Business Administration – Management of SMEs
The Business Administration – Management of SMEs degree programme (Bachelor of Arts, B.A.) can be combined with a skilled-trades or technical-industrial dual vocational apprenticeship, or with training as a "Kaufmann/-frau für Büromanagement" (office management professional). Standard three-year apprenticeships shortened to two and a half years are particularly well suited to our programme. It is also possible to combine three-and-a-half-year apprenticeships shortened by one year with studies at the BHH. Examples of suitable occupations include joinery, carpentry or horticulture, as well as bakery, confectionery and chef training.

Perspective
Skilled work in many professions requires both demanding practical skills and intensive "knowledge work": in services and industry, alongside the operational tasks there are also complex planning and management duties for which a degree provides better preparation. Conversely, commercial staff and managers in many fields, not just in the trades, also need detailed knowledge of practical professional skilled work.
It is generally expected that digitalisation will further increase the interweaving of practical and cognitive requirements. Although the share of cognitive requirements in vocational training has already risen in many professions, interlinking vocational and academic education enables the development of new competence profiles and leads to better opportunities in the labour market.
