Annotation

Do you dream of leading projects in companies or institutions and also taking on management tasks later on? The degree programme with vocational and academic elements in Business Administration prepares you comprehensively for this: you will acquire fundamental knowledge of business mathematics as well as finance and accounting. In addition, you will deal with topics such as marketing, digital business models and special business law. You can also choose from one of five possible specialisations and prepare yourself specifically for your dream job. Choose from among twelve different specialisations - such as Accounting & Controlling, Trade Management and Social Management.

In the degree programme with vocational and academic elements at the IU, you will study in one of the following two study models. In the degree programme with vocational and academic elements, lectures take place on two days per week on campus – occasionally also online via live video conference. Students then reinforce what they have learned using the learning materials. The "myStudium" degree programme with vocational and academic elements combines flexible self-study with digital learning formats. You will acquire the theory independently via myCampus – supported by innovative learning materials and Syntea, your personal AI learning assistant. Optionally, you can participate in weekly virtual accompanying courses as well as use other interactive live formats to deepen your knowledge.
