Annotation

Financial management, controlling and accounting integrated into a well-founded Business Administration degree course

It is impossible to run a company without having its finances under control. In accounting and finance you will gain a deep insight into all areas of a company and support the entrepreneurial activities. Whether you are planning your professional start in controlling, accounting or corporate finance, want to work in consulting or also in investment banking – you are ideally prepared with our Bachelor's degree.

In a Business Administration degree course focusing on accounting, you will deal with questions such as:

How can you plan, measure, assess and control the company's activities?
Which instruments are used to advise the management on the development of new business areas and markets?
How can you secure and optimise a company's financial needs in the short and long term?

During the degree course, finance and accounting are not treated merely as theoretical knowledge, but always in the corporate context.
