Students' and Alumni voices
Bennet Achuo, Alumni
"The internationality of the programme is a plus. Seeing, meeting, and getting to know other international students has a comforting feeling. Added to that, the programme keeps improving year by year, adding the latest IT trends to its curriculum. One is never out of date with the newest IT tools. I chose BBA because it combines business knowledge with IT know-how. Learning business administration alone might just not be enough to be competitive and to have good chances in the job market. Not only have I learned theory, but have also gotten the opportunity to have a hands-on experience of the corporate world, which the programme rewards with academic credits."
"I have chosen the study program BBA for combining two majors that, in my opinion, are crucial for future career. Moreover, the study courses are held in English language, which encourages students to study in English while being in Germany. So both languages are constantly being used, improved and advanced."
"Before I applied to the course “Business Administration with Informatics”, I knew only that I want to do something with the business but didn’t know what path exactly to choose. This course provided me with an opportunity to gather broad knowledge and experience in different parts of the business world and thanks to that I know in which specific area I want to become a specialist."
“The BBA study course taught me to think outside the box. This is especially helpful when working on complex problems in the business reality. The combination of business and IT knowledge enables me to work in the fast changing environment of tax consultants.”

This list is only an idea of possible consecutive Master’s degree courses. Prerequisite for a Master’s course is a subject-related qualification which is based, among others, on the field of study or specialisation chosen in the Bachelor's degree course. However, in addition to subject-related qualifications, the individual interest is of course also decisive. Therefore, the assessment of eligibility for the desired Master's course is an individual decision.
