Degree structure

Whilst providing its graduates with a thorough grounding in the core areas of Business Administration, the degree programme also introduces the most recent findings in the Social and Behavioural Sciences relevant to Business Administration. The foundation course deals with a range of subjects: Materi- als Logistics, Production Logistics, Marketing, HR, Finance and Accounting and International Management. Students have the option of extending their understanding of these and other issues in the specialist stage.

Study and internships abroad can be completed in the fifth theory semester and during the practical phases.

In addition to a specialist training in Economics and Law, students also learn specific skills:

  • Financial Accounting

They also learn:

The practical training in the processing industry and related sectors enables students to see their Business Administration training at work in a practical context. This does not close their minds to other issues, all of which are dealt with in the broader degree programme.
