Communication Management, B.A.
The success of a company, an association or another organization is closely linked to communication. That is why internal and external communication processes should not be left to chance. Whether a large company wants to communicate a merger process or a regional tourism association is looking for a new concept for successfully addressing target groups - the following always applies: communication is a management task - and management is a communication task.
Students in the Communication Management (B.A.) course acquire the necessary knowledge and the essential tools to control all processes of external and internal communication in organizations . In addition to the basics of PR conception, press and media work, journalism and business administration, there are insights into various fields of communication management (e.g. CEO communication, risk communication or employee communication), empirical communication research, communication psychology or current specializations in the professional field (e.g. litigation PR or communication in the political arena). Offers such as campus TV or campus radio, which are produced in our own studio, complete the program.

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.

- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2German up to C1 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application via uni-assist until 15.06uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.

How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
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.
