Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)
To successfully apply for the Bachelor of Business Administration at the HFT Stuttgart, the following requirements must be met:
We are the right place for students who
We provide a generalist education in all economically relevant subjects in small semester groups. In addition to general basics, we offer great flexibility in the choice of subjects in the main study period. Individual priorities can be set according to personal interests and professional goals. The profiles "Strategy and Organisation", "Finance", "Industry and Services Management" and "General Management" are available for selection. We include current challenges and issues such as digitalisation, industry 4.0 and globalisation.
Our students receive a broad education in business administration with opportunities for professional and personal profile development. Due to our small semester groups we can offer individual support.
Our students have great possible flexibility in organising their studies. As a rule, they complete their studies after successfully passing all modules of the first six semesters with 180 ECTS-CP and the title "Bachelor of Arts" (B.A.) in Business Administration, accredited by FIBAA. In addition, the Bachelor Plus or International Business degree courses offer two options for expanding your studies.
In the first two semesters we teach the basics of business administration as well as the fundamentals of economics. Furthermore, important knowledge in financial mathematics, statistics and scientific work is taught. In addition, our students learn another foreign language from the first year of study - either Spanish, Chinese or Japanese.
Students in the third semester choose three electives - according to their personal interests and professional goals. The lectures are then usualy read in the fourth semester. In order to make the choice easier, we offer the following profiles for orientation along different professional perspectives after graduation:
At the same time, the knowledge gained from the basic studies is further intensified and important key qualifications are imparted. Individual lectures and events will be held in English.
Part of the advanced study phase is the supervised practical study project. Our students spend four to six months in a company of their choice in Stuttgart or abroad in order to put the knowledge they have acquired so far into practice.
In the sixth semester, our students write their Bachelor's thesis in cooperation with a company. The topics often arise from the supervised practical study project and are coordinated by the student with the contact person in the company and the supervising professor at the HFT Stuttgart. The Bachelor thesis often already enables the transition to a promising career.
The Bachelor Plus is an extension of one semester with the aim of further deepening the knowledge and skills already acquired and increasing the qualifications and chances of a three-semester Master's degree. Our students study another semester and complete their studies after seven semesters with 210 ECTS-CP and the title "Bachelor of Arts" (B.A.) in Business Administration, accredited by FIBAA.
The "International Business" course is characterised by the special offer of a year abroad. If the students are interested in an international specialisation, they spend two semesters at a foreign partner university and complete their studies with 240 ECTS-CP and the title "Bachelor of Arts" (B.A.) in Business Administration, accredited according to FIBAA. Depending on the destination, this year of study abroad is combined with a double degree programme. In this case, our graduates also receive a second Bachelor's degree from our partner university, e.g. the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) from Metropolia University in Helsinki, Finland.
With the bachelor's degree in business administration, we provide training for "real" professional life: Practical studies are focussed and can be understand as the central thread running through all phases of the study programme.
Our academic partnerships aim to intensify cooperation between companies on the one hand and science, teaching and research on the other. Our students benefit from this throughout their studies.
Our students have the opportunity to acquire additional certificates and qualifications in the fields of tax consultancy, auditing and accounting as well as quality management, which are recognised throughout Germany. In addition, they can obtain initial certification in the field of accounting, in particular through the DATEV driving licence.
Our students gain real work experience during the practical semester in a company of their choice. During the 5th semester, we will of course remain in close contact with the students and continue to support them during the practical semester.
Throughout all semesters, we regularly integrate guest lectures by experts from the business world into our courses. Current lecture topics are taken up by excursions. Thus, experts from a wide range of sectors provide insights into professional practice.
The majority of our students write their final Bachelor's thesis in cooperation with a company of their choice. This is wanted, encouraged and supported.
Studying in Scotland was definitely the right decision. It is easy to make contact with other exchange students and quickly improve your language skills significantly through daily use.
During my semester abroad in Oviedo I had the opportunity to immerse myself in Spanish life and to meet people from all over the world. It was an unforgettable time, with great experiences and exciting challenges.
Our students are practically oriented and have a broad profile. They are qualified to take on business management tasks in all areas of large, medium-sized or small commercial enterprises, in consulting firms, research institutions or in the public sector. Different specialisations in the focal phase of the study programme enable students to concretise their profiles for career prospects in the areas of "Strategy and Organisation", "Finance", "Industry and Service Management" and "General Management". Our students' diverse career starts prove the broadly based study profile: whether an entry in an international group or in a family business in the Stuttgart economic region, whether in the automotive industry or in a service company, the careers of our students are as varied as the industries.
