With the Bachelor of Science in International Business Administration, students become interdisciplinary all-rounders. Students learn to deal with scarce resources and assets and to utilise them efficiently. By researching, describing, explaining and dealing with real economic and business issues from a corporate perspective, graduates are able to successfully support and accompany international companies.

The numerous specialisations allow graduates to focus early on specific careers in controlling, finance, accounting, strategic planning, corporate development, marketing and sales, human resources management or starting their own business.
