BSc International Business Administration & Entrepreneurship (Major, English-taught)

About the course

A three-year, English-taught business degree covering management, accounting, finance, marketing and entrepreneurship with an international focus. The major is combined with a minor of your choice (English-taught options include Entrepreneurship, Artificial Intelligence and Economics-related choices), the Leuphana Semester and Complementary Studies. A double-degree option is also listed.

Entry requirements for Irish students

• Germany’s rules (KMK/ZAB on anabin) give Leaving Cert holders direct entry only with the right subjects: six general subjects, including two languages and Maths (at least O5/H6), with at least two Higher Level subjects at H5 or better and the rest at H6/O6 or better. For business and economics you also need Higher Level Maths at H5 or better. Leuphana publishes nothing Ireland-specific, so confirm with the Leuphana Information Office.
• Admission is restricted and uses Leuphana’s own procedure: your school-leaving grade (up to 30 points), the compulsory study skills test (up to 24 extra points) and extracurricular achievements are combined into a ranking list. Check the current rules on the Leuphana admission pages.
• English proof is required. Leuphana accepts a certificate from an English-speaking school that entitles you to study in that country, so the Leaving Cert should normally count; otherwise IELTS Academic 6.5, TOEFL 90 or Cambridge B2 First 175 (or equivalent). Confirm with admissions. No German is required for the major.
