Do you want to earn a Bachelor of Taxes & Auditing in six semesters of full-time studies? Are you self-initiated in putting the knowledge you have acquired at the university into practical application?

Then thefull-time studies (BSW)are right for you.

Do you want to study at the university in eight semesters alongside your tax clerk training, which is partly at a vocational college, and alongside your practical work in the training company?

Then the dual model of studies, practice & school (BSWD) is right for you.

Do you want to earn a Bachelor's degree in Taxes & Auditing in eight semesters because you want to combine it with practical work in a tax consulting or auditing firm right from the start? You

• want to become a certified public accountant, do not want to complete a separate apprenticeship as an assistant tax consultant, but possibly want to take the examination as an assistant tax consultant, or
• want to become a tax consultant, have a training contract as a tax clerk, and want to acquire job-specific subject matter at university (instead of at a vocational college) or
• want to become a tax consultant, do not plan to train as a tax clerk separately, but may want to take the tax clerk exam in addition to their studies, or
• already have a degree as a tax clerk or a similar profession and want to expand your professional skills?
  

Then the flexible Studies & Practice (BSWF)model is right for you.

Target group
The Degree programme is aimed at practice-oriented prospective students who are looking for a broad-based course of studies that will enable them to take on specialist and managerial tasks in a wide range of business administration fields, while at the same time providing training in one of the associated apprenticeships.

Aim of the studies
The studies are intended to enable the students to take on specialist and management tasks in a wide range of business administration fields in national and international companies, associations, public and comparable institutions.
The studies impart the basic knowledge required for practical professional applications and a broad range of specialist, methodological and social skills. Graduates are able to analyze problems in business practice with the help of appropriate methods and to develop implementation-oriented solution concepts with recourse to scientific findings. They acquire the ability to think in a networked manner; they are thus able, for example, to classify business management issues in broader corporate processes or in overarching economic-social contexts.

Content and structure of the degree programme
From the first to the fourth semester, the programme content is the same as that of the existing full-time degree programme, and from the fifth semester onwards it is the same as that of the career-integrated degree programme.
In the eight-semester Bachelor's degree programme "Business Administration dual (B.A.)", students are taught the following areas of knowledge and qualifications:

• the basic knowledge of business administration (business administration core area),
• the other knowledge required for activities in operational management functions (economics, taxes, business law, business informatics) and
• the key qualifications required (mathematics, business languages and international competence as well as other key qualifications).

Building on this knowledge, the dual Bachelor's degree programme offers the opportunity to deepen the content of selected subject areas by choosing two specialisation courses.
In addition, a large number of compulsory optional courses offer students the additional possibility of either rounding off their choice of specialization in a meaningful way or of opening up further fields of economics.
At the end of the Degree programme, the Bachelor's thesis must be written and presented in an oral examination. The Degree programme is modular, with each module culminating in a performance examination for which the corresponding credit points are awarded.

Programme of study
The eight-semester dual programme of study is the training-accompanying variant of the existing full-time degree programme Bachelor in Business Administration of our faculty. The dual students are integrated into the existing semester groups.

The following degree programme pathway provides a basis for orientation:

Course of studies

In the first two academic years, the course of study provides for a two-day stay at the university as well as three practical days in the training company. Courses in the winter semester are always held on Mondays and Tuesdays; courses in the summer semester are always held on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

From the fifth semester onwards, the Degree programme is continued on a career-integrated basis. Classroom sessions are held on Fridays from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on selected dates.

Contents and competencies to be acquired
In this module, theoretical knowledge from the modules of the first 3 semesters is linked to a topic relevant to practice and a result or proposed solution is developed with the help of this knowledge. The students should work on a concrete practical topic in your company beyond the vocational training in the company.

If possible, the topics should be designed in such a way that a business background knowledge is required for their solution (e.g. preparation of a market analysis, a quantitative evaluation by means of business cases, or similar).
The formulated tasks of Business Administration and Economics must be accepted by the company on the one hand and by the supervising professor on the other hand and must be based on the knowledge and skills of the student acquired during the studies.
