You will acquire knowledge in the areas of business law, business information systems, mathematics and statistics. In the course of the degree programme, it is possible to choose a qualification direction and specialise in “Sustainability Management”, ”Banking and Insurance” or ”Corporate Accounting, Financing and Taxation”, for example. The degree qualifies students for a wide range of jobs, for example in companies, in the public sector or in planning offices and authorities.
