BA Management, Digitalization and Sustainability

• Studying without a high school diploma: The standard period of study of 10 semesters can be shortened by 4 semesters on the basis of vocational training in a recognized profession
• After the 5th semester of attendance (9th semester), the course can be completed with a certificate or after the 6th semester of attendance with a Bachelor of Arts degree

The part-time degree program enables students to continue working. This ensures a high degree of transferability between theory and practice. 

The balanced number of students offers short distances and personal contact with the professors. 

The didactic concept is divided into courses with different teaching formats (seminars, small group discussions, presentations and reflections) as well as virtual learning units with the e-learning platform.

Yes, the course is designed in such a way that you will learn in groups.
An internet platform and multimedia club rooms are available at HNU for this purpose. The group structure has proven its worth and participants also arrange individual study meetings.

We strongly recommend that you coordinate this, because you need understanding supervisors during your studies and you may be aiming for a management position with your current employer later on.

Contact your employer. Some employers support their employees, generally by covering the tuition fees and/or awarding time off for on-campus seminars.

Holidays are necessary. We would, however, ask that you don’t plan your holidays during the on-campus weeks, as this would require you to catch up on large amounts of material. You are required to attend 80% of the on-campus seminars. Please coordinate your holidays with your study group. 

Make use of the knowledge and support within your group and start by asking there. Questions directed to professors will also be answered in a timely fashion.

If students exceed the standard period of study by more than two semesters without passing the basic and orientation examinations by the end of the sixth semester, all examinations not yet taken and therefore the Bachelor's examination are deemed to have been failed for the first time. If students exceed the standard period of study by more than three semesters, the examinations not yet passed and therefore the Bachelor's examination are deemed to have been definitively failed.
