Take on leadership responsibility

Make important decisions, have an overview of all necessary information, persuade and convince people of ideas – persons who want to take on the responsibilities of management need to possess skills on many levels.  Structured thinking, methodological knowledge, inventiveness, ambition and the will to lead projects to success together characterize the students of the bachelor's degree in Business Management - as well as the desire to pursue a career in business.

The degree program’s study conditions aim to support the students by providing strong fundamentals in the core areas of economics and business; thus, ensuring that our students have the tools for a successful business career at their disposal. The program provides individual development opportunities based on a deep support network with their faculty. In addition to individual support and development, great emphasis is placed on the internationality of the program as well: international studies and internships in cooperation with worldwide partner institutions allow students to broaden their horizons.

 

Die Grundlagen bilden die Fähigkeit zur Selbstorganisation, das kontinuierliche Streben nach Wissen und die effektive Teamarbeit. Durch die ganzheitliche Betrachtung verschiedener Ebenen (Organisation, Team, Menschen) und die Fokussierung auf nachhaltige, zukunftsorientierte Ansätze positionieren sich Business Manager*innen als Gestalter*innen und Lenker*innen in einer komplexen Unternehmensumgebung.

Vielfältige Perspektiven für persönliches Wachstum

Im Fokus stehen die systematische Entwicklung und Förderung unserer Studierenden mit dem Ziel, sie zu kompetenten Generalist*innen heranzubilden. Durch eine fundierte Ausbildung in den Kernbereichen der Wirtschaftswissenschaften erhalten unsere Studierenden das notwendige Rüstzeug für eine erfolgreiche Karriere in der Wirtschaft. Das Business Management-Studium eröffnet individuelle Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten und fördert diese durch ein engmaschiges Betreuungsnetzwerk mit qualifizierten Lehrenden.

Dank des attraktiven Zeitmodels ist ein Arbeiten neben dem Studium möglich. Dies ermöglicht den Studierenden nicht nur, praktische Erfahrungen zu sammeln, sondern trägt auch zur finanziellen Unabhängigkeit bei.

Die Attraktivität dieses Studienzweigs spiegelt sich nicht nur in der Betonung der Individualität wider, sondern auch in der Hervorhebung der Internationalität. Durch Auslandsstudien und -praktika in Zusammenarbeit mit globalen Partnerinstitutionen haben die Studierenden die Gelegenheit, ihren Horizont zu erweitern und interkulturelle Kompetenzen zu entwickeln. Ein zusätzlicher Fokus auf Nachhaltigkeit verankert zudem die Studienerfahrung in einem umfassenderen Kontext, der den Anforderungen der heutigen Zeit gerecht wird.

The practical transfer between the classroom to the business plays an important role in the course of studies: in order to promote the application-oriented training, experienced practitioners from local companies are involved in courses and lectures where they can pass on their experience. At the same time, our students receive comprehensive conceptual business knowledge. Areas of focus include management and leadership, marketing & PR, organization and personnel management, accounting, controlling and financing as well as logistics and manufacturing. The degree program’s design ensures optimal learning conditions and knowledge transfer within a modular curriculum.

Our students have the opportunity to set their own priorities. Four specialization fields are available to them in important, functional sub-sectors of business administration: personnel management, marketing, logistics & manufacturing, controlling & financing. Each of these areas offers future-oriented course content, which is offered in-depth as part of the entire degree program. This will facilitate and ease the transition from academic to business settings and allow our graduates to start their careers quickly and successfully. Students can directly apply their acquired in-depth knowledge in those fields, which are important for corporate practice. During the degree program, the practical implementation of gained knowledge also takes place in project courses and project simulations - according to the motto "Study through practice".

Job & Career

Due to the interdisciplinary education in the bachelor's program in economics, graduates of the individual branches of study have very good career opportunities in the respective industries.

In addition to professional know-how, graduates have extensive key qualifications and skills. In particular, self-management, organisational, social and leadership skills as well as language and communication competence are to be emphasised. The range of foreign languages offered at the department includes Italian, Slovenian, French and Russian. Students who use these foreign languages can sharpen their career profile significantly.

In order to prepare students for their entry into professional life, the work placement is a particularly important part of the curriculum. Practical units enable the direct implementation and deepening of the specialist knowledge already acquired in practice, so that the knowledge can also be further developed "on the job". In addition, important initial contacts are made with potential employers. It is not unusual for a concrete job offer to result from the internship.

The successful completion of the Bachelor's degree entitles the holder to a Master's degree in Business & Management at the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences in the scope of 4 semesters as well as to a Master's degree in Business & Management at another FH or university.

 

 

Statements


Practice-oriented business education & profile-building specializations

SPECIFIC KEY AND FUTURE SKILLS

The Bachelor study program in Management offers a compact, practice-oriented basic education in economics. In addition, there is a strong focus on teaching key and future skills tailored to the respective branches of study (6 German-language and 2 English-language) from the first semester onwards. This profile-building specialization accounts for more than half of the total course content. Current topics such as sustainability, digitality, internationality and diversity are an integral part of many modules.


PRACTICAL RELEVANCE

The high practical relevance of the study program is ensured by close cooperation with regional, national and international companies as well as the use of experienced lecturers from industry, business and institutions, who bring current topics and new developments from professional practice into the study program or can also be experienced in excursions. The students' transfer skills are strengthened by working on specific and current practical tasks.


Innovative study time model - perfect match of studying, working & living

We support part-time students with an innovative study time model: the modules per semester are implemented in sequences. This enables focused learning on the module content. The module is completed immediately after the end of the module sequence by means of an examination. This leads away from the parallel learning of a lot of content with a high mental load, towards focused work on individual content and thus more effective learning.

This study model promotes a high proportion of varied classroom teaching, which takes place in sequences on only a few weekends per semester (Thurs: 4:50 - 8:10 pm, Fri: 9:20 - 4:50 pm, Sat: 8:30 - 4:00 pm) and is supplemented by interactive online teaching units (depending on the module, Tue and/or Wed evenings: 5:50 - 9:00 pm or Sat: 8:30 - 4:00 pm). In order to ensure planning security for the usually tight time budget, the weekends of the course are already fixed two years in advance.

STUDY REQUIREMENTS

For the part-time degree program, two years of professional experience - ideally in a relevant field - and/or at least 50% of the time in a relevant profession is recommended. Relevant professional experience or relevant professional activity during the degree program is generally credited towards the ‘Professional Internship’ module in the 6th semester.

Campus & Arrival

Villach

The Villach region combines tradition, cosmopolitanism and quality of life with the advantages of an innovative business location. Villach, a small town with about 60,000 inhabitants, is an international high-tech location with groundbreaking cooperation between science and industry and is also increasingly developing into a start-up town.

Situated directly at the intersection of three cultures, Villach, situated on the Drava river, is an important traffic junction in the Alps-Adriatic region. This special geographical location and the beautiful landscape around Villach and in the federal state of Carinthia have made the region a popular holiday destination for generations, further beyond the borders. The drinking water quality of the lakes and the particularly clean air make Villach and its surroundings an environmental paradise.

In addition to its geographical advantages, Austria also leads the world in terms of its social and health care system and is considered a particularly safe, prosperous and liveable country.

Despite the above-average prosperity and the comprehensive state social benefits, Villach compares favourably with many international destinations. The "small town bonus" comes into its own here and makes everyday life affordable.
