Your future with a degree in Business Management
People with business knowledge in all areas are in demand, such as management, business organisation, marketing or the financial sector.
As managers, they solve business problems in companies and are consultants in business or in the public service.
Students can gain initial experience, for example in the role of a management consultant, in projects that are integrated into the course of study. They work on specific practical problems and make initial contacts with potential employers.
A wide range of specializations are available for further development, from financial management, accounting, auditing, controlling and taxes to human resources management, organization and leadership, value chain management, in-depth business administration and international business administration through to marketing.
