We place particular emphasis on providing you with the necessary "tools of the trade" for your academic career. It all starts with the "scientific foundations and methods". We start with mathematics and statistics, which provide you with a solid foundation for many subjects in business administration, economics and electrical engineering. Don't worry, we will support you in mastering these subjects, which are often perceived as difficult, and teach you the joy of applying them in the world of business. But that's not all, because we also want to introduce you to the fascinating world of data science. Here you will learn how to extract valuable information from large amounts of data and derive practical recommendations for company management. With this knowledge, you will be able to master real challenges in the business world and develop innovative solutions.

To make your training holistic, we will also train you in the areas of scientific theory and soft skills. These skills are invaluable for your personal development and your future career. You will not only be well prepared professionally, but also trained to become critical thinkers and empathetic team players.

Teaching the basics of business administration and economics through varied lectures, practical exercises and personal tutorials in the fundamentals of economics. Three important areas of business administration are covered:
 

Business Administration I: Accounting & Finance: Here you will learn the basics of cost and revenue accounting as well as financial reporting. Investment and financial accounting are also part of the program.

Business Administration II: Management: This area gives you an introduction to the management of companies. You will become familiar with topics such as organization, strategy, marketing, personnel management and digital transformation.

Business Administration III: Intelligence, Logistics & Operations: This part is more mathematically and methodically oriented and includes an introduction to production control processes, logistics, operations research and business informatics.

The two basic economics modules offer you a fascinating insight into how the economy works at different levels. In microeconomics, you will gain an overview of the structure of markets and how prices for goods are formed. You will also learn how decisions are made by companies regarding their market entry and how this affects overall economic welfare. In macroeconomics, on the other hand, you will learn the basics of national accounts. Here you will learn how macroeconomic variables such as employment (unemployment) and inflation are determined. In addition, macroeconomic development patterns such as business cycles and growth are analyzed.

Civil and company law form an important basis for entrepreneurial decisions. Here you will familiarize yourself with the legal aspects that are of great importance to companies.

These exciting modules provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the economic context and prepare you to make well-founded decisions in the business world. The knowledge you acquire will help you to master the complex challenges of the business world and become a successful entrepreneur or expert in the field of economics.

Building on this, you have the opportunity to choose your three specializations from four exciting profile areas - this means you can design your studies entirely according to your interests! And within these areas, there are even more options open to you to deepen your knowledge of the topics that fascinate you the most.

Take a look at the profile areas we offer that build on the basics:

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

In each of these profile areas, you will find versatile modules that will help you to deepen the basics and expand your knowledge. You can expect interesting content that will enrich you on your academic path. From the winter semester 2024/25, a fifth profile area, "Data Analytics", will be available to choose from.

One of the profile areas will be particularly exciting, as you will complete a seminar in which you will write a paper and give a presentation. This is a great opportunity to apply and reflect on your knowledge in a practical way.

In the technical part of the degree program, you can expect a comprehensive and challenging education in the fundamentals of computer science that will prepare you for a career in the digital world and the information society. This section of the degree program offers a diverse range of lectures and practice-oriented internships, giving you the opportunity to systematically explore the broad spectrum of computer science and deepen your skills.

In the lectures on the fundamentals of computer science systems, the focus is on digital technology and computer architecture. You will understand the basics of digital circuits and learn how modern computers are constructed and how they work. This understanding forms the basis for your further studies in computer science.

Another important area is the lectures on information systems and communication systems. Here you will learn about the interaction between hardware and software, which enables complex information systems to be set up and used efficiently. You will also learn how modern communication systems are designed and how they function smoothly.

The basics of software development are also covered in detail. This includes lectures on the basics of programming, which will give you the tools to develop software and solve problems algorithmically. You will design algorithms and learn about data structures, which are key concepts for efficient software development.

Another exciting aspect is the lecture on Web 2.0 technologies. Here you will be introduced to the world of modern internet technologies and learn the basics and techniques behind web applications. You will also familiarize yourself with the services, security aspects and data protection issues on the Internet.

Internships play a crucial role in your training. Here you can put the theoretical knowledge you have learned into practice and improve your programming skills. Through practice-oriented projects, you will learn to develop software and overcome technical challenges that you may encounter in professional practice.

In addition to the seminar paper, you will write two further academic papers, the study project and the Bachelor's thesis. The study project allows you to apply the theoretical knowledge from the lectures in real projects. This allows you to test and deepen your skills and knowledge in a concrete context. The study project usually involves teamwork. Your Bachelor's thesis will then show whether you have learned to work scientifically. The Bachelor's thesis is written during the last semester of the course. You have to present and defend your Bachelor's thesis in a colloquium. You can either write your study project in the field of computer science and your Bachelor's thesis in the field of economics or vice versa.
