Course Content
The degree course should above all convey: in-depth specialist and methodological knowledge, application-oriented knowledge of practical relevance, scientific approaches and attitudes, ability to think in an analytical, conceptual and methodological way, ability to communicate and cooperate with others and knowledge of a business language.The degree course is aimed at the ‘moderately specialised generalist’, who gains not only in-depth specialist and methodological knowledge but also key qualifications and key competences.
The curriculum is an intelligently modified version of the 'Bremen Model' with its transparent and internationally comparable modular structure and its well-defined qualification objectives.
In each semester, five modules and a series of module tutorials are to be completed. The duration of the course covers an internship and seven semesters.
In the first four semesters, the general foundation of the BWL (Business Administration), VWL (Economics), law, social sciences, mathematics, statistics, computer science, tax and the English language are conveyed.
Following this is the internship, which takes place in the fifth semester and can be attended nationally or internationally, and includes a preparation and closing module.
The specialisation of two main topics with four modules each is covered in the sixth and seventh semesters. For the following main topics, there is a broad range of possible options available for eight specialisation variations offered: marketing and distribution, finance and banking sectors, business information technology, controlling, logistics, taxation and auditing, accounting, human resources management.
A module project is offered in addition to the main topics. The degree course is completed with a separate module together with the thesis. Each module is completed with a standard examination.
The clear set-up of the curriculum in combination with the system of course examinations allows for completion of the course to be achieved within the given period of study.
The practical orientation counts towards one of the biggest strengths in the department of business. Strong relationships exist with many companies – our partners.
