Business
Globalization and digitization are shaping the development of the world economy. What drives our economy? How can companies act in harmony with the environment? One thing is certain: Professions in business are booming.
At RWU, you can of course study Business Administration in the traditional way. However, business know-how can also be combined with the fields of technology or health. These interdisciplinary courses are then called Health Economics, Business Informatics or Industrial Engineering.
After my marketing apprenticeship, I didn't feel sufficiently prepared to enter professional life. That's why I decided to study Business Administration and Management at RWU, in order to deepen my previous knowledge, gain new insights and practical experience and develop personally.Franziska studies Business Administration and Management
As an industrial engineer, I can not only satisfy my technical interest and inner tinkerer, I also have the know-how for the right costing, pricing and marketing.

In addition to Business Administration, I was also interested in health care, so I chose health economics. The special thing about it are the small groups, the proximity to the profs and the many external lecturers who give us insights into practice. This also gives us a good idea of what working life will be like later on.

- human resources or organization,

Possible employers are
- hospitals,
- health insurance companies,

industrial engineering
Industrial engineers are the link between business administration and engineering: They optimize technical processes as well as productivity and profitability. These engineers work in areas such as:
- project or quality management,
- controlling,
- technical purchasing,
- (technical) sales, both nationally and internationally.
business informatics
IT is one of the most important areas of all - nothing works without it these days. Business informatics specialists deal with the planning, development and use of IT for a wide variety of organizations. Accordingly, they work in all sectors:

- education or health,
- administration;
- from management, organization, sales and marketing, development to consulting and training.
Teaching
Another special feature are the so-called PLUS courses. The plus stands for "Plus Lehramt". In addition to technical subjects, these courses also teach didactic skills. The bachelor's degree enables you to enter professional life as an engineer. The subsequent master's degree qualifies you to teach at vocational schools. This possibility exists in the study program Business Informatics PLUS.
