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.

“Management” (M)
As a generalist, you learn to take a holistic view of processes and problems from business practice and to work on and solve business tasks independently in an interdisciplinary manner.
"Leadership” (F)
With the early integration of leadership topics in the undergraduate business administration course, we are doing justice to the trend of organizations and companies that are reducing hierarchies, leading virtually, cooperatively and value-oriented and delegating responsibility at an early stage.
"Innovation" (I)
Organizations and companies today have to constantly change and renew themselves. We teach you attitudes and tools that enable you to bring in new ideas, think outside the box and think innovatively. Your international and extracurricular experiences during your studies will help you.
What you study
Building on the basic modules of Business Administration, you will gain an understanding of e.g. B. about the control and optimization of processes in the company, about organizational psychology and intercultural leadership. You will also receive leadership and communication training.

The aim of the training is for graduates to be able to take on technical and managerial tasks in lower and middle management. Due to the general business administration training, they are often employed in cross-divisional functions within the company. This includes, among other things, the management of customers, products or projects.
Job titles can be, for example:
- Project Manager
- Product Manager
- Account manager
Due to the entrepreneurial parts of the course, the following job profiles are also possible:
- Founder
- First hour employee of a start-up
This requires planning, decision-making, enforcement and control competencies that correspond to the management process of every company.
The skills and abilities imparted in the course enable the graduates to work in the company in a factual and practical way as well as to analyze and solve problems.
All-rounders are trained, who can take on the necessary commercial and administrative work under the special requirements of global change and digitization and meet the high requirements that arise from dealing with customers and employees.

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.
