Program structure

Structure of the program

The Business Administration and Management Bachelor’s degree program at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences is comprised of six semesters. The practice-oriented program familiarizes the students with current management techniques and prepares them to independently solve the challenges of later professional life.

In the first two semesters, students become familiar with the principles of Business Administration. Starting in the third semester, students can choose between 13 in-depth specializations and three major fields of study according to their personal preference thus refining their own individual profile. The possibility of a voluntary study semester abroad completes the degree program.

Key qualifications such as Rhetoric and Presentation Skills are also promoted. The program also offers instruction in various business languages such as English, Spanish, French, Russian or Chinese.

Choice of in-depth specializations possible from the third semester

The modules are identical for all study beginners in the first and second semesters. This is followed by the choice of a study variant which determines the remaining study time. Students may choose an individual combination of specializations and electives or one of three major fields of study.
