Profile of the degree program

The part-time Master’s degree course in Business Administration enables working people to complete an academic education with the internationally recognized degree “Master of Business Administration MBA” while working. The course is aimed at people who require knowledge of decision-oriented business administration due to their professional situation or career planning. Qualifications acquired while working can be partially credited towards the degree.

What we value

Module study

Individual modules can also be taken from the degree program. Upon successful completion of the module examination, you automatically acquire the corresponding number of credit points. These are recognized as a partial qualification for later admission to a full degree course. The modular study program thus enables gradual entry into a degree program or its gradual continuation by earning credit points.

Study organization

The course is timetabled and organized to suit the needs of working students. The courses take place in one block week and on approximately five Saturdays per semester.

Course content and schedule

The degree program imparts sound business management knowledge to people who are increasingly entrusted with business management tasks. This includes in particular:

  • Models of the company and the economy as a whole
  • Business management methods subjects such as strategic and operational planning, investment and decision-making, organization and controlling
  • Transfer-oriented methods such as projects, computer-based business games, best practice examples
  • General education subjects such as economic history and economic theory
  • Guest lectures by experts from the business world

If required, bridging courses can be offered for participants who have not studied business administration but have business administration-related professional tasks.
