Practical and problem-based orientation: • Enhancement of “hands-on” business compe-
tence is a priority (subject knowledge, me-thodical, social, and personal)
• Education geared towards adults with a rig-orous practical approach
• Problem-based learning is more fun and much more effective
Didactic concept: • Modular structure (Bachelor and Master) • Blended learning (virtual and onsite) • Consistent and competent guidance from
your academic coaches • Modular exams throughout the course of
study • Credit transfer may occur in the following
ways: • by assessing the starting point and the
academic learning goals • through a targeted selection of appro-
priate modules during a qualifying ac-ceptance interview.
• Repetition of already covered course content can be waived if proof of equivalence is presented.
Flexibility: • Study while you work (no loss of income, time
or practical experience) • A program of study that is compatible with
family commitments • Where you live does not affect your study
possibilities • Flexible schedule (ideal for professional ath-
letes, shift-workers, etc.)

Overview of our Degree Pro-grams The University of Applied Management-Ghana Campus offers the following degree programs on Bachelor and Master Level: Bachelor Business Administration (B.A.)
Business Psychology (B.A.) Sports Management (B.A.)
Master Business Psychology (M.A.) Sports Management (M.A.) Master of Business Administration (MBA)
Bachelor/Master Degrees
Within the framework of the Bologna Declara-tion, it was decided already in 1999 to develop a European higher education system offering com-parable degrees to citizens all over Europe in order to promote the development of qualifica-tions that are relevant for the labor market. For this reason, the German government decided to introduce a two-level system (Bachelor/Master) for all universities and advanced technical col-leges. CP (Credit Points)
Credit points represent a performance point-system that expresses numerically the amount of effort required of students to be successful in either modules or single courses. Using this system, students gather the credit points for a program of study that are required in order to obtain the degree. With successful completion of the exam require-ments for each respective course and module, students receive the corresponding credits. As soon as the necessary amount of credit points
has been completed for the desired program of study, the student is eligible to receive the degree. ECTS
The University of Applied Management adheres to the ECTS* (European Credit Transfer System that sets the total load of a full-time student in one year of study to be 60 ECTS credits). This ensures that course credits received are compa-rable, and therefore transferable, whether from other universities to the University of Applied Management, or the other way around. (It should be noted, however, that this does not guarantee that credit will be granted. Whether a university decides to grant or not to grant credit for courses taken at other universities remains a decision that is made by each individual university.) Recognition of Previous Perfor-mance
It is possible that your previous study, training and/or experience can be counted towards your program of study at the University for Applied Management. These courses and/or work experi-ence are part of the online application process.
In discussion with you we will clarify the appro-priate items for credit transfer according to your chosen study program. Afterward, the Exami-nations Office will make the final decision.
* ECTS was developed by the Council of the European Union in order to both introduce a unified process for the accreditation of studies undertaken in foreign countries and to make European programs of studies internationally comparable. The ECTS is currently used by many European universities.
