Major in Business Administration

The Major in Business Administration offers a broad based foundation in economics, which integrates practical relevance and scientific methods.

In just four semesters (3rd through 6th semesters), the major in Business Administration offers you an internationally recognised, fundamental economics education. This will prepare you for the practical work in the management of private companies, public organisations or non-profit organisations as well as for further studies at the Master’s Level.

Holistic perspective
In addition to the business courses, we offer courses in economics and law that provide you with a fundamental understanding of international economic affairs. It is important to us to develop your understanding for the societal, political, ecological and ethical contexts of business management. In this way, we pursue a holistic perspective in the major in Business Administration, taking various aspects of economics into account.

Practical relevance
Our programme is distinguished by the high level of practical relevance offered by the major in Business Administration: the courses are designed to develop your ability to utilise scientific understanding in practical situations. During the sixth semester, you complete an Integrative Seminar in which a consulting team made up of students develops a proposal for a solution to a relevant problem for a company, thus providing an opportunity to apply your knowledge in a practical situation.

International orientation
We are also internationally oriented: with our network of attractive partner universities, you have the opportunity to gain international experience during an exchange semester. The internationally oriented, English-language courses in your core studies and the language and cultural courses in the Contextual Studies component also allow you to develop your knowledge of intercultural issues and communication skills in a variety of ways.
