Practice-oriented business education
& profile-building specializations
SPECIFIC KEY AND FUTURE SKILL
The Bachelor’s program in Business & Management offers a compact, practice-oriented basic education in economics. In addition, there is a strong focus on teaching key and future skills tailored to the respective branches of study (6 German-language and 2 English-language) from the first semester onwards. This profile-building specialization accounts for more than half of the total course content. Current topics such as sustainability, digitality, internationality and diversity are an integral part of many modules.
PRACTICAL RELEVANCE
The high practical relevance of the study program is ensured by close cooperation with regional, national and international companies as well as the use of experienced lecturers from industry, business and institutions, who bring current topics and new developments from professional practice into the study program or can also be experienced in excursions. The students' transfer skills are strengthened by working on specific and current practical tasks.

FOCUSED LEARNING
In the full-time study program, the modules are divided into two semesters with an intermediate or final examination week. This enables focused learning and makes it easier for students to plan the time required to complete their examinations.

INNOVATIVE STUDY SCHEDULE
We support part-time students with an innovative study time model: the modules per semester are implemented in sequences. This enables focused learning on the module content. The module is completed immediately after the end of the module sequence by means of an examination. This leads away from the parallel learning of a lot of content with a high mental load, towards focused work on individual content and thus more effective learning.
This study model promotes a high proportion of varied classroom teaching, which takes place in sequences on only a few weekends per semester (Thurs: 4:50 - 8:10 pm, Fri: 9:20 - 4:50 pm, Sat: 8:30 - 4:00 pm) and is supplemented by interactive online teaching units (depending on the module, Tue and/or Wed evenings: 5:50 - 9:00 pm or Sat: 8:30 - 4:00 pm). In order to ensure planning security for the usually tight time budget, the weekends of the course are already fixed two years in advance.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
For the part-time degree program, two years of professional experience - ideally in a relevant field - and/or at least 50% of the time in a relevant profession is recommended. Relevant professional experience or relevant professional activity during the degree program is generally credited towards the ‘Professional Internship’ module in the 6th semester.
