abroad. Two summer internships, one of which must be completed abroad, expand your international reach. The program concludes with the Bachelor thesis. The core modules will immerse you in all areas of psychology and business during the first semesters. A combination of electives, concentrations, seminars, and optional modules alongside a business game, internships, and time abroad will prepare you for the final part – your Bachelor thesis.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
