Wirtschaftsprüfung (Bachelor, dual)
The dual study program covers theory modules from the fundamentals of business administration and economics, auditing, tax and business law, taxation, practical modules as well as soft skills. With regards to contents, the course of study is divided into the basic education in business administration and economics, the specialization, extracurricular and interdisciplinary qualifications and the bachelor thesis. The standard period of study is seven semesters. The scope of study is 210 ECTS credits (hereinafter: credits).
In terms of content and timing, the course of study is determined by the close integration of theory and practice. The students complete their courses and examinations in accordance with the study plan attached in Appendix 2 of the study-specific regulations and complete the practical phases during the periods of time specified therein.
Students may voluntarily complete one semester at a foreign university during the second phase of studies, which is particularly appropriate in the seventh semester. (study abroad)
You can also make individual arrangements with your company to spend time abroad during the practical phases.
The module catalog (see viaCampus) depicts each module with description and its accreditation. Multiple accreditation of the same module is not possible. Other accreditations not depicted in the module catalog are also not possible! In principle, only one successfully completed course with six ECTS credits can be brought into each module.
The offered courses will be published every semester in the course schedule in viaCampus.

A prerequisite for admission to the bachelor thesis is that students have successfully completed creditable study and examination achievements in the amount of, as a rule, at least 75 percent of the credits required for the successful completion of the programme as a whole, less credit points for the bachelor thesis. This corresponds to 126 credits.
Please note that the individual chairs may also have additional requirements for a supervision agreement. Only if you meet these requirements can you be looked after at these chairs. Please check the website of the individual chairs in good time.
Students who wish to write a thesis at the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics must apply for supervision centrally and in due time!
Further notes:
During the second period of their studies, one semester can be completed at a foreign university. The seventh semester is particularly suitable for this.
Please note that the successful completion of all modules from the basic studies is generally required before studying abroad.
The accreditation of study and examination performances, effected at the university abroad, comply with Art 12 general study and examination regulations (ASPO).

Accreditation of study and examination performances immediately with the respective professors is not possible without exceptions! Concerning this matter please pay attention to the entry requirements for applications for the thesis as defined by the chairs.

- Emphasis of the grade for the overall grade: The overall grade of the degree shall be composed from the average grades for the modules required for completion of studies, the thesis, whereby the average shall be formed as weighted by ECTS credits (weighted arithmetic mean). Modules that as study performances have been evaluated with "pass" shall be ignored in calculating the overall grade. The calculation of the overall grade uses the first decimal place behind the decimal point exactly; all further decimal places are ignored, i.e. without rounding.
