Course of studies

[Translate to Englisch:] Studierende am iPad

The course of study comprises a total of seven semesters. After successful completion, you will start your professional life with the title Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.). This qualifies you to work in business, the public sector or independently.

The standard duration of your studies in the Bachelor of Applied Business Psychology is seven semesters, including the practical phase and the Bachelor thesis. Your studies are modularly structured and equipped with a credit point system. The course contents of a module are coordinated thematically and chronologically with regard to the achievement of a partial qualification. If you successfully complete individual modules with an examination, you will be credited a certain number of credit points (ECTS points). A module usually comprises 5 credit points. For the successful completion of your Bachelor's degree, your points account at the end of your studies counts for a total of at least 210 credit points.

As a student, you are expected to work 30 hours per credit point. Your studies are divided into two study sections which document the progress of your studies:

  • the first stage of study (1st to 5th semester)
  • the second stage of studies (6th and 7th semester)

The practical phase and your bachelor thesis are in the second part of the course.
