In the compulsory elective area of the Master's degree course in Business Administration, you can choose very freely from a large catalog of modules. The only thing to note is that at least 50 of the total of 80 credit points must come from Business Administration . You can choose up to 30 credit points from a wide range of modules in the field of economics and/or the supplementary area consisting of related subjects. This flexibility in supplementing the business administration content makes it easy to create an individual profile. You can also easily integrate a period of study abroad.

Range of modules

The full range of compulsory elective modules is listed in Appendix 1 to the examination regulations. A detailed description of the respective content and qualification objectives, forms of teaching and examination achievements can be found in the module handbook (Appendix 3 to the study regulations). Both documents can be found under Study Documents.

Specialization

There are different specializations in each of the three areas of Business Administration, Economics and Supplementary Studies. These are

Which modules belongto which specializations can be found in Appendix 2 of the study regulations under Study Documents. In principle, a module can be assigned to several specializations at the same time, even in different areas. Depending on the content match, this assignment is primary or secondary.

Choice of specialization

You are not obliged to choose any of the specializations listed! Instead, you decide which individual modules you take and which specialization they should be assigned to on your Bachelor's certificate. Of course, you must observe the point limit for the areas of Business Administration and Economics. Modules count for the area from which the chosen specialization originates.
If you have completed a sufficient number of modules that belong to a specialization, you can have this specialization indicated on your certificate as a major or minor.

• A major requires at least 30 credit points of modules from the specialization, at least 20 of which must be from primary modules.
• For a minor, modules from the specialization amounting to at least 20 credit points are sufficient, at least 15 of which must be from primary modules.

Depending on your choice, several majors and/or minors (or none at all) may appear on your certificate!
