Please find videos and information material on the specializations here.

Choosing Specializations

There is no requirement to choose any specialization! You just take modules and decide at the end of your study which of the viable specializations they shall be assigned to. Of course, your choices must fulfill the credit threshold for the fields of Business Education, Business Administration, and Economics. Modules always count for the field to which the specialization chosen belongs. Please also note that in the field of Business Education and Management Training at least 10 credit points must stem from primarily assigned modules.

If you have completed sufficiently many modules pertaining to a specialization, you can have it displayed on your certificate as a major or minor.

• For a major, there must be modules of the specialization in an amount of at least 30 credit points, at least 20 of which are from primarily assigned modules.
• For a minor, modules of at least 20 credit points are sufficient, at least 15 of which must stem from primarily assigned modules.

Thus, depending on your choices, several majors and/or minors (or even none at all) can appear on your certificate!
