Business Management (BA) SRH Distance Learning University

100% English

Your motivation

Your professional prospects are based abroad or within an internationally operating company in your home country, for a certain time at least.

Your view is directed far beyond the horizon. You are fascinated by the complexity of interrelationships and the variety of decision-making parameters in superregionally oriented business organisations. You want to acquire the necessary tools to qualify for a job in this environment.

Your outlook

You will acquire practical and intercultural skills to gain a foothold in internationally operating companies.

You will learn the necessary skills in a study programme that is held in English. Your skills will enable you to take on specialist and leadership tasks in operational and strategic management. Your portfolio also includes the development of strategic concepts and the management of operative service processes – from procurement to service provision and marketing. Your professional environment is in domestic companies with international business activities or in organisations with English as the company language.

Programme content & competencies

We will accompany you on your ambitious path and focus on skills for international business.

A wide range of courses open up your view of the big picture. You will acquire extensive business knowledge. Building on this foundation, you will subsequently learn to understand complex interrelationships and to classify them in an international context. For these objectives, you can choose from the following focus areas, among others:

Competencies for study and work

Personal skills, language, communication and leadership, business law, legal English

General Business Administration

Situation analysis in management, personnel and organisation, marketing tools, investment and finance, management of risks

International Management

International relations, operational and strategic international management

In a time of change and challenges, there is a special focus on current business management issues, which above all also place topics such as globalisation and digitalisation on companies. In addition to this, a practical project and the Bachelor's dissertation will prepare you for your intended occupation. You will learn how to transfer theoretical knowledge into your everyday professional life. On the one hand, the programme is aimed at students in Germany who wish to obtain a degree in English. On the other hand, it also opens up the possibility for graduates abroad to obtain a German degree through distance learning.

Beginning

The programme can be started on the first day of each month. Since the lectures and examinations are repeated continuously, it is possible to start your studies at any time without any problems.

Duration

The duration depends on the programme, normally 30 ECTS will take one semester, which means if your programme is 180 ECTS, the standard duration of the programme will be six semesters. But it really depends on your individual study plan.

After the tuition fees have been paid, the study programme at SRH Distance Learning University (SRH DLU) can be extended up to twice the standard period of study free of charge. If you need more time to complete your degree after the double standard period of study has ended, we will charge a monthly administration fee.

Our programme is fully online. Once you enrol, you will get access to our E-Campus, where you can find all the information you need for your studies.
