Admission requirements

In order to enroll directly in the study programme, you need to have a general university entrance qualification, a subject-specific university entrance qualification, or a technical college entrance qualification.

Do you not have a high school diploma or technical college entrance qualification?

Then recognized advanced training and technical school qualifications (e.g. technician, master craftsman, business administrator, specialist, educator, etc.) in combination with a consultation are also eligible for studying.

If you cannot provide evidence of advanced training or technical school qualifications, but have completed vocational training and have professional experience, you can start studying after successfully passing the university aptitude test.

From foreign students, we require proof of German language proficiency. There are several ways to provide proof, such as

  • DSH-2 (German Language Examination for University Entrance)
  • C1 according to CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages)
  • TestDaF level 4 (Test Deutsch als Fremdsprache/German as a Foreign Language)
  • a school leaving certificate equivalent to a German university entrance qualification.

Details

Due to the increasingly better networking of global markets and rapid technological progress, sound knowledge of business management connections is becoming more and more important in professional life. Classical business administration describes the management, control, and organization of a company. Therefore, studying business administration imparts a broad basic knowledge in various areas of business.

By knowing the individual areas of a company, a business economist can act optimally at the numerous interfaces within the company where an overall view and cross-departmental knowledge are required.
