4 1. Structure of the Bachelor Program The first five semesters are spent at Nuremberg Institute of Technology at the faculty of Business Administration and linked faculties Electrical Engineering, Precision Engineering, Information Technology, Mechanical Engineering and Building Services Engineering and Applied Mathematics, Physics and Humanities. During the first two semesters the foundations for the program are laid by offering basic classes in International Business, Accounting, Mathematics, Physics and two languages. Starting at semester three the students choose one of the following technical specializations provided by the linked faculties: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Natural Science and Technology and gain detailed knowledge for the following three semesters. Students also continue their education in Business related topics. English language classes and classes in another foreign language as well as classes in Intercultural Communication prepare for international work competence and for the possible time abroad. During the remaining two semesters of the program the students have the possibility to go abroad to study at one of over 65 partner universities of Nuremberg Tech and to do an internship of 16 weeks in an internationally operating company either abroad or in y. It is not mandatory to study abroad, but mandatory to successfully complete an internship. The internship should be divided into two parts at the end of the 6 th semester (semester break) and start of the 7 th semester. During the possible semester abroad or - if they decide to stay in y - at Nuremberg Tech students have to take additional courses (special electives) from their chosen specialization or related to their business studies. Students will be able to choose from a variety of electives depending on their future career plans. With the Bachelor s thesis the study program can be concluded in 7 semesters, awarding the student with 210 ECTS. Stand: Nuremberg Tech Page 4

6 2. Modular Structure of the Degree Program Each module is considered one unit, which can consist of several courses. The weight of each module is determined by the amount of credit points which are assigned to the course(s) within a particular module. The arrangements for the courses in terms of course structure, exam performance, etc. are defined in the Study and Exam Regulations (SPO) of the degree program and summarized in the following table: Stand: Nuremberg Tech Page 6

Potential excursions/guest lectures/offsite can be made mandatory to join or requested to be compensated by an additional assignment which will be determined during the lecture each semester! Lecture, presentations, guest lectures The four pillars of general management (planning, organizing, leading and controlling) will be revisited. Links will be introduced from these four pillars to strategic choices and made apparent through cases. i. By the end of the course the student will have grasped how to develop a strategy. This development process uses an integrated planning and control system. The system affects and steers an organization, both at the strategic and operative levels. ii. Additionally the student will have gained knowledge of how strategy is formulated in the opposite way to the planning approach of ii above. Here strategy will be seen as a craft arising out of incremental experiments. iii. The course will reach its culmination when the student grasps the logic involved in the learning organization, the currently accepted most modern form of management. 1.
