Business Administration (Public and Non-Profit-Management)

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) – 1 field degree program


Business administration and non-profit or public - how does that fit together? What sounds contradictory at first makes perfect sense. The Bachelor of Business Administration (Public and Non-Profit Management) focuses on the application of business management approaches to public institutions such as cities or municipalities as well as non-profit, i.e. not-for-profit organizations as part of the broad-based business education. In this bachelor's degree program, learn how the management of non-profit organizations works, what challenges cities and municipalities face, and thus give your business administration studies an exceptional character.

 

To successfully study business administration (public and nonprofit management), you should have...

  • have an interest in business and economic issues,
  • be able to imagine working in the public or non-profit sector in addition to the free economy,
  • not be afraid of numbers and scientific work.

The first four semesters of the bachelor’s program in Business Administration (Public and Non-Profit Management) provide a general overview of public management and non-profit management as well as basic skills in the principles and methods of business administration and economics. In the fifth and sixth semesters, students acquire more advanced skills in business administration and the complementary skills in economics, with a special emphasis on the area of public and non-profit enterprises and organizations. Parallel to their field-specific courses, students acquire transdisciplinary key qualifications, such as techniques of academic writing, foreign language skills, and teamwork and cooperation. 365 Volkswirtschaftslehre Economics Students of the M.Sc. program in Economics acquire the advanced analytical skills necessary to explore complex economic and societal issues. In addition to knowledge concerning the current economic situation, students develop the ability to identify, to structure, to analyze, and finally to solve problems in a variety of areas of application.
