Degree programme

International know-how and experience is becoming ever-more important in our increasingly globalized world. Companies expect their employees to not only understand the central issues of Business Administration and Man- agement, but to have a range of soft skills such as intercultural competence.

Those seeking to study global Business Administration and later work in a Management, Controlling, HR or Marketing role within an internation- ally-active company could do no better than to study this Bachelor’s degree programme. Taught together with a number of partner universities in countries such as France, Great Britain, Spain, Brazil and Argentina, the HWR Berlin enables its students to achieve both a German Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a degree from the partner institution.

Study for a global future: the fifth and sixth semester of this degree programme is spent at the partner university of the student’s choice. The compulsory internship semester is also completed abroad or within an inter- national company.
