In the Business Administration and Sociology programme, you develop an understanding of how companies and other organizations are organised, of their core business, and of how their activities are interlinked with the surrounding society – in an ever more globalised world.
Besides developing an understanding of the economic and organisational processes in an organisation, you develop practical skills that can be used when designing research projects, collecting data and analysing organisations.
The programme is structured within these main areas:
- Business Administration. The point of focus is achieving an understanding of economic activities in society and organisations by means of business economics and economic sociology. You will learn about various aspects of organisations and their broader economic context.
- Sociology. In courses such as ‘Fundamentals of Social Theory’ and ‘Theories of Contemporary Society’ you will be introduced to sociological theories and analytical tools enabling you to understand why people act as they do, and why society and organizations sometimes are stable and at other times under transformation. You will also get an insight into the stability of society and its institutions as well as occurring changes – from an economic and business perspective.
- Methods. These courses will give you methodical knowledge and skills. You will learn to use tools such as surveys, statistics, interviews, focus group interviews, participant observation, workplace databases and computer simulated ‘what-if’ analyses.
- Application. In courses such as ‘Applied Organisational Analysis’ and ‘Evaluation and Assessment’ you will learn how to apply and incorporate the obtained theoretical, analytical and methodical knowledge in relevant economic and organisational contexts.
In the fifth semester you can choose a number of electives, or you can participate in an exchange or internship programme.
International students are an integral part of this study programme. The aim is to train graduates intending to work in the global network society – since there is an increasing demand for people with these skills. Therefore, the focus is on creating an international learning environment on the basis of the student composition, the curriculum, the syllabus, and the international faculty involved in teaching the programme.
Teaching varies between lectures and classroom instruction. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.
