In their respective degree programmes, our students acquire a grounding in economics, which is taught in a practical, application-oriented manner with a strong focus on real-world relevance. Building on this foundation, their fundamental expertise is expanded through specialisations within each discipline, which are tailored to the skills currently in demand in the business world. Our mission is to train highly qualified individuals who not only understand how to successfully support economic processes, but also how to proactively shape them. Accordingly, the overarching focal points of our management training lie in the areas of digital transformation, entrepreneurship and sustainability.
Study formats
Students can undertake the degree programmes on a full-time or part-time basis. Both study formats enable our students to obtain a university degree whilst balancing their respective life circumstances.
Teaching structure
Teaching takes place in small groups, is interactive and involves discussion with professors and lecturers on an equal footing. Through close contact with our students, we offer individual support and a friendly, family-like atmosphere. By involving industry partners through guest lectures, workshops, field trips and project work, students establish their first contacts with the business world whilst still studying. In addition to trends from the professional world, the latest findings from the FHD’s interdisciplinary research projects – for example, in the fields of digital business and new work – are incorporated into the teaching. The FHD campus also offers ideal conditions for a focused, success-oriented on-campus programme: short distances, easy access to staff members, and modern facilities and technology.
Accreditation and Recognition
All degree programmes in the Faculty of Business Administration are accredited and state-recognised, and follow the European credit transfer system. The qualification is therefore recognised in the same way as those awarded by state universities and universities of applied sciences, and enables students to progress to a Master’s degree in the relevant subject areas at other higher education institutions.
Student Advisory Service
We are happy to advise prospective students personally on the specific content of the degree programmes, the particular features of studying at a private institution, future career prospects and opportunities for further study. We are happy to offer students from other higher education institutions, as well as prospective students with prior professional qualifications, new or further prospects, and will assess whether previously earned credit points can be recognised, as well as the possibility of shortening the duration of the programme.
