Bachelor programme Business Management

Short description / Profile of the programme <<

The Bachelor programme in Business Management at HFT Stuttgart allows a very practical degree. Apart from experienced professors, lecturers from economy will pass on their practical knowledge. During the degree a supervised practical study project in a company is planned. The high practical relevance was also awarded a top valuation of 1.8 in the CHE university ranking in 2008. Further important components of the degree are the two foreign languages English and either Spanish or Chinese which are integrated into the Business Management degree.

Structure of the programme <<

In the first two semesters the basics of business management are taught. This phase encompasses subjects such as marketing, cost accounting, law, taxes, general management, quality management, production planning and political economics amongst others. Furthermore knowledge of financial mathematics, statistics and two foreign languages are extended and the necessary key qualifications are taught.

The main study period encompasses four semesters including the supervised practical study project. At the beginning of the 3rd semester the students decide on one of the two majors of General Management or Civil Engineering. The degree ends with the Bachelor examination, which consists of the modules from the basic and major phase as well as the dissertation.

In the 6th semester the degree ends with the completion of the dissertation (completion time: two months), which as a rule can be composed in a company, as well as the subsequent Bachelor colloquium.

Students who decide to choose the study option „Emerging Markets / Languages” during their course of studies will furthermore spend a 7th and 8th semester abroad. During those two semesters students acquire additional professional and cultural qualifications through the completion of classes and an international study project.
