Mechanical Engineering is the classic within the technical studies: rich in tradition and at the same time innovative and future-proof. The standard study period is seven semesters. Upon successful completion of the course you may use the professional title “engineer”. A previous four-week internship in a company is required for admission to study.

The fundamentals of economics are the focus of this course of study. You will learn about the functioning of markets on a microeconomic level as well as the macroeconomic relationships of economic cycles of entire national economies. In addition to the teaching of the relevant economic models, a special focus of the course is on the development of economic policy recommendations, for example in such important areas as environmental or health policy, but also trade or monetary policy.

Business Informatics builds on the findings of informatics and links them to the requirements of the economy. You will learn about information and communication systems that are used to support business processes and decision making in organisations as well as in public administration.

The main focus of these Bachelor studies is on practice-oriented legal training, attaching special emphasis on a close link to economic issues.

In just six semesters, you will gain a comprehensive perspective on business administration and economics and their interconnections, for example in current issues of the digitalisation of the economy.
