At our institution, we place special emphasis on providing you with the essential "tools" for your academic journey. It all starts with the "scientific fundamentals and methods". We begin with mathematics and statistics, which give you a solid foundation for many subjects in business administration, economics, and chemistry. Don't worry, we will support you in mastering these topics, often perceived as difficult, and convey the joy of applying them in the business world. But that's not all, as we also aim to introduce you to the fascinating world of Data Science. Here, you will learn how to extract valuable information from large data sets and derive practical recommendations for corporate management. With this knowledge, you will be capable of addressing real-world business challenges and developing innovative solutions.

To provide a holistic education, we will also train you in the areas of the philosophy of science and soft skills. These competencies are invaluable for your personal development and future career. You will be well-prepared technically, and also trained to be critical thinkers and empathetic team players.

The teaching of business and economics fundamentals through varied lectures, practical exercises, and personal tutorials in the basics of economic sciences covers three key areas of business administration:

BWL I: Accounting & Finance: Here, you will learn the basics of cost and revenue accounting as well as financial reporting. Investment and financing calculations are also part of the curriculum.

BWL II: Management: This area introduces you to company management, covering topics such as organization, strategy, marketing, human resources, and digital transformation.

BWL III: Intelligence, Logistics & Operations: This part is more mathematical and methodological, including an introduction to production control, logistics, operations research, and business informatics.

The two fundamental modules in economics offer a fascinating insight into how the economy functions at different levels. Microeconomics provides an overview of market structures and price formation for goods. You'll also learn about company decisions regarding market entry and its impact on overall economic welfare. Macroeconomics, on the other hand, teaches the basics of National Income Accounting, including how macroeconomic variables like employment (unemployment) and inflation are determined, and examines economic patterns like cycles and growth.

Civil and corporate law form an important basis for business decisions. You will become familiar with legal aspects that are highly significant for businesses.

These exciting modules offer a comprehensive understanding of economic interrelations and prepare you excellently for making informed decisions in the business world. The knowledge gained will enable you to tackle the complex challenges of the economic world and become successful entrepreneurs or experts in economics.

Building on this, you have the opportunity to choose three specializations from four exciting profile areas – allowing you to tailor your studies to your interests! And within these areas, you have even more options to delve deeper into the topics that fascinate you the most.

Take a look at the profile areas we offer, building on the fundamentals:

• Accounting & Finance
• Management
• Intelligence, Logistics & Operations
• Economics and Sustainability

Each of these profile areas contains versatile modules that will deepen your understanding and expand your knowledge. You can look forward to engaging content that will enrich your academic path. Starting from the winter semester of 2024/25, "Data Analytics" will be available as a fifth profile area to choose from.

One of the profile areas will be particularly exciting because you will participate in a seminar where you will write a paper and give a presentation. This is a great opportunity to apply your knowledge in a practical context and reflect on it.

In the technical part of the program, the fundamentals of chemistry are taught. You will gain a thorough understanding of chemical principles and concepts crucial for various technical applications. Lectures on organic chemistry will explore the properties, structures, and reactions of carbon compounds, while inorganic chemistry lectures will delve into the fascinating world of inorganic compounds and elements.

In analytical chemistry classes, you will learn precise methods and techniques for identifying and quantifying substances, essential tools for later laboratory work. Physical chemistry lectures will deepen your understanding of the physical properties of chemical systems and the mechanisms behind chemical reactions. Additionally, training in biochemistry and experimental chemistry will provide insights into biochemical processes and modern experimental techniques important in life sciences and research. A special focus will be on technical chemistry, where you will learn how chemical processes and reactions can be translated into technical procedures and industrial applications. These courses will show you how the theory and principles of chemistry are applied in practice to develop innovative solutions for technical challenges. In addition to lectures, practical labs are a crucial part of the technical curriculum. Here, students have the opportunity to apply their learned knowledge in real laboratory environments and conduct their own experiments.

In addition to the seminar paper, you will write two more academic papers: the study project and the bachelor's thesis. The study project allows you to apply theoretical knowledge from lectures in real projects. This enables you to test and deepen your skills and knowledge in a specific context, often involving teamwork. Your bachelor's thesis will then demonstrate whether you have learned to work scientifically. The bachelor's thesis is written during the last semesters of the program. In a colloquium, you must present and defend your bachelor's thesis. You may choose to write your study project in the field of chemistry and your bachelor's thesis in the field of economics, or vice versa.

We would like to point out that certain language skills are required for your studies with us. It is important that you have sufficient active and passive English language skills. This is required in order to read English-language specialist literature, take part in courses in English and also complete written coursework and examinations in English.

If you have not obtained your study qualification at a German-speaking institution, we ask you to provide proof of sufficient German language skills before starting your studies. The exact requirements and regulations can be found in the RPTU enrolment regulations.

It is very important to us that you are as well prepared as possible for your studies and have the necessary language skills. If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
