We see contemporary Business Administration as an interdisciplinary field. During our programme we touch upon economics, social sciences, and technological disciplines in relation to the theoretical foundations of the business sciences. The aim of the programme is to educate our students to become responsible business leaders and be a force for positive change in the world.
