Minor studies, 31 ECTS
- Depending on the individual background, the compulsory minor studies may consist from a variety of choices. For example, students who have not completed any business studies in their previous degree may take the Basic Business Studies module (28 ECTS). Alternatively, the minor (min. 31 ECTS) can be chosen freely from a set of studies on for example statistics, mathematics, information technology or social sciences. However, all graduates in BIF should have basic knowledge either in economics, finance or accounting studies after completing the degree, and hence, the choices regarding the minor studies might also be focused on completing the possibly missing studies in these subject areas. Therefore those students, who have previously completed neither economics nor finance/accounting studies, will be required to choose one compulsory minor and supplementary courses from some study module of these subjects. Especially for them the required supplementary courses will be negotiated with the PSP supervisor.
