Program description

Students who pick the BBA Entrepreneurial Business Administration programme and the specialism in Entrepreneurship & FinTech are frequently interested in launching their own businesses at the end of their studies, particularly in the fields of digitization, marketing, and sales. It is a demanding programme that is jam-packed with business and entrepreneurship tasks.

The FinTech-focused specialised modules include 'Introduction to Financial Technology' and 'Introduction to Big Data.' Students finish the core of their entrepreneurial bachelor's degree in the final year with crucial modules such as 'E-Payments & Crypto-currency' and 'Financial Technology Risk Management.'
Students pursuing a FinTech specialisation in the EBA will finish their work experience, business start-ups, and graduation project in the world of entrepreneurial financial technology solutions and business!

The Entrepreneurship programme is designed for students who know they want to start and run their own firms and desire the support and tools that a Bachelor of Entrepreneurship and SME Management degree can provide. Students must have an international perspective and be fluent in English. Students will be ambitious, optimistic, and have excellent general communication abilities. They will be creative, artistic, and conceptual thinkers with strong social networks.

The EBA pathway enables prospective entrepreneurs to more easily adjust to changing environments by applying their learning skills, competencies, and knowledge, hence minimising firm failure. In the event that a company fails, trained entrepreneurs are more likely to ensure its survival than individuals who have not been specifically schooled in the field of entrepreneurship.

Program structure

The Entrepreneurship Bachelor programme is split into three sections:

The Bachelor Programme Entrepreneurial Business Administration is designed for highly driven business students seeking a BBA that combines academic difficulties and application within an intense international setting in which they learn to build their own business.
Students understand that a wide BBA also offers them with a solid foundation from which to begin their employment or extend their academic pursuits, and that it is divided into three phases. The EBA programme is organised around a module / block structure that includes a mix of fundamental business subject modules, specialist subject modules, and practical experience modules. Personal Development Plan, Tutoring, and Foreign Languages are the common threads of skill and competency learning across the programming.

Phase 1 - (Theory)
The first phase is a general freshman year that focuses on textbook theory, which is essential for all relevant management courses. Students attend mixed-discipline lectures (all specialisations together), but are expected to demonstrate their chosen Specialisation field in their essays/papers/project work.

Phase 2 - (From Theory to Planning)
Phase 2 is a different course of modules that are particular to the chosen field as well as more general modules. Year 3's focus is planning, and several modules will be evaluated through cases and planning, such as a Marketing Plan for the module Marketing. The completion of a Business Plan and other particular Entrepreneurship Modules is also included in the year.

Phase 3 - (Towards Strategy and Practice)
Phase 3 modules, or the "Final Year," in which students study strategic management modules, complete their unique Work Preparation Module, and finish the year with their research assignment, the graduation dissertation. Students can also put their Business Plans to the test in Business Start-ups and Business Plan Execution, as well as initiate a full business start-up in their Work Placement module.
