Prof. Philipp BerchtoldHead of the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree programme

3Welcome to the Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH). We are very pleased that you are interested in the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration International Programme.

A university degree places justifiably high demands on students. Success in a course of study only comes if you are curious about learning new things and are prepared to put the appropriate effort into acquiring the necessary skills. This requires the commensurate balance between work, life and study. Before beginning your studies consider how much time you will need or want to dedicate to your studies, to any work you may be planning and to leisure time.

Learning is an interactive process. Take the opportunity to exchange ideas with your lecturers and fellow students on what has been learned and on the insights gained, to question, discuss, develop and enhance the skills you acquire as you look to the future.

We consistently align our curriculum content to the subsequent professional needs of graduates by imparting cutting-edge scientific know-ledge. This ensures that when you later become a specialist or manager you can make a significant contribution to your employer’s success.

Nowadays these needs include strong linguistic skills and the ability to work successfully in teams with different cultural backgrounds. Our International Programme allows you the option of completing your Business Administration degree in English international, multicultural classes.

Thank you for your interest and I hope to see you at the Bern University of Applied Sciences.

Each year our Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Interna-tional Programme runs a class with students from Switzerland (national students) and abroad (international students). This mix allows us to create a teaching and learning environment that promotes language and intercultural skills. These two skills, coupled with a bachelor degree – ideally complemented with one or two semesters abroad – mean that our International Programme graduates become coveted employees by Switzerland’s global businesses and other multinational companies.

Profile of Business Administration

What is Business Administration?Business Administration requires sophisticated, interdisciplinary and generalist skills. Its main focus is investigating companies and their interaction with their environment. As a branch of economic science it assumes that resources and assets are fundamentally scarce and accordingly require efficient utilisation. It investigates, describes, explains and addresses economic and business issues from the company perspective and, thanks to its practical orientation, it makes a contribution to supporting and helping companies in various everyday situations.

Skills for professional qualificationOn completing the programme– You will have a firm grasp of the basics of business administration as

well as expert knowledge in your chosen area of specialisation;– You will be able to recognise business issues in practice. You will be

able to analyse these issues, understand their interrelationships and resolve them;

– You will be capable of working efficiently and setting appropriate priorities;

– You will have the ability to reflect on your own behaviour and be able to manage multicultural teams and deal with conflict;

– You will be resilient and capable of adapting to new situations and requirements.

«I like that our students have new ideas, and that they are open to transforming themselves, students keep reinventing themselves, the International Programme gives the chance to see that the world is bigger.»

Alberto Rascon (Mexico), Professor of Finance

7Prospects and fields of work We will prepare you for a career as a specialist or senior executive. The skills taught are geared towards qualifying you as a professional and will allow you, after a brief training period, to take up an appropriate qualified position in business, administration or non-profit organisations. Our graduates work in regional, national and interna-tional service companies, such as banks, insurance companies, trust companies and management consultancies. They have careers in local, cantonal or federal administrations or become involved with nonprofit organisations. Typical example roles are controlling, marketing, human resources, organisation and IT, often at management level.

After your studiesAfter obtaining your bachelors degree, there are a wide variety of career options in a very attractive national and international job market open to you.

A minority of students choose to go on and acquire a consecutive masters at the Bern University of Applied Sciences or another univer-sity at home or abroad.

The vast majority of our graduates find employment after qualifying. Their own professional development and the continuously changing demands of working life often mean they later seek additional further education in the form of a consecutive masters degree, an executive masters programme or some other type of further education. With a bachelors degree you will usually fulfil the entrance requirements for such a course of further education.

Structure of the bachelor programme

Course content

Module groupsThe skills imparted in the curriculum are provided in modules. These are clustered by subject area into the following module groups:– Management, Organisation and Personnel– Accounting, Finance and Tax– Law, Economics, Public Management and Society– Methods– Business Information Systems– Marketing and Communication

Specialisations and bachelor thesisThe degree programme culminates in the final year with a specialisation and a bachelor thesis. You can select one of the following specialisations:– International Business Management (in English) – Banking & Finance (in English)– Accounting & Controlling (in German)– Corporate Communication & Marketing (in German)– Public & Non-profit Management (in German)– Management in Practice: Strategy & Human Resources (in German)

Other specialisations are offered as part of double degree programmes at partner universities.

You also write your bachelor thesis in your final academic year. This provides an in-depth academic review of a problem (usually one of a practical nature) which is ideally written on a topic related to your selected specialisation.

9Full-time studiesThe degree programme has a modular structure, i.e. it consists of individual modules (subjects). Each module is assigned a specific workload. This workload is expressed in ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) credits, whereby one ECTS credit equates to a workload of 30 hours. If a module is assigned 3 ECTS credits, for instance, then classroom lectures (lessons), preparation and follow-up work (self-study) for E-learning units, the preparation of the proof of competence and the proof of competence itself would be considered as a workload of approximately 90 hours.

Full-time studies involves modules each academic year amounting to 60 ECTS credits which means, of course, that full-time studies are comparable to a full-time job with a workload of around 1800 working hours per year.

Full-time studies last for 3 years or 6 semesters.

Face-to-face lectures usually take place from Monday to Friday. Attendance times may differ in the block and examination weeks.

«The BFH International Programme totally fulfilled the wishes that I had for my studies. Completing it in English, studying for a year abroad and coming into contact with international students.»

Annina Gyger (Switzerland), Student in the Bachelor of Science Business Administration International Programme

12 Preparation courses / learning circlesIf you wish to refresh their prior knowledge in business and financial accounting or business mathematics, we offer a preparatory course in the area of accounting in the summer, before studies commence, and, during the first academic year, we hold learning circles in business mathematics.

The goal of both is to refresh knowledge gained from the vocational baccalaureate. The contents are aligned to the bachelor studies.

Elective modulesElective modules are modules that you can attend on a voluntary basis alongside the regular modules on offer.

There are various elective modules currently ranging from Academic Writing in English, SAP Certification through to the Young Entrepreneur Exchange Project.Elective modules can be attended during the regular semesters.

Some elective modules are held in the lesson-free period as summer schools.

Services and supplemental offers for students

«For me, English is part of business and therefore it was a great opportunity for me to study in English. Apart from the fact that you can benefit enormously from a language point of view, you also have a great opportunity to interact positively with international students. »

Lars Wyss (Switzerland), Bachelor of the Business Administration International Programme

13International OfficeThe International Office is responsible for the following activities: – Developing and maintaining relationships with universities abroad– Providing information on exchange and mobility programmes

for students, faculty and staff – Facilitating the integration of international students – Planning and organizing international events– Enhancing the university’s international image

Partner universities / semester abroadThe Bern University of Applied Sciences Business School has numerous partner universities all over the world to enable student exchanges, lecturer exchanges and other joint projects as well as double degree opportunities. Exchanges involve studying one or two semesters (at the most) at another university. The courses you take during your exchange may be credited towards your degree at your home university. You can study at a university which we have a formal agreement with. These agreements may be bilateral between two universities or they may be part of the European ERASMUS (Swiss European mobility) programme. Students may also choose to study at a university of their choice where no agreement is in place. Please confirm requirements with the Interna-tional Office.

14 Studying abroad during your bachelor programme is a fantastic opportu-nity and there are a lot of exciting experiences waiting for students. The International Office supports outgoing students in following areas by: – Ensuring a certain number of study places abroad– Informing students about possibilities to study abroad– Providing information material and support when planning a

semester abroad– Nominating students to our partner institutions– Supporting students during their time abroad – Connecting former exchange students with BFH students interested in

studying abroad

If you are interested in studying abroad the International Office recom-mends you consult the information provided, such as the student handbook and information on the student intranet, as well as attending one of our information events during the semester. These should provide the answers to most of your questions.

Application Process:Students have to submit the application documents online via Move-On. They will then be invited to an interview. The interview (10 minutes) will take place one week after the application deadline. Thereafter the International Office will allocate the study places and confirm them with the successful applicants. You can find details of the application deadlines and download the application forms from the student intranet.

15Double-Degree-ProgrammeThe Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH) has a double degree agreement with the Swedish Linnæus University (LNU), which gives selected students the opportunity to study their final year at LNU and thereby obtaining a degree from both institutions. Linnæus University is located in Kalmar and Växjö. Linnæus University is one of Sweden’s newest higher education institutions and has approxi-mately 40 000 students in 150 degree programmes with 2000 single- subject courses.Students that benefit from this double degree opportunity will not only be granted bachelor degrees from two different universities, but also acquire intercultural and professional knowledge as well as gaining valuable insight into a modern and dynamic business area. Interested students are welcome to apply for the double degree in the 3rd semester. The selection process will include personal interviews. Students (max. 5) are selected before calendar week 51. More informa-tion about the double degree is available on Sharepoint.

«Working with students from different countries and continents, from different systems, cultures and social conditions is both a challenge and an exciting enrichment for me, from which I am learning a lot.»

Aaron Braun (Switzerland), Lecturer for Strategic Management and Business Planning

16 International DaysOnce a year the Business School organizes an International Days Event. We invite guest lecturers from our partner universities.The International Days Event contributes to the internationalization of the curriculum and will offer all students the opportunity to have contact with international guest lecturers. This event falls within the concept of «Internationalisation@home» and targets particularly the non-mobile majority of our students.The approach of the International Days is «Team Teaching» which means that one lecturer from Bern University of Applied Sciences teaches together with one lecturer from our partner universities.This approach aims to– create the possibility to embed the guest lecturer within a current

module of one of our undergraduate programmes (BSc Business Administration, BSc Business Administration International Programme, BSc Business Information Technology).

– strengthen the academic cooperation between the BFH and our partner institutions.

– give students the opportunity to get to know lecturers from partner universities and benefit from their international expertise.

Certificate of Global CompetenceThis certification process gives students the opportunity to show that they are «globally competent individuals». To obtain the certificate, students need to provide evidence of their intercultural competence. Such competence enables you to cooperate more effectively with people from other cultures and thus also to act as a mediator between people from different cultural backgrounds. Not all students acquire the certificate via the same route. Students can align their activities with their personal and professional requirements and with their degree programme. More information is available on the student intranet.

17Career Services We accompany and support interested students with a range of services from the first day of study right through to their graduation via our Career Services– At the beginning of studies (Induction Day)– Dealing with challenges of studying (e.g. self-management or exam

preparation)– Preparing for job applications and interviews

E-learningThe learning platform Moodle is used to exchange information between students and lecturers and complements classroom instruction. Moodle can be used, amongst other things, to organize team work, access module scripts, lecture slides, self-study assignments, to submit papers or complete on-line practice exams.

LibraryThe library has a comprehensive range of business literature. Over 10 000 books, 80 print journals, DVDs, more than 30 000 E-books and 10 000 licensed trade periodicals are available to students around the clock: The library is connected to the network of libraries and information centres in Switzerland (NEBIS).

CafeteriaThe cafeteria is available to students during the semester with a wide range of snacks, lunches and drinks. There are also a number of vending machines to provide snacks outside cafeteria opening hours.

«You aren’t perhaps always totally aware of something like this when you are studying, but once you progress into working life you realise that this course doesn’t just impart theoretical knowledge, but also the ability to apply what you have learned in a professional environment.»

Hauke Krenz (Germany), Bachelor of the Business Administration International Programme, Order Management Specialist at Thomson Reuters

«In the International Programme, you benefit greatly from contact with the international students. You can make new contacts and learn to think internationally. Compared with other students that gives me advantages in the professional world.»

Lara Zaugg (Switzerland), Student in the Bachelor of Science Business Administration International Programme

AlumniThe BFH Business Alumni has over 2000 members and is the umbrella organisation of former and active students of the Business School at Bern University of Applied Sciences.
