The objective of the field of study in Controlling is to provide students with a comprehensive insight into the development and significance of controlling, as well as its contents, techniques, methods and procedures. In addition to the various theoretical perspectives on the derivation and understanding of the essence of controlling, the elementary significance of controlling in practice and theory is also brought out. Building on the knowledge gained, the tools of controlling in operational use are introduced and their use in practice is explained using case studies. Students’ knowledge and skills are developed in the diverse fields of controlling. In the process, the overarching goal is to acquire a comprehensive understanding for the compliance of planned or actual investments with economic efficiency.

The course modules include:

• Theories, Concepts and Tools of Controlling
• Project Controlling
• Investment Controlling

The subject area of consulting aims to familiarise students with selected issues of consulting. In this context, students learn to understand and individually design the phases of the consulting process. Furthermore, the different interests of the consultants and clients involved in the consulting process should be recognised and classified. The students then independently apply the theoretical knowledge they have learnt to the common fields of application of consulting. The aim is to gain the ability to carry out and/or manage a consulting process completely, taking into account the relevant professional, procedural and social aspects, and to be able to acquire any necessary knowledge and skills. In addition, with the help of the quantitative methods and tools, students can use acquired information to derive goals and strategies for the company, as well as implement and realise the necessary changes.

The course modules include:

• General Principles of Consulting
• Processes, Methods and Tools of Consulting
• Seminars with Case Studies

The aim of the degree programme in Business Analytics, Controlling & Consulting is to complement the competencies acquired in a typical Bachelor’s degree programme with relevant subject areas for practice and research. Special attention is paid to the development and application of analytical skills. In order to achieve this, the degree programme has set itself the goal of interlinking the university even more closely with the regional economy. For this purpose, students should be enabled to collaborate closely with cooperating institutions, especially in the areas of business analytics, controlling and consulting
