1 Business Administration

Business administration, a subset of the field of economics, deals with the business context

within which individual companies operate and provides information about their structures and

processes. The subject matter covered and researched is derived from issues that face the

various areas of a company. The Bachelor in Business Administration programme gives

students the knowledge and skills needed to find optimal solutions to those issues.

1.1 Content and objectives of the programme

Graduates have competences at level 6 of the German Qualifications Framework respectively

the Bachelor level of the German Qualifications Framework for Higher Education

Qualifications. Their specific formulation as Intended Learning Outcome is:

Graduates…

…understand basic methods and techniques of accounting.

…understand mathematical and statistical methods.

…understand theories and concepts in fundamental and adjoining fields, such as economics,

social sciences or information systems.

…understand business theories and concepts.

…apply disciplinary knowledge to known and unknown problems.

…systemize and specify both literature and data and prepare independently an academic

paper/thesis on a selected topic.

…reflect and evaluate managerial and economic assertions.

…work constructively and cooperatively in teams.

…discuss specific problems in German and English language.

…defend their independently acquired positions and solutions.

…develop an understanding for the effects of economic decisions regarding ecological, social

and ethical aspects.

…independently organise their own work and learning process.

…evaluate their own action processes and identify development potential.

In addition to business administration, the programme includes aspects of economics, social

sciences and other interdisciplinary areas (information systems, law, etc.) and qualifies

graduates for demanding, high-level specialist jobs in business administration that provide

opportunities for promotion to management positions. Job opportunities for graduates are to

be found direct or via trainee programmes in companies in all economic segments, including

manufacturing, trade, logistics, energy, finance, the public sector and the entire service sector.


2

Various areas of commercial activity in industry provide numerous graduate pathways into

employment in case handling and project management after just a short period of induction

training. Potential roles vary depending on functional area and company sector/size.

Increasingly, they are very much project-based as a result of market dynamics. Graduates can

be employed in a wide variety of positions along a company’s business process chain though

their individual skill set and, in some cases, professional experience in the area concerned

play a key role in their ability to find their way around the job. Graduates can find appropriate

employment opportunities in almost all economic sectors and forms of enterprise, assuming

that any necessary specialised or job-specific abilities can be acquired “on the job”, building

on the skills learned on the bachelor programme. All graduates from the Cologne B.Sc. in

Business Administration programme benefit from a strong foundation in theory and typical

patterns of action, covering an exceptionally broad range of functions in the field of business

administration. Analysis of interrelationships between functional areas of businesses and

conceptual understanding of value chains in those areas are key components, which

graduates are capable of expressing in quantitative form too. They are able to express, justify

and discuss business decisions and their own standpoints and recommendations for action

and to use them for problem-solving. In keeping with academic tradition, critical reflection on

their own actions and those of others and the social relevance and responsibility of companies

and business also feature strongly in the graduate profile. In addition, the programme gives

students the opportunity to make choices based on their own future plans, particularly with

regard to the subjects they choose to study.

In addition, students can deepen and expand their specialist knowledge scientifically in an

advanced Master's programme and thus specialise specifically in certain occupational fields.

1.2 Requirements

Successful students will have the following subject-related, methodical and personal strengths

and aptitudes:

good mathematical and analytical skills,

ability to think abstractly and conceptually,

good communication skills in German and English,

ability to perform independent, goal-driven and result-oriented work,

a keen interest in economic issues.

Students with insufficient knowledge in mathematics (e.g. only basic course in high school) are

recommended to attend a preparatory module in mathematics which is offered in blocked form


3

before the regular lectures begin. For further information, have a look in the corresponding

module description.

1.3 Programme structure and sequence

The Bachelor in Business Administration programme carries 180 credit points (CPs). The

standard period of study is six terms and the programme comprises the following subject

categories: The Core and Advanced Section (108 CPs), consisting of basic Business

Administration, Economics and Methods modules, all of which are compulsory. The

Supplementary Section (18 CPs) consists of supplementary and more in-depth modules in

Business Administration and Economics and additional Information Systems and Social

Science modules. The Specialisation Section (30 CPs) consists of the Specialisation Modules,

which can be chosen from a wide range of options in the areas of Business Administration,

Economics and Social Sciences, plus the bachelor seminar. The fourth component is the

“Studium Integrale”, which all bachelor students take and which carries 12 CPs. At the end of

the programme, students write a bachelor thesis (12 CPs).

1.4 Study Abroad Option

The WiSo Faculty offers a broad range of study abroad options within an excellent network of

prestigious partner universities worldwide. The so-called Study Abroad Programme (STAP)

includes ERASMUS exchanges and provides an opportunity for a single-term stay at one of

the WiSo Faculty's partner universities. Successful STAP applicants benefit from direct contact

and organisational support at the partner university as well as support in the organisation of

the semester abroad by the International Relations Center (ZIB WiSo). Additionally, they are

exempt from paying tuition fees there. The range of universities available depends on the

bachelor course in which the student is enrolled – the possible options are listed in the WiSo

https://www.international.wiso.uni-koeln.de/

https://wex-outgoings-wiso.uni-koeln.de/login/auth


4

Exchange (WEX) (access through the student's UoC account only), along with detailed

information on each university.

Every year, in addition to the STAP programme, the WiSo Faculty organises an exclusive

short-term study option WiSo@NYC which takes place in New York City.

In addition to these options offered by the Faculty, bachelor students can also apply for a non-

WiSo exchange, offered by Dezernat 9 – Internationales (Central International Office of the

University of Cologne) within the ‘fakultätsübergreifende Partnerschaften’ framework. Further

possibilities are going abroad as a freemover (i.e. as a student who organises his or her stay

abroad individually) or participating in short courses or summer schools offered under separate

terms and conditions.

1.4.1 The Faculty’s Study Abroad Programme (STAP)

Bachelor students should plan their application for a term abroad at the beginning of their

bachelor studies. The STAP main selection round takes place once a year with application

period between October and December 1st; it allows for an application either for fall term or

spring term of the following academic year. Detailed information on the selection criteria and

the best preparation for a STAP application can be found online in the STAP Bachelor

Application Manual.

If there are still places available after the main selection round has been completed, another

small secondary selection round will be offered between April and June 1st. In this round,

students can only apply for the following summer semester.

http://www.international.wiso.uni-koeln.de/en/outgoing-students/term-abroad/stap-bachelor/


5

1.4.2 Credit transfer options from studies abroad

The WiSo Faculty has put a lot of emphasis on internationalisation in the design of its bachelor

programmes, offering broad credit transfer options for all kinds of study abroad options. Each

bachelor course includes at least one "Studies Abroad" module, with a broad range of courses

suitable for credit transfer. In addition, a single course-to-course credit transfer can be

considered. Moreover, students have the option of crediting courses from the semester abroad

as part of their Studium Integrale.

For any questions regarding credit transfer, students can contact the ZIB WiSo or the WiSo

Credit Transfer Center.

1.5 Module study plan sequence

Due to several factors you need to plan your studies more and more individually. This is caused

for example by the fact that some specialization modules cannot be finished within one term

or are solely offered in the winter or summer term. Thus, the following sequences are only

recommendations, from which you can or have to diverge depending on your individual study

plan.

1.5.1 Study plans including a semester abroad

a) Beginning of Studies: Winter Term

The fifth semester is mostly suitable for studying abroad.

In view of the model study plan sequence and the credit transfer options in the specialization

section (12 CP), in the Studium Integrale (12 CP) as well as in the Supplementary Section (6

CP) the 12 CP Studium Integrale should be positioned in the fifth semester in the case of an

exemplary stay abroad. The Core Module Corporate and Business Ethics can be moved to

the third semester. The Bachelor Seminar is to be planned according to the individual

curriculum. The completion of the Bachelor Seminar has to be planned according to the

individual course of study. If you are planning a semester abroad in the fifth semester, you

should already attend a Bachelor's seminar in a previous semester.

b) Beginning of Studies: Summer Term

The fourth semester is mostly suitable for studying abroad.

In view of the model study plan sequence and the credit transfer options in the specialization

section (12 CP), in the Studium Integrale (12 CP) as well as in the Supplementary Section (6

CP) the 12 CP Studium Integrale as well as the Supplementary Module III should be positioned

in the fourth semester in the case of an exemplary stay abroad. The Core Module Business

Administration III could be moved to the second or third semester whereas the Core Module

Business Administration IV could be placed in the sixth semester.

c) General remarks

For questions about studying abroad the ZIB WiSo is at your disposal.

Additionally, it is always possible not to request a semester on leave (Urlaubssemester) if you

spend a semester abroad such that examinations can be taken upon return to the University

of Cologne (if it is individually feasible).

1.6 Modules with mid-term examinations

Some modules have courses that only run for half a term and usually with twice the normal

number of classes. For these modules, the term is divided into two roughly equal halves. In

the fall, the mid-term usually ends at the beginning of December; in the spring, it is usually in

the middle or at the end of May. Often, the examinations for these courses are held mid-term,

enabling students to reduce their examination load at the end of term.

The information in the campus management system (KLIPS) regarding the dates of courses

and examinations is relevant in this context.

https://www.international.wiso.uni-koeln.de/


9

1.7 Calculation of the overall mark

The marks for each examination are determined by the respective examiners. The overall mark

for the bachelor degree combines the marks for the various sub-categories, weighted based

on the respective number of credit points attainable and each sub-category’s contribution

towards the overall mark for the examinations for which marks are given. The marks for the

sub-categories are calculated as the mean of the examination results in line with the weighting

for each examination in terms of the credit points it contributes to the overall mark for the

examinations in the respective category for which marks are given. If the result of a module

examination is calculated based on several components, the mark is calculated based on a

weighting given in the module description. The overall mark for the degree is calculated as the

weighted arithmetic mean of the marks for the subject categories and the mark for the bachelor

thesis. On the Business Administration programme, the weighting for the contributions to the

overall mark are as follows:

a) Mark for Core and Advanced Section: 108 of 168 CPs

b) Mark for Supplementary Section: 18 of 168 CPs

c) Mark for Specialisation Section: 30 of 168 CPs

d) Mark for Bachelor Thesis: 12 of 168 CPs.

1.8 Modularity

The subject categories on the bachelor programmes are divided into modules, the contents of

which are presented in the module descriptions. The bachelor module catalogue can be viewed

in the download section of the WiSo Student Services (“WiSo-Studienberatungszentrum”)

website. Students who pass the necessary examinations are awarded credit points as proof of

their successful participation in a module. The module examinations are taken at regular

intervals during the programme. Each module consists of various parts and can usually be

completed in one or two terms (see the “Duration” section in the module description). A module

can consist of lectures, exercises and/or tutorials on the same subject. There are also modules

that only comprise one type of class, e.g. a seminar. In some cases, modules offer students a

choice between various courses and they are required to take one or more of them. In these

cases, the examination can consist of two components (written test in course 1 and a term

paper in course 2) or take the form of one, combined examination (a written test covering the

content of courses 1 and 2).

When planning your studies, please remember that not every module is offered every term. To

find out whether a module is being offered, refer to the “Module availability” section of the

module description.

https://www.wiso.uni-koeln.de/de/studium/dokumente-und-medien/


10

The following examples are to be understood exclusively as illustrations of the individual

scenarios; they do not necessarily include modules of the present study programme.

Scenario 1: The module consists of complementary classes on the same

course (e.g. lecture, exercise, tutorial).

Scenario 2: Students are required to take a combination of courses, each of which

ends with its own examination. The CP are awarded once both examinations have

been passed.


11

Scenario 3: Students take a combination of courses and at the end they sit one

examination, covering the content of all of the courses, in order to gain their CPs.

1.9 Rules for failed attempts

Students may retake module examinations that they have failed. The number of attempts is

limited to three per module.

In addition, additional three resit attempts can be granted to students at any point of the

programme. Students who have accumulated at least 140 credit points are granted a further

additional attempt. If a student fails an examination in the three additional attempts and the

extra attempt for students with 140 points or more, they are deemed to have failed the

programme at the final attempt. However, students may only be eligible for additional attempts

beyond the initial three attempts if none of the first three examination attempts were failed due

to cheating or to an offence. If the candidate fails a module examination three times, he or she

will receive a written notification informing him or her of the options available. We recommend

all students who fail the initial three attempts to seek advice from WiSo Student Services

(“WiSo-Studienberatungszentrum”) before embarking upon an additional attempt.

Where a module examination consists of several components, the candidate must obtain a

“bestanden” (pass) mark, or at least an “ausreichend (4,0)“ (sufficient) mark, in all of the

examination components. All components marked “mangelhaft (5,0)” or “nicht bestanden” (fail)

must be retaken.

It is not possible to retake module examinations that have already been passed.

A failed bachelor thesis can be retaken once, with a new topic. Students must register for their

second attempt within six months of the result of their first attempt being announced.


12

1.10 Compulsory attendance of courses

The rules concerning compulsory attendance of courses are laid down in Section 64(2a) of the

“Hochschulzukunftsgesetz” (Higher Education Future Development Act). Consequently, the

rules concerning compulsory attendance laid down in the WiSo Faculty’s examination

regulations no longer apply, which means that attendance is not compulsory for lectures or

seminars.

Nonetheless, the WiSo Faculty does recommend students to attend courses regularly,

particularly seminars. This is also in students’ own interests.

2 Support for students

2.1 Course registration in KLIPS 2.0

KLIPS 2.0 is the central campus management system of the University of Cologne. At the

WiSo faculty, KLIPS 2.0 serves as a student organization tool. Students should use it as an

online course catalogue, for registration and deregistration of courses and examinations, as

well as an overview of the complete study programme and calendar. Information on current

dates and deadlines of the WiSo faculty, as well as video tutorials and FAQs about KLIPS can

be found on the homepage of WiSo-KLIPS-Support. If you have further questions, feel free to

contact WiSo-KLIPS-Support via e-mail ([email protected]). For account questions,

contact the central KLIPS support.

2.2 Exam registration in KLIPS 2.0

Examinations on the various programmes are always managed via KLIPS 2.0. Students must

register for them within specified deadlines. Please note that registration for courses without

restriction on participation via KLIPS and registration for the corresponding module

examinations are two completely separate processes. In the case of courses which are subject

to a restriction on participation, an examination registration is generally only possible if a

registration for the course has been submitted beforehand. Most examinations in written test

form are offered twice per term. Often, this will be to “space out” the dates, i.e. students can

choose the date that best fits their examination schedule. In some cases, however, the second

examination may be a genuine repetition of the first, depending on the department/institute

concerned.

All WiSo Faculty examination candidates are entitled to see their examination papers after they

have been marked. For more information, please visit the WiSo Examination Office website.

2.3 Subject-specific and examination advice

General advice for students, especially regarding study options and programme requirements,

is available from WiSo Student Services (“WiSo-Studienberatungszentrum”) for all

programmes at the WiSo Faculty. The WiSo Student Services also offer subject-specific

recommendations for students’ study plans for the first semester plus information on how the

individual programmes are structured. The WiSo Student Services are also the first place

students should turn to if they have any other questions or problems concerning their studies.

The centre can be contacted by telephone, in person or by email. The opening hours and

contact data can be found on the corresponding webpage.

Subject-specific advice is provided during the designated times by the University’s faculty

members and associated teaching staff (“akademische Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter”)

involved in the teaching on the programme. The designated times are announced by means

of notices in the institutes and on the departments’/institutes’ websites.

Legally binding information concerning examinations and examination procedures is provided

by the WiSo Faculty Examination Office. It also issues transcripts of records in German and

English, ranking certificates and letters of assignment to the appropriate term of the

programme. All the necessary information, contact details and opening hours can be found on

the corresponding webpage.

2.4 Academic Working

To support the academic writing of term and final papers, the University of Cologne offers

various courses to practice the process of academic writing by students. These include:

a) Writing advice/consultation

The Kompetenzzentrum Schreiben, the Professional Center, the Kölner Studierendenwerk and

the programme SchreibArt offer advice as well as courses related to the issues that arise

when writing an academic paper.

b) Literature research

The university library offers various courses especially for researching literature.

c) Text processing and literature administration

The Regionales Rechenzentrum provides courses regarding text processing and literature

administration.

14

Students can register for the courses of the Professional Center and the SchreibArt programme

in the Studium Integrale under „Kompetenzen für das Studium“ (competencies for studies).

There are even more offers made by the WiSo Faculty that can be elected in the Studium

Integrale. Hence, these courses can be credited for your studies.

2.5 Other sources of information and advice

International students who study at the WiSo Faculty for part of their programme can turn to

the International Relations Centre (“Zentrum für Internationale Beziehungen” or “ZIB”) for help

with any questions they have. Cologne University students preparing to study abroad can also

contact the ZIB for support. The Centre also runs a variety of summer schools, short

programmes and Business English courses. The services, courses and people to contact can

be found on the corresponding webpage.

The Faculty’s Credit Transfer Centre (“Zentrum für die Anrechnung auswärtiger Leistungen”)

is responsible for recognising credits accumulated in other institutions. This applies both to

credits students have gained at other higher education institutions in Germany or abroad prior

to studying at the WiSo Faculty, and to (advance) transfer of credits that students plan to

accumulate abroad or have already accumulated abroad as part of a WiSo Faculty programme.

This system eliminates the need to make individual inquiries to departments/institutes and

examination offices. Students can find out everything they need to know about the transfer

process on the corresponding webpage.

The WiSo Career Service offers advice and support for students from the WiSo Faculty looking

for an internship or profession that is right for them. It also helps them as they plan their career

and apply for jobs. In addition, the WiSo Career Service organises seminars, presentations

and special events in cooperation with employers and external and internal experts. It also

works with other partners in the Faculty and the University to support and guide students as

they decide on a career path.

The WiSo IT Service runs regular courses dealing with standard software and field-specific

programs.

In case of study-related or personal difficulties, the psychosocial counselling (“Psycho-Soziale

Beratung”) of the Kölner Studierendenwerk can be called upon. In addition to psychological

and social counselling, it also offers writing and learning counselling and support for pregnant

women and students with children.

As a further offer, there is Nightline Cologne, the listening and information telephone of

students for students. It is available to all students at Cologne universities and colleges.

3.4 Studium Integrale

All of the Faculty’s bachelor programmes include an interdisciplinary component, known as the

Studium Integrale, in which students accumulate 12 credit points. The Studium Integrale is a

university-wide and interdisciplinary component of the courses of study in which academic and

professional competences are imparted. The Studium Integrale has both theoretical and

practical content, enabling students to focus on more academic aspects or topics related to

their future careers enhancing their employability. It aims to teach and develop skills that go

beyond subject-specific knowledge or that are related to basic academic and personal traits:

scientific curiosity, systematic and analytical thinking, and ability to deal with complexity, a

solution-minded outlook plus other abilities such as teamwork and foreign language skills.

The Studium Integrale courses are run jointly by the faculties and the University’s Professional

Centre. They enable students to pursue their own interests in more depth, gain an insight into

other subjects and departments, attend courses dealing with issues of relevance to society,

acquire skills relevant to their future careers and attend language classes. The “Universitas“

segment offers formats especially designed for the Studium Integrale, such as lecture series

on societal issues with related workshops. In addition, the Studium Integrale offers students

assistance with their learning and studying, helping them with such questions as how to write

an academic paper or how to conduct literature reviews. Periods of training abroad and work

experience can also be credited in the Studium Integrale. The Studium Integrale carries 12

credit points in total and formally counts as a module. There is no restriction on the number of

attempts possible for Studium Integrale examinations.

Any credit points attained in the Studium Integrale over and above the 12 credit points specified

in the study structure are shown on the transcript of records.

3.5 Bachelor Thesis

In accordance with Section 21(2) of the Examination Regulations, students must accumulate 12 CPs in the Bachelor Thesis.

Bachelor Thesis Accounting and Taxation 12 E 12 Bachelor Thesis Corporate Development 12 E

Bachelor Thesis Finance 12 E

Bachelor Thesis Supply Chain Management 12 E

Bachelor Thesis Interdisciplinary Business Administration 12 E

Bachelor Thesis General Business Administration 12 E

The bachelor thesis carries 12 CPs and is written at the end of the programme. Its aim is to

illustrate that the candidate is capable of working and reflecting independently on a specific

problem related to the subject matter covered on the programme, using the necessary methods

and within a specified period. On the Business Administration programme, the topic of the

bachelor thesis must reflect the content learned during the programme in one of the

specialisation modules. From the summer semester 2019 onwards, students who have

successfully completed the corresponding Bachelor's seminar in a previous semester will be

considered for the allocation of the Bachelor's thesis. The Bachelor's thesis will then be written

in the same area in which the Bachelor's seminar was taken.

Group bachelor theses can also be permitted if a clear distinction between and assessment of

each candidate’s contribution is possible. Objective criteria that make a clear distinction

possible, such as sections, page numbers or topics, are used to indicate which student made

which contribution. The total workload required of each group member must exceed the

requirements for individual bachelor theses to an appropriate extent. The difficulty and content

of a group thesis must meet the same requirements as for theses undertaken individually and

independently. The contribution made by each individual must meet the requirements for

bachelor theses.

To be allowed to register for the bachelor thesis component, candidates must have acquired at

least 100 credit points; additionally, the Bachelor’s Seminar must be successfully completed. In

line with the number of credit points it carries, the workload allotted for the thesis is 360 hours,

i.e. 12 weeks. Bachelor theses should not be more than 40 pages long. Candidates who have

earned all of the necessary credit points, except for the bachelor thesis, must register within a

period of one year to write their bachelor thesis. Further and more detailed information

concerning bachelor theses can be found in the examination regulations.

2 Module content Cooperatives have specific structural features that have a particular influence on the way

in which they are managed. The main areas in which they differ from profit-oriented

businesses (the main object of study in business administration) are their objectives and

their democratic system of decision-making. Cooperatives are democratic enterprises and

legally mandated to support their members. Rather than maximising the return on capital

employed, the members' gain lies in the fact that they are themselves "users" (customers

or suppliers) of the cooperative. The members manage their affairs through democratic

self-management. These special features of cooperatives’ internal structures pose a challenge in terms of

their management, as will be seen in the issues covered in the module. The module itself

is divided into two parts. One considers the reasons that warrant a specific discipline of

business administration for cooperatives, its situation within business administration at

large, and its main focal points. In other words, it considers cooperatives’ business

administration problems from the management perspective. The other takes a

management-view look at questions related to goals and goal definition, member

motivation, corporate policy, strategic management, marketing, business performance and

corporate governance.

3 Learning objectives Students... ... gain an overview of business administration problems in cooperatives, taking into

account the features specific to the cooperative business form, which constitutes a

particularly varied and widespread subset of cooperative enterprises. ... acquire a fundamental understanding of the special features of the cooperative

business. ... analyse cooperatives' business administration problems.

In the next term, the module continues with the course „Theoretical Foundations of

Service Management “. Here, the focus is on theories and methods from current service

research, which are also critically discussed in relation to the practical contents of the

module. Students gain in-depth knowledge of the theoretical foundations of management

and consumer behavior in services.

Among others, the course covers the following topics: - Service brands - Service processes - Service recovery - Service networks - International marketing in service industries

2 Module content In the course 'Topics in Public Economics' social welfare measures will be introduced and

their application in the assessment of redistributive tax policies will be discussed. Then the

effects of income taxes on employee behaviour and income distribution are examined.

Against the background of the conflict between efficiency and equity, the optimal design of

the income tax rate is examined on the basis of simple formal models. In addition, the

effects of state social insurances (using the example of unemployment insurance) on

consumption smoothing and the behaviour of market participants are examined. Finally,

an introduction is given to the basic theory of tax evasion and the possibilities of

combating it. The course first looks at basic formal models before discussing relevant

empirical findings. In the accompanying seminar, students will present and discuss current

theoretical and empirical research on income tax, unemployment insurance and tax

evasion.

3 Learning objectives Students... ... explain in the course 'Topics in Public Economics' the justifications and goals of state

interventions such as income taxes and state unemployment insurance. ... describe the effects of income taxes and social security on the behaviour of market

participants and the distribution of income, both verbally and within the framework of

simple formal models. ... systematically discuss current fiscal policy proposals on these topics with the help of

simple formal models and beyond. ... work on current scientific articles independently in the context of the associated

seminar, present them and carry out a critical evaluation.
