A formula for success: theoretical knowledge + practical experience
The programme is built on three pillars.
Semesters 1–3
The basics
You will gain a solid, broad-based grounding in core business administration topics such as marketing, accounting, finance, economics and selected aspects of law, business mathematics and statistics.
This is complemented by expertise related to new technologies and IT applications, as well as soft skills and business English.
In the first semester you will start working on a multi-semester project, applying theory in the context of an innovation process as part of the new technologies section of the programme.
Semesters 1–6
The practical training
Professional skills are directly incorporated into the curriculum of the part-time programme. In the first two years, you are required to complete a workload of between six and ten ECTS credits of 25 hours each per semester at a company of your choice.
The benefit for you: you gain valuable professional experience or can continue working for your current employer. You will be studying alongside fellow professionals, which makes for lively and informative class discussions. You can debate questions together in groups and share your experiences with each other. Case studies, project work and lecturers from the business world are all part of the programme’s strong practical focus.
Semesters 5 & 6
Advanced courses
The skills you acquire in the opening semesters will be fine-tuned during the rest of the programme.
You will cover managerial tools such as integrated accounting, management control, business organisation and organisational development. Starting a business, start-up financing and selected legal aspects are also part of the curriculum.
Courses such as Web Content Management and E-Marketing are designed to broaden your knowledge of new technologies. The programme will help you to consolidate your English skills, and you will also be required to write a bachelor paper using academic methods.
One of the highlights is the business simulation in semester 6. This enables you to bring together your knowledge of the various topics related to business administration. The aim is to assess the interactions between different departments, analyse complex business situations, and develop strategic approaches for your project.
