Annotation

Consumer Psychology and Market Research integrated into an in-depth Business Administration degree course

This degree course is virtually unique in Germany and combines consumer psychology as a sub-discipline of business psychology with a well-founded degree in Business Administration. With your Bachelor's degree, you have the best prerequisites for a successful start in an exciting and varied career.

The degree course teaches theoretical foundations and research methods of psychology. Key research topics include perception, emotion, motivation, attitude and learning processes.

As an application- and practice-oriented discipline, focus is on the psychology of buyer behaviour.

The foundation: a broad Business Administration degree course (with international economics, quantitative methods/statistics, legal fundamentals) qualifies you to apply the acquired psychological principles in a narrower marketing-oriented and business administration environment. Your degree course is geared towards the labour market of the future.
