Study and examination regulations

Strategic Management is accredited by the Accreditation, Certification and Quality Assurance Institute ACQUIN.

Content

The Bachelor's programme consists of eleven semesters. Due to the competences and abilities already acquired outside the university, the business, scientific, legal and personnel management basics of the first three semesters can be credited. As a rule, the practical semester of study is also credited through this professional practice. Ideally, the duration of study should be six semesters (three years).

Module study

You can also attend courses outside of a classical course of study and continue your education in this way. As part of a module course, you can take individual, selected subjects from the regular range of courses. After successful completion of a module you will receive a certificate. Completed modules can also be credited towards a later course of study. The module study allows prospective students a step-by-step, flexible entry into the study programme or the acquisition of job-relevant academic competences. It is possible to switch from module studies to bachelor studies after each semester.
