About

The first four semesters of our programme introduce students to general business administration (such as cost accounting, economics, mathematics, and law) and focus on international management theory, cross-cultural management, corporate finance, and the history and development of the Baltic Sea region. To allow students to acquire special competence and deepen their skills, they may choose two out of four majors (Management & Innovation, International Finance & Trade, Markets & Communication and German Business) in the fifth and sixth semesters. As for languages studied, Business English is compulsory, as is one language from the Baltic Sea region â€“ Norwegian, Polish, Russian or Swedish â€“ and our international students study German as a foreign language. The intensive language training and the focus on intercultural skills prepare students to do business on an international scale. The theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom is deepened by study trips inside and outside Germany as well as by guest lectures from partner universities or from the business world. The modular structure of this degree course offers the flexibility to study abroad and to do the mandatory internship in the fifth, sixth or seventh semester. One semester abroad is mandatory (either as an academic semester or as an internship). The double degree programmes with our partner universities currently give you the chance to obtain degrees from universities in the Baltic Sea region. Students in their final year write a thesis on international topics, which finalises their preparation for an international career. Your Bachelor's thesis at the end of your studies is also an entrance qualification for postgraduate programmes. The BMS philosophy emphasises the importance of face-to-face classwork combined with state-of-the-art teaching methods, real-world case studies, group work and research. After graduation, you are qualified to work in an international setting â€“ either at a German company abroad or an overseas branch of a foreign company in Germany. BMS graduates work in the most diverse fields, finding jobs at production companies (electrical engineering, food processing, vehicle construction), at service companies (consulting, finance, media and IT, tourism) or in the public sector (associations, chambers of commerce, marketing companies).
