The Study Programmme

DOES BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION SUIT ME?

Studying business administration leaves a lot of flexibility. This applies especially to someone who doesn’t know where he sees himself in five, ten or twenty years. Business managers and economists are needed in every branch around the globe. The amount of job opportunities to choose from is correspondingly big.

With a degree in business administration, you prepare yourself to fill leading positions. These require soft skills like communication skills, team spirit and negotiation capacity. Furthermore, you’ll benefit from organisational talent.
Only responsible and creative business personalities assert themselves in the international job market. In demand are comprehensively educated and highly social and culturally competent business managers. That’s why we at the EBS Universität don’t just teach you professional expertise, but also put a high emphasis on your personal development. We foster you with personal coaching, socio-cultural projects and the extracurricular studies.

Excellent business managers are in great demand, not only in Europe but all over the world. We are dedicated to training you as an outstanding economist – practice-oriented and individually. You will learn to master intellectual challenges, to survive in a competitive world and to face management responsibilities in an environment of uncertainty and volatility.

The global job market requires multilingual managers who received an intercultural education. Therefore, the whole programme of business administration is imprinted by internationality. All classes of the programme business studies take place in English, and the students graduate with a degree as Bachelor of Science (BSc), which is internationally accepted.
