The entire course is unitised, which means that credits are accumulated along the way. The course is finished when a total of 180 credits have been earned.

Prerequisites for the successful completion of a Bachelor's programme in Business Administration are a sound knowledge of the English language, Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Sciences. Students with limited knowledge of English, Mathematics or Information and Communication Systems are recommended to educate themselves before the commencement of the Bachelor's programme.

Programme structure:
The Bachelor's programme in Business Administration is divided into the orientation phase (1st and 2nd semesters) and the in-depth and specialisation phase (3rd to 6th semester).

In the orientation phase (1st and 2nd semesters) students acquire knowledge of the basic issues and approaches to solutions of the economic sciences as well as of several important neighbouring disciplines. In addition to knowledge in business and economics, special knowledge in dealing with information and communication systems is acquired, as well as knowledge in the area of the relevant mathematical and statistical methods and law.

The in-depth and specialisation studies (3rd to 6th semesters) serve to complete the basic education in business (business in-depth studies). Students may additionally direct their studies towards their own individual interests and occupational desires. The areas within which modules can be selected comprise business specialisation, economic in-depth knowledge, the area of further economic sciences (with offers from Quantitative Methods, Economic and Human Resource Education, Economic and Social History or Economic Psychology, among others) and the area 'Economic Foreign languages and General Studies'. At least one foreign language module must be completed in the latter named area. Additional economic foreign language modules as well as modules from the courses offered in other faculties may be chosen, even if the subject areas do not belong to the economic sciences (general studies). The offered modules in the individual areas enable the students to acquire basic key qualifications for a graduate course of study or practical occupational skills.
