Structure and Course of Study

in both study tracks, the Bachelor of Business Education and Management Training comprises three sections: the compulsory area addressing the discipline's basics, followed by the elective area with numerous options for specialization, and the Bachelor's thesis. The total workload is 180 credit points. In a full-time program, 30 credit points should be acquired per semester, implying a standard period of study of 6 semesters.
