Overview -Competent In European Issues - The EU Experts Of The Future

Understand Europe and help to shape it

The Harz University of Applied Sciences is the only place in Germany where a Bachelor of Arts in European Administrative Management is offered. Which developments are currently determining economic policy in Europe? How is the European Union structured? As an expert on Europe in a public institution or company, which regulations do I need to be aware of?  

We offer you a widely diversified degree programme which will qualify you to work in the public sector, private companies or non-governmental organisations (NGOs). What your specialist area will be, you decide yourself, for example through your work placement or your bachelor's thesis.  

An excellent command of languages

An important part of your degree programme is the learning of foreign languages in modern language laboratories. In the third semester at the latest, your English will be so fluent that you can easily take part in discussions on specialist themes. At the same time, you will learn a second foreign language.  

Good support

The excellent support at the Harz University of Applied Sciences provides you with security throughout your entire degree programme. Special information events about work placements and studying abroad, career prospects and questions of financing are available for you to attend in every semester. With the degree programme coordinator, the International Office and your teaching staff, you have direct contacts you can talk to at any time.
