Major Business Administration

Studying Business Administration

How can the personnel and financial resources of a business be optimally deployed? What distinguishes a successful business from the rest? When is it profitable for a small business to invest in China?  How can regional firms create effective networks?

This just a small selection of the academic questions business administration students ponder during the course of their studies. Anyone interested in these and the many other topics in the study of business administration, is making the right decision to major in business administration. The Leuphana University Lüneburg offers a modern, focus program in business administration that provides students with academic, practical and interdisciplinary capabilities.

During the course of their studies, students can chose from a broad selection of special fields, such as start-up management, environmental and sustainability management, or solving business administrative problems with modern information technology. In addition, students will also learn the foundations of economic theory and law. In practical projects, internships and final Bachelor theses, students can present their academic knowledge, investigate it and connect it with real, concrete problems.
