BUSINESS STUDIES
...business administration?
Business administration deals with the planning, organisation, management and control of companies. It encompasses all economic activities that take place within a company and aims to organise operational processes efficiently and effectively. Business administration combines theoretical principles with practical applications and provides you with a comprehensive understanding of economic interrelationships.
With a degree in business administration, you can work in many areas of the economy, e.g. in large commercial enterprises, small and medium-sized companies, management consultancies, public institutions and associations. You also have the opportunity to become self-employed or pursue a career in research and teaching.
