The course is divided into two parts,
Basic Studies and
Advanced Studies. Thereby, the courses are modularly constructed.
The focus in the
Basic Studies is on study orientation, epistemology and personality development. In addition, current topics international economic and managerial aspects and ethical aspects form the foundation of economics.
While the basic studies emphasis on the basic knowledge of economics, the
Advanced Studies exclusively convey professional and industry related subjects. In addition to the compulsory modules, you decide individually on optional modules in order to follow your personal interests and strengthen your skills.
You can complete this study programme full-time or part-time. For full-time studies,
two internships are compulsory, which you can be complete in Germany or abroad, provide you important insights into the later professional life and should prepare you actively for starting a career.
The course of study concludes with a practice-oriented bachelor thesis and the award of the academic degree
"Bachelor of Arts".
All teaching content is taught according to the latest teaching methods and in networked application. Since our professors and lecturers come from the business world, they can integrate their experience and their network into their teaching in a particularly practical way. In addition, lectures, case studies and specialist debates parallel to specialist internships, excursions and guest lectures are formative elements of the course. In addition to classroom instruction, the acquired specialist knowledge is reflected and applied in self-study, in group work and in accompanying learning (eLearning). The different life and professional backgrounds of the students are seen as an important enrichment.
