Bachelor´s of Business Studies

The program provides students with a scientific basis, in particular the practice-oriented content of the subject, and enables them to analyze processes and problems in business practice, to develop practice-oriented solutions to problems, and to take into account extracurricular references.

The development of international and communicative skills as well as the ability to study independently are particularly encouraged.

This opens up all business-related occupational fields for graduates.

 

Career Prospects and Advancement Opportunities

The practice-oriented curriculum at the Westphalian University of Applied Sciences and its close ties to local businesses enable you to build a professional network while you study. The required work placement and a bachelor’s thesis that addresses a real-world management problem ease the transition to full-time employment.

In the second half of the program you may choose one of three specializations:

  • Marketing
  • Logistics and Supply Chain Management
  • Finance 

Expertise in any of these fields opens the door to almost every corporate function and industry. Graduates are especially well-prepared for managerial positions in retail, service and manufacturing companies, as well as in private or municipal sector cultural and recreational organizations.

After earning the bachelor’s degree, students may proceed to a master’s program. At the Westphalian University of Applied Sciences, the following consecutive master’s degrees are especially appropriate:

Management M.Sc.

Service Management M. A.

With a successfully completed Master's program, there is the possibility of a doctorate (acquisition of the doctoral title) at a university.
