Business Studies

On the programme you learn about the interaction of a public, or private, company with society.

You will acquire skills needed to analyse and develop the organisation of a company's internal and external resources. These can be finances, the workforce or the raw materials a company uses to create new products.

The programme is divided into two main fields:

• Business functions and internal resources, which, amongst other things, gives you an introduction to economic and social theory and methodology, so you are able to evaluate how a business uses its internal resources.
• External business resources, where, amongst other things, you study a business' commercial relationships and their importance for goal achievement and development potential. You will gain concrete knowledge of the factors and methods that a business can use to analyse and influence it commercial relationships.

Teaching varies between lectures, classroom instruction and project work in groups. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.
