Learning Goals
Subject-specific skills and competences: Students are able to derive and implement their judgments and actions in general and in relation to business management problems in particular from factually and methodically justified considerations. They strive for the greatest possible objectivity and are also able to cope with stress and conflict situations in a largely analytical and rational manner. This applies both to private-sector companies and to public-sector companies.
Generic competences (Personal and key skills): The students possess the willingness to acquire missing technical and methodological knowledge, activity-specific qualifications and experience through appropriate further training measures or by other means. They are able to learn in an unsolicited and self-organized manner with a high level of voluntary commitment.

Students possess the personal ability to analyze circumstances, contradictions, difficulties and conflicts, on the one hand, in terms of the technical and methodological facts on which they are based and, on the other hand, to determine ways out and solutions based on experience and values.
