About General Management (b.a.) in CBS - Cologne Business School
Study Business Administration: General Management
Business Administration. The classic. Studying Business Administration prepares you for a great number of career opportunities without your having to decide at the beginning of your studies: Corporate Management? Marketing? Finance? Supply Chain? Everything is possible. But not all degree programmes are comparable. A Business Administration study at CBS International Business School means studying at one of the leading business schools in Germany. Every course, every elective, every professor and the whole environment are geared towards business. This focus will take you further.
Fundamentals plus specialisations plus soft skills
The basics of business management and economics are there from the beginning: Accounting, Mathematics, Statistics, Commercial Law, Market Research, Micro- and Macroeconomics and much more. This provides you with an understanding of how strongly the individual areas are interlinked. A special feature at CBS is that you choose an additional 2 elective specialisations from a choice of 6 as of the 3rd semester.
Up-close and practical: teaching and compulsory internship
Theories and current research are the basis for entrepreneurial activity. But when you start working or become self-employed, putting knowledge into practice is a must from the first day forward. That is why we at CBS place a lot of emphasis on the practical relevance, i.e. with business simulations, practical projects, guest lectures, excursions and, of course, teaching contents closely related to the real-life business world. And since almost every profession requires the use of English daily, language courses are part of every semester. A second foreign language is also possible but not mandatory. In an eight-week compulsory internship after the second semester, you will get to know the business world first hand. Our Career Services will help you secure an exciting internship at a renowned company.
Forging your career path with specialisations
CBS International Business School teaches you to be decisive. This also applies to the course your studies should take – tailor it to your needs. With six specialisations to choose from, you will select two: Will you decide based on your preferences? Combine fun and challenge? Will you choose complementary or contrasting subject areas? During a study consultation we will be happy to assist you in making your decision.
