Business Law
Program Goals and Learning Objectives
For reasons of more transparency a task force with representatives of all study programs of the Business School as well as the study programs in Business Administration and Engineering of the School of Engineering, has dealt with the standardized definition of qualification goals. The result was a definition of six competence goals that are identical for all business study programs. Furthermore, one or two profile-specifying competence goals were defined by the faculty members or the academic committee of the study program. These qualification goals define the competence profile of our graduates.
An analysis of job ads and the requested competences on the job applicants confirm that the qualification goals correspond to the requirements in practice. The process of studying and teaching aims at achieving these goals. In addition learning outcomes were defined, which are used in operationalized form for the periodic analysis of goal achievement. According to a systematic plan the learning outcomes are assessed with rubrics and the results are analyzed and discussed by the faculty members and the academic committee.
The objective of this process is the systematic identification of potential for improvements. Specific measures will be derived from that with the goal to optimize the learning process and progress of students.
The following table gives an overview of the competence goals and learning outcomes of the study program.
