Management Skills

Based on the in-depth education of this degree program, graduates are able to plan, guide, and realize the founding of a company with all its aspects in a highly competent manner. They are further able to take on the succession and management of (family) companies and to design, implement and control management decisions. Thanks to sound training, graduates are qualified to plan, steer and realize the start-up of a company with all its challenges; a holistic and entrepreneurial approach is always at the foreground.

This program is oriented along the entrepreneurial work chain and supplemented by current topics such as new work, sustainability, digitalization and artificial intelligence. In addition, studies include social skills training and most notably practical project work.

International Approach

Key aspects of the BA in Business Management include courses providing a basis in Business English and a supervised semester abroad at one of our partner universities. A large number of lectures in English, the learning of a second foreign language as well as an organized semester abroad at a partner university are integral components of the Business Management degree program. They serve to deepen specialized qualifications as well as improve social and intercultural skills. A minimum ten-week traineeship abroad or with a local, internationally-operating company enables students to put their acquired expertise into practice.
