Academic Programs at the Faculty
The Faculty’s three Bachelor and five
Master degree programs are part of a
consecutive modular structure (see diagram
below) that is regularly reviewed
and adjusted where necessary. The six
departments of the Faculty offer students
a wide range of subject areas to
choose from depending on their personal
preferences and interests. The
University participates in the ECTS credit
point system, which facilitates the
recognition of credits gained at other
universities, even abroad, and encourages
students to pursue part of their
program abroad.
The Bachelor programs, each of which
should be completed within six semesters,
provide graduates with an initial
professional qualification. They can go
on to pursue one of our four-semester
Master programs to enhance their
existing knowledge and specialize in
certain areas.
The newly accredited Master program
in Management Information Systems
is aimed predominantly at graduates
of the Bachelor programs in Business
Information Studies, Management and
Economics and International Business
Studies who wish to acquire in-depth
knowledge in this field.

Connectivity of the Bachelor and Master Degree Programs
The Faculty’s structured Ph.D. program
systematically and thoroughly prepares
candidates for an independent research
career. Our Ph.D. cooperation agreement
with the University of Bielefeld enables
us to offer our Ph.D. students highly
specialized training that is not normally
available in a university environment.
Under our project-oriented approach
to teaching undergraduate students
acquire valuable skills by working on
case studies, self-managing their curriculum
and participating in project
work in small groups.
A special element of the Bachelor programs,
which we introduced in the
2005/06 winter term, is our mentoring
system. During the first year of their
degree, the ‘assessment’ phase, the
mentees are assigned to small groups
that are led by their mentor, a member
of the Faculty’s academic staff who
advises them on producing their
course work.

As the business world globalizes and
corporations become increasingly international,
employers expect graduates
to have excellent language skills and
experience in dealing with a variety of
different cultures. The Faculty is a member
of more than 50 worldwide cooperation
and exchange programs, a largescale
international network that offers
students several opportunities for study -
ing abroad. Our selective Asian Studies
in Business and Economics (ASBE) program
enables students to develop the
language, cultural and management
skills that business-people require in
this region and, with a scope far wider
than that of a regular exchange program,
prepares them in-depth for a challenging
career in Asia. The ASBE program is
run in cooperation with China (Beijing
and Shanghai), Japan (Oita) and South
Korea (Seoul) and is assisted by the
German Academic Ex change Service
(DAAD) under its Inter national Study and
Training Partner ships (ISAP) program.
In 2010 the Faculty launched a double
degree program with Illinois State
University, enabling Master students to
spend one year studying at ISU. Upon
completion they are awarded a Master
in Business Administration (MBA) from
ISU in addition to the German Master
degree.
