After having acquired a firm grounding in the fundamentals of business administration, the first semesters will also give you the opportunity to deepen your knowledge in subjects like Marketing, Controlling, Human Resource Management, Supply Chain Management or Corporate Finance and Investment. You will get familiar with the basics of economics, mathematics and statistics and explore analytical and methodological instruments that will help you to make excellent use of e.g. market research data. The degree also addresses the legal framework that businesses operate within and provides a detailed understanding of European law. From day one we will also support you in developing key skills like project management or communication and cooperation to the best of your ability. You will also have the opportunity to optimize your chances by learning a new language. If you have ever considered starting your own business, subjects like “Innovation Management”, “Strategic Management and Business Planning” or “Entrepreneurship and Taxes” will be highly beneficial. The 4th and 5th semester will then give you the chance to specialize in particular areas by choosing electives like “Strategic Marketing”, “Finance and Accounting” or “Political Economy” according to your own interests and career aspirations. The 6th semester is focused on the application of your knowledge and will give you the chance to do a practical semester at a company in Germany or abroad. You may also opt for an exciting period of studying abroad to enhance your intercultural expertise. Your studies conclude with a thesis in the 7th and final semester.
