Annotation
How do companies make successful decisions? How do innovative business models emerge and how can organisations be structured for sustainability? The Bachelor’s degree course in Business Administration provides in-depth knowledge of all central areas of modern corporate management – from marketing, human resources and organisation to accounting and financing, corporate strategy and digitalisation.
The degree programme combines scientific methodology with practical questions and enables students to analytically understand economic challenges and to address them in a solution-oriented manner. Individual options allow students to focus on their personal interests in more depth and to set their own priorities as early as the Bachelor’s degree.
Graduates have a broad business foundation and are qualified for a variety of roles in companies, organisations, associations and public institutions. At the same time, the degree course offers excellent fundamentals for a postgraduate Master’s degree.
Three good reasons for studying a business administration degree course in Essen: Thanks to the penalty-point system, you can study without the traditional pressure of failing and have enough leeway to fail an exam once in a while. Thanks to the "cafeteria" principle, you can flexibly design your studies according to your interests and combine specialisations from different fields. And if you find during your studies that you are more interested in macroeconomic topics, switching to Economics in the first few semesters is easy.
