The programme is taught in English.

Other Location: Hamburg

Our Bachelor's programme helps business students tackle contemporary challenges by providing them with a well-balanced management education. Students acquire skills and competencies that are highly relevant for international businesses.

They acquire theoretical knowledge in different business areas and get to focus on one management topic at a time while seeing how this area of business activity relates to other areas. Due to the international orientation of the programme, students learn how to work with people from different cultures and get to strengthen their social, communication and intercultural skills.
