This page overviews our Bachelor's, Master's, and Diplom degree programs. Moreover, it presents other related degree programs in which we are engaged. Please feel free to find out more about what we have to offer!

Bachelor's Degree Programs

At the Faculty of Business and Economics, you can study Business Administration and Economics and Business Education and Management Training at the Bachelor's level. Both programs are designed to last 6 semesters, that is, 3 years, and lead to the academic degree "Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)".

The faculty is also strongly committed to the interdisciplinary Bachelor's program International Relations (B.A.), run by the Center for International Studies, in which  Economics is one of the mainstays.

Master's Degree Programs

If you have completed the Bachelor's program, you can start studying at the  Master's level. The Faculty of Business and Economics offers three such programs: Business Administration, Public and International Economics and Business Education and Management Training.  These programs build on the Bachelors' contents and run over 4 semesters, i.e., 2 years.  Upon completion of the program, you are awarded the title of "Master of Science (M.Sc.)".

In addition, members of the Faculty of Business and Economics are closely tied to other Master's programs: International Relations (M.A.) run by the Center of International Studies,  and Business Ethics and Responsible Management (M.A.), Ecosystem Services (M.A.), and International Management (M.A.) at the International Institute Zittau. Business administration and economics figure prominently in these interdisciplinary programs.

Diplom Degree Programs

At the Faculty of Business and Economics, you can enter university studies not only in a Bachelor's, but also in a Diplom program. We offer two such programs : Business Information Systems and Industrial Engineering and Management.. Both are designed for 10 semesters, i.e., 5 years, and divided into the 4 semester basic studies and the 6 semester main course of study. 

Diplom degree programs are single-tiered, so they lead directly to the highest possible academic degree, equiovalent to a Master's degree. This provides advantages over the two-tier Bachelor-Master system common at other locations. Please find more information on the websites of the Diplom programs.

We also go to the Georg-Schumann-Building, where a large part of the faculty is located. It also hosts numerous smaller lecture halls and seminar rooms. Moreover, the "Alte Mensa" canteen, the sports halls, and the SLUB - the Saxon State Library – Dresden State and University Library are presented.
