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.
There is a wide range of specialisations to choose from for further development: from controlling to financial management and international business administration to marketing, sustainable development, auditing and taxation or business information technology.
Good reasons to study Business Management at Kiel UAS
- practical teaching
- numerous projects within the local economy
- many elective modules, opportunity to develop specialisations
- high interaction between students and teachers thanks to the small group concept
- good network to international partner universities/colleges
Requirements
- a first professional degree in economics with a grade of at least 2.5
or
- a closely related study with at least 90 credit points for basic economic skills
or
- proof of a different professional degree in connection with qualified economic skills due to several years of relevant professional employment
If the previous course comprised less than 210, but at least 180 credit points, the missing skills must be subsequently proven. As a rule, a total of 300 credit points is to be attained.
- proof of qualified professional experience, usually not less than one year
An overall grade worse than 2.5 can be improved by 0.1 to a maximum of 1.0 for every completed six months of relevant practical experience that goes beyond the required scope. The decision on improving grades is taken by the examination board.
Applicants are informed in writing by the examination board at the beginning of the course of the requirements regarding the skills to be proven and the latest possible time for submission of proof.
