Practical relevance
The high level of practical relevance guarantees that we are at the forefront of business and that our graduates will have excellent chances on the labor market.
During the first three semesters of the Bachelor’s degree, the theoretical fundamentals of business administration (i.e. responsible management, accounting, marketing, HR management) and business law (i.e. contract law, company law) are covered. The development of methodical, communicative and social skills are also concentrated on in the first three semesters.
In the 4th, 5th and 6th semester, analysis of the connections between the different areas of expertise comes to the fore (lateral thinking). In the last few semesters the practical relevance of teaching increases. Practical relevance is ensured by introducing guest lecturers from companies, internships and allowing students to carry out real-life business field projects. The practical relevance of the degree program is guaranteed throughout, due to the employment of external lecturers with a background in business.
