Business administration (Betriebswirtschaftslehre<\/em>, commonly known by the abbreviation BWL) is the most popular course of study in Germany. But what career prospects await graduates with a business degree? In this article, we set out everything you need to know about popular and typical jobs in business!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Business is a classic, evergreen subject. However, there is still a preconception that business programs only attract high numbers of students because a degree in business allows graduates to do \u201canything\u201d and earn plenty of money. So, is there anything to it? We\u2019ve looked into it and can provide an overview of the jobs and salaries business graduates can expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wide-ranging career opportunities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Business graduates have an array of jobs to choose from. Before we look at the most popular professions in more detail, we\u2019d like to tackle a question that young people often grapple with before university and plays a decisive rule in choosing to study business:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there demand for business graduates?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The good news, put simply, is that the answer is: yes! Generally speaking, roles in business offer good future prospects. Ultimately, almost all companies rely on expertise in business and entrepreneurial matters in order to survive and achieve success. As a result, there are various business administration-related roles on the jobs market, in various sectors and in companies of all sizes. The BAP Job Navigator<\/a>, a study of employment trends, estimated that business-related roles accounted for almost 6% of all vacancies (95,176 advertised vacancies) in Germany in February 2022. Business graduates are therefore second-most sought-after on the jobs market, with engineering graduates in first place. There is also considerably higher demand for business graduates than economics graduates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to remember, however, that the fact a business degree offers good career prospects is far from a secret. In fact, it\u2019s one of the reasons more and more students are enrolling on business programs every year. As a result, the competition is fierce. With this in mind, it\u2019s vital to gain practical experience as early as possible and develop a specialism. You could do this by choosing a specific concentration in your bachelor\u2019s studies or completing a specialist master\u2019s program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know?<\/strong>\nAt Munich Business School, our International Business bachelor\u2019s program<\/a> and International Business master\u2019s program<\/a> enable students to choose two concentrations, thereby tailoring their studies to their personal interests and career aspirations. By contrast, our specialist master\u2019s programs in International Marketing and Brand Management<\/a>, Innovation and Entrepreneurship<\/a> and Sports Business and Communication<\/a> are targeted at students who have already decided to deepen their expertise in marketing, innovation or sports business through a master\u2019s degree.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
