Courses
The FH Aachen Faculty of Business Studies offers a wide range of english taught business courses. Our degree programmes cover the fundamentals of business studies and, at the same time, allow students to deepen their knowledge by choosing a specialisation. Lectures and seminars at the FH Aachen are held in German and in English. Please coordinate with your home university to decide on the number of courses you have to complete during your exchange studies. Students at the FH Aachen, as well as Incoming Students, usually accomplish 30 ECTS per semester (this corresponds roughly to six courses). Bachelor courses are worth 5 ECTS, master courses 6 ECTS.
Bachelor Courses
Please note that bachelor students are not allowed to take master courses.
During the winter term courses out of semester 1 (year 1) and semester 3 (year 2) of the bachelor programme Global Business and Economics are taught. Specialisations of semester 5 (year 3) differ from year to year. Whereas courses of semester 2 (year 1) and semester 4 (year 2) are offered in the summer term only. Please check the programmes study content. As some courses have limited seats, we cannot assure that students can be allocated a place in those classes.
