An emphasis is also placed on a broad business administration knowledge base in areas such as marketing, organisation, personnel or corporate management. In addition, tuition also addresses the principles of “auxiliary sciences” required in business administration, including law, economics, mathematics, statistics and information technology. Methodological, social and communicative competences are of major significance.  Courses dedicated to conflict management, project management, sales techniques, negotiation management and business English ensure that the necessary working skills can be applied in practice.
