Zrównoważone Zarządzanie Biznesem (B.A.)

The degree program Sustainable Business Administration (B.A.) aims to provide students with the necessary specialist and interdisciplinary knowledge, skills, and methods of business administration, together with the aspects of sustainability, in a first professional qualification.

The program is based on a detailed teaching of scientific and methodological principles in the various areas of accounting, marketing, sustainable management, and economics. This is supplemented by foreign language training. In addition, students have the opportunity to determine their focus in the 4th and 6th semesters. In addition to basic compulsory elective modules in business administration, they can expand their knowledge in the areas of green technologies, climate protection management, sustainability reporting, and sustainable transformation. Current developments in companies, institutions, markets, and job profiles are taken into account.

At the same time, practical relevance is ensured. Students can work in companies, organizations, or administrations as part of internships, seminars, and projects - even over longer periods - to apply the knowledge they have acquired directly. In addition, they expand their language skills and soft skills through group work, communication training, presentations, and other independent teaching contributions. As an alternative to the practical study phase in the 5th semester, a semester abroad at a partner university can be used to deepen intercultural and language skills.

Applied Research

Trier University of Applied Sciences is committed to high-performance and application-oriented research. Thanks to its innovative strength, it has managed to reach and consolidate its position as the university of applied sciences with the highest amount of third-party funding in Rhineland-Palatinate.

In doing so, it distinguishes itself particularly through three future-oriented research areas:

"Applied Material Flow Management" "Intelligent Technologies for Sustainable Development" and "Life Sciences: Medical and Pharmaceutical Technology, and Biotechnology"

Interdisciplinary teams develop future-oriented solutions to the social challenges created by globalization, the digitalization of life and work, climate change, and the associated demands on sustainable energy production and resource management, as well as the challenges posed by an aging society and the increased need for a healthy and secure life. Special meaning is awarded to a combination of sustainability and innovation, which form the basis of this developmental approach.
