Description/content

The Bachelor's programme in European Business is a seven-semester Bachelor's degree programme taught completely in English and designed for students aiming to work in an international business environment.

It is a modern, internationally-oriented and competence-based business degree programme with a focus on Europe. Graduates have specialised knowledge of business administration. They are able to comprehend current economic and economic-political developments and can analyse business management problems in an international context.

Along with the development of linguistic and intercultural skills plus the experience of working in international teams, graduates will be able to succeed in a rapidly changing globalised world.

Doors will open to graduates for careers in national and international companies in such areas as personnel, financial management, marketing and consultancy.

The Bachelor's degree also entitles students to continue studies in a business administration-oriented Master's programme anywhere in the world.

Course organisation

The degree programme begins with three semesters of modules that will provide students with a solid base of knowledge across a range of subjects such as introductions to business administration and economics, marketing, human resources, law, business maths, IT and finance.

In the fourth and fifth semesters, students have the chance to specialise in an area that they find interesting and so develop a more focussed and defined professional profile.

Apart from modules on International Strategies in Theory and Practice and International and Institutional Economics, students can choose an additional specialisation consisting of four modules from a list including Marketing & Human Resource Analytics, International Trade & Investment and Finance, Accounting, Controlling, Technology (FACT) International.

Those who have an advanced level (CEFR C1) of German can also choose modules run in German such as Innovation & Entrepreneurship and Digital Marketing & Design.

In the sixth and seventh semesters, students have the opportunity to both study and work abroad, gaining vital experience of international business environments and working in culturally diverse teams, which will provide students with a competitive advantage on the job market.

In the sixth semester, students will have the opportunity to do a 20-week internship abroad or to do a 10-week internship in the seventh semester.

In the seventh semester, each student will complete his or her studies with a Bachelor’s thesis to demonstrate the ability to work on a problem independently by applying research methods.

Students are free to choose the topics of their theses in consultation with their supervisors.

Technische Hochschule Wildau – Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau (TH Wildau) is one of four universities of applied sciences in the state of Brandenburg. By combining the familiarity of a small compact campus with its proximity to the international metropolis of Berlin, TH Wildau offers the best of both worlds.

A modern campus university on Berlin's doorstep

The university opened its doors in 1991 with just 17 students in the mechanical engineering degree programme. Today there are around 3,300 students, ensuring that TH Wildau keeps its familiar atmosphere. On a modern campus with a direct rail connection to Berlin, aspiring academics enjoy an ideal environment for their studies in a range of disciplines covering the natural sciences, engineering, economics, law, business administration and management.

Practical and application-oriented

The practical orientation of the degree programmes is one of the distinctive characteristics of TH Wildau. Students can carry out practical exercises and experiments with top-quality laboratory and computer technology. An optimal study environment allows creativity and enthusiasm for research to flourish.

Close interaction between the university and the economy

Its potential for scientific innovation and development is what makes TH Wildau a desirable partner for innovative small and medium-sized businesses, as well as large international firms. Collaborations include input into designing the curricula for the degree programmes, to project work for students within the companies and joint research activities. This allows students to gain valuable practical experience in various fields even before they have completed their studies, thus making them an attractive choice for businesses when starting their careers.

Excellent international networking

An international and intercultural outlook shapes each working day at the university. Young people from over 80 countries around the world study at TH Wildau. About one in six students comes from abroad.

TH Wildau actively promotes international exchanges for students and researchers. It is for these reasons that the university cooperates with more than 75 partner universities around the world. TH Wildau has contacts through its traditional partnerships in Eastern and Southern Europe as well as through links to Asia, Latin America, the Arab world, and Africa. Students have a wide range of attractive options for spending a semester studying or working abroad, for learning foreign languages and interacting with other cultures.

A strong research university

TH Wildau has a strong research focus. In comparison to other small universities of applied sciences, it has done exceptionally well in obtaining third-party research funding. Academics are working in over 40 research groups dealing with the latest topics in applied and fundamental research. This has given the university its reputation as a centre of excellence in various scientific disciplines.

University location

TH Wildau is located approximately 45 minutes south-east from the centre of Germany’s capital city, Berlin.

Green, interconnected campus

TH Wildau is a campus university. The teaching and administration buildings, dining room, and library are all located on an interconnected campus by the Wildau S-Bahn train station, with direct access to Berlin. This makes studying in Wildau exceptionally convenient.

Modern infrastructure with tradition

The campus is located on a historic industrial and manufacturing site. Where once locomotives were built in vast production halls, today people study, teach, and conduct research. Some of the teaching and laboratory facilities of TH Wildau have been housed within these historic walls, while for others, new buildings have been constructed. This extraordinary mix of old and new continues to attract students and visitors with a passion for architecture.

Prize-winning university library

TH Wildau has a state-of-the-art library in an architecturally dazzling industrial production hall. In 2012, it was nominated "Library of the Year", and not without reason. With its wide range of forward-looking services, this cutting-edge library is setting new standards by developing novel technical solutions for library organisation. Last but not least, the library is open for student access 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
