Business Administration (part-time)

Entire sectors of the economy have changed fundamentally in recent years. Globalization and digitalization have led to the rise of companies that have displaced huge corporations with hundreds of thousands of employees from top positions just a few years after they were founded. And the change will continue. We are facing upheavals that are characterized by innovations such as artificial intelligence on the one hand and the requirements of a sustainable economy on the other. This requires business economists who are ready, who can adapt flexibly to new situations and make smart decisions.

The special thing about the part-time Bachelor's degree course in Business Administration at htw saar is that we offer two days of attendance per week compared to a distance learning course. This creates a real feeling of studying, you can exchange ideas and establish important networks.

The students already have an apprenticeship under their belt and are firmly established in professional life. In most cases, employers even actively support the course. Projects that are scientifically supported in the company provide further important experience. This benefits students and the companies in which they work. In addition, students are specifically developed in business skills such as presentation techniques, conflict management and rhetoric.

Key issues of the degree program

The part-time Business Administration course addresses the following questions:

• How do we manage scarce resources economically?
• How do we work together efficiently in decentralized and international teams?
• How do we lead teams in a modern, agile and competent way in a managerial role or as a founder?
• How can we use modern technologies, from big data to artificial intelligence, to improve work processes and products?
• What strategy can we use to reach our customers in a world with an extremely high density of information?
