Minor in Business Administration and Economics

With the 2-subject Bachelor's degree program, you will acquire a university degree that qualifies you for a profession. In principle, you can start your career straight after completing your Bachelor's degree.

By studying Business Administration and Economics as a minor subject, you will acquire knowledge from the most important areas of business administration and economics as well as the necessary skills and methods that will help you to consciously and effectively tackle the economic issues that arise in your future professional context. The career prospects are diverse and are generally determined by the chosen major.

Your place of work will also depend on the field. This means that you will certainly not work exclusively at a desk. Meetings with colleagues, business partners and customers are definitely part of the job.

Of course, you can also complete a Master's degree before entering the professional world.

The minor comprises 42 credit points. The compulsory part of the minor focuses on courses in accounting (commercial bookkeeping and annual financial statements as well as cost and performance accounting) and microeconomics (with topics such as consumer theory, technology and production, welfare, introduction to game theory). In the elective area, students can take basic courses in marketing, organization, corporate management, decision-making and planning, financing, macroeconomics, economic and financial policy and econometrics.

The microeconomics course is taught in English, so you have the opportunity to improve your English language skills, which you will certainly need in your professional life.

If you want to study economics, you should first and foremost have an interest in business and economic issues. An understanding of mathematics and knowledge of English are of course also important.

In fact, many of the subjects have a mathematical component. But don't worry, in order to prepare you as well as possible, we offer you a preparatory course in mathematics at the start of your studies. Here you will not only get to know your first fellow students, but also review the school mathematics topics relevant to your studies. You can find more information about the preliminary mathematics course under  Preliminary courses for first semester students.

As some of our courses are held in English, you must also have some knowledge of English. If your Abitur certificate certifies English at level B2 or above, it is sufficient to upload your Abitur certificate as proof.  Language tests and language courses can also be accepted as proof. If you are unsure whether your English certificate is sufficient, you can still apply. If we need further documents from you, we will let you know.

Of course, you also need a university entrance qualification (Abitur or Fachhochschulreife).
Under certain circumstances, a vocational qualification is also sufficient (such as a master craftsman's certificate or at least two years of vocational training and experience). You can find out what you need to consider in individual cases under  Studying without an Abitur.

A pre-study internship in a relevant field is not required.

The minor in business administration and economics is admission-free: this means that if you meet the formal access requirements, you will also be offered a place to study with us!

You can enrol for the WiWi minor completely digitally in just a few steps. For the first semester, enrollment is only possible for the winter semester. The  application portal usually opens in mid-May.
