This is what it's all about:

We place particular emphasis on providing you with the necessary "tools of the trade" for your academic career. It all starts with the "scientific foundations and methods". We start with mathematics and statistics, which provide you with a solid foundation for many subjects in business administration, economics and electrical engineering. Don't worry, we will support you in mastering these subjects, which are often perceived as difficult, and teach you the joy of applying them in the world of business. But that's not all, because we also want to introduce you to the fascinating world of data science. Here you will learn how to extract valuable information from large amounts of data and derive practical recommendations for company management. With this knowledge, you will be able to master real challenges in the business world and develop innovative solutions.

To make your training holistic, we will also train you in the areas of scientific theory and soft skills. These skills are invaluable for your personal development and your future career. You will not only be well prepared professionally, but also trained to become critical thinkers and empathetic team players.

Teaching the basics of business administration and economics through varied lectures, practical exercises and personal tutorials in the fundamentals of economics. Three important areas of business administration are covered:
 

Business Administration I: Accounting & Finance: Here you will learn the basics of cost and revenue accounting as well as financial reporting. Investment and financial accounting are also part of the program.

Business Administration II: Management: This area gives you an introduction to the management of companies. You will become familiar with topics such as organization, strategy, marketing, personnel management and digital transformation.

Business Administration III: Intelligence, Logistics & Operations: This part is more mathematically and methodically oriented and includes an introduction to production control processes, logistics, operations research and business informatics.



The two basic economics modules offer you a fascinating insight into how the economy works at different levels. In microeconomics, you will gain an overview of the structure of markets and how prices for goods are formed. You will also learn how decisions are made by companies regarding their market entry and how this affects overall economic welfare. In macroeconomics, on the other hand, you will learn the basics of national accounts. Here you will learn how macroeconomic variables such as employment (unemployment) and inflation are determined. In addition, macroeconomic development patterns such as business cycles and growth are analyzed.

Civil and company law form an important basis for entrepreneurial decisions. Here you will familiarize yourself with the legal aspects that are of great importance to companies.

These exciting modules provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the economic context and prepare you to make well-founded decisions in the business world. The knowledge you acquire will help you to master the complex challenges of the business world and become a successful entrepreneur or expert in the field of economics.

Building on this, you have the opportunity to choose your three specializations from four exciting profile areas - this means you can design your studies entirely according to your interests! And within these areas, there are even more options open to you to deepen your knowledge of the topics that fascinate you the most.

Take a look at the profile areas we offer that build on the basics:

  • Accounting & Finance
  • management
  • Intelligence, Logistics & Operations
  • Economics and Sustainability

 

In each of these profile areas, you will find versatile modules that will help you to deepen the basics and expand your knowledge. You can expect interesting content that will enrich you on your academic path. From the winter semester 2024/25, a fifth profile area, "Data Analytics", will be available to choose from.

One of the profile areas will be particularly exciting, as you will complete a seminar in which you will write a paper and give a presentation. This is a great opportunity to apply and reflect on your knowledge in a practical way.

 

In the technical part of the course, you will receive a comprehensive and solid education in the fundamentals of electrical engineering, which will prepare you for a wide range of exciting topics. This training is made possible by a variety of lectures and practice-oriented exercises that give you the opportunity to actively apply and deepen your knowledge.

In the lectures on experimental physics, you will be familiarized with the fundamental principles and laws of physics, which serve as a solid foundation for understanding electrical engineering. The lectures on the fundamentals of electrical engineering will provide you with basic knowledge of electrical circuits, electric fields and magnetism, while electrical measurement technology will introduce you to the methods and instruments used to precisely measure electrical quantities.
 

Another important part of the program is the introduction to information processing, which provides you with basic knowledge of data processing and computer technology. The lectures on signals and systems will give you an insight into the analysis and processing of signals, an essential aspect of modern electrical engineering. Last but not least, you will receive a sound education in the fundamentals of electrical power engineering, which will give you an understanding of energy generation, transmission and use.

The course also offers you the opportunity to deepen your interests and expertise in specific areas through elective subjects. Electives cover a wide range of topics, including Experimental Physics II for more in-depth study, the web-based Introduction to Programming for digital skills, Electronics and Digital Technology for more in-depth study of electronic circuits and devices, the Electrical Engineering Fundamentals Lab for hands-on experience, and Electronics II for advanced knowledge of electronics.


Overall, the technical part of the degree program offers a comprehensive and versatile education in electrical engineering, preparing you for a career in the electrical and electronics industry, the energy industry, communications technology and many other exciting fields. Your acquired knowledge and practical skills will enable you to develop innovative solutions to the technological challenges of our time and contribute to the further development of this important discipline.

In addition to the seminar paper, you will write two further academic papers, the study project and the Bachelor's thesis. The study project allows you to apply the theoretical knowledge from the lectures to real projects. This allows you to test and deepen your skills and knowledge in a concrete context. The study project usually involves teamwork. Your Bachelor's thesis will then show whether you have learned to work scientifically. The Bachelor's thesis is written during the last semester of the course. You have to present and defend your Bachelor's thesis in a colloquium. You can either write your study project in the field of electrical engineering and your Bachelor's thesis in the field of economics or vice versa.
