The following documents must be enclosed with the request:

  • Bachelor’s diploma/certificate
  • Detailed transcript of records
  • CV
  • GMAT test result*

*Students who obtained their Bachelor’s diploma abroad must submit a GMAT test result with a minimum score of 575.

The examination panel will review your request and conduct an assessment. To be directly admitted to the Master’s program, you must have completed one of the following academic qualifications:

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration (or equivalent) from a recognized university. The Bachelor’s degree must not be more than six years old.
  • Or: a Bachelor’s degree from a recognized university with at least 60 ECTS credits obtained in the field of Business Administration. The Bachelor’s degree must not be more than six years old.

Additional conditions or requirements may be requested (max. 60 ECTS credits), meaning that any academic achievements at Bachelor’s level that are missing must be made up during the Master’s program. Requirements are to be met by the end of the student’s Master’s program and conditions have to be satisfied before the student is admitted to the Master’s program. Please be aware that it can take some time to review your application because it is not always easy to check documents that we receive from abroad. In general, the whole process can take up to four months.

If you have completed a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration (with this degree being not more than six years old), you can be admitted directly to the Master’s program in Business Administration with corresponding requirements of 30 ECTS credits at Bachelor’s level.

With a Bachelor's degree from a Swiss university of applied sciences with at least 60 ECTS credits in the field of Business Administration and an average grade below 5.0, direct admission to the Master's degree program in Business Administration is not possible. Generally, placement into the 5th semester of the Bachelor's program in Business Administration will occur.

Please be aware that it can take some time to review your application because it is not always easy to check documents that we receive from abroad. In general, the whole process can take up to four months.

There are two ways to credit external academic attainments:

a) For students who are not yet enrolled at the University of Bern:

Prospective students should contact the Admissions Office (ZIB), which will clarify the admissions requirements for individual applicants.

  • Detailed transcript of records
  • CV

Please follow the procedure explained in the section ‘Study abroad semester/SEMP’ below to credit academic achievements that have been attained (no matter whether the academic achievements were undertaken at another university in Switzerland or abroad).

The same procedure applies for students from abroad. However, in this case, the documents required must be sent to the Admissions Office instead of the examination panel.

The address is:

University of Bern
Admissions Office
Hochschulstrasse 4
CH-3012 Bern

b) For students who are already enrolled at the University of Bern:

Please consult the section ‘Study abroad semester/SEMP’

In order to be admitted to the Master’s programs in Business Administration and Business and Economics, applicants who have undertaken their academic education overseas must submit an original (or a validated copy) of the GMAT test result with a minimum score of 575. The test results must be included in the application portfolio. It is not possible to complete the GMAT test subsequently, i.e. to submit the test results at a later point. (cf. application documents).

Additional requirements (‘Auflagen’) may be requested for the Master’s programs in BA, B&Ec or B&L. Requirements must not exceed the maximum scope of 60 ECTS credits and are to be met by the end of the student’s Master’s program. However, the mark for the requirements at Bachelor’s level that have been completed will not be credited to the Master’s degree.

General information about the courses

Business Administration deals with the different functions of a business or a company, such as marketing and sales, accounting and finance, business information systems and human resources. It focusses on the individual areas of responsibility with a company and explores how a business interacts with its environment.

Economics deals with relationships across the economy as a whole and, as a result, examines how individual players interact within the various markets. For instance, economics addresses the question as to what happens to customers’ willingness to pay when the company Migros changes their prices. 

The degree programs in Business Administration, both at Bachelor’s and Master’s level, are full-time courses, in principle. Teaching takes place on weekdays and there are usually no evening or weekend lectures, as would be the case in certain part-time degree programs at universities of applied sciences, for example. However, due to the high degree of flexibility in terms of the sequence of courses, students have the opportunity to plan their degree program in a way that allows them to take up part-time employment alongside their studies.

In general, we recommend that students start their Bachelor’s degree program in the fall semester, since some of the courses offered in the spring semester complement courses offered in the fall semester. However, with the approval of the Dean’s Office of the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences, it is possible to start in the spring semester. In this case, students can postpone complementary courses from the introductory year (i.e. Mathematics I + II and Statistics I+ II) to the subsequent fall semester. Instead, students can complete courses for their minor program(s) so they can still obtain 30 ECTS credits per semester.

It is possible to start the Master’s degree program in either the fall or spring semester.

Students can request a leave of absence if they are completely unable to attend courses for at least four weeks. Acceptable reasons for a leave of absence may be illness, pregnancy/parenthood, military service or study-related internships outside the plan of studies. Please note the detailed information on deadlines, fees and conditions: 

At Bachelor’s level, students need an extension of their period of study from the 10th semester onwards. At Master’s level, students require an extension of their period of study from the 8th semester onwards. To file this, please send this request to the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences.

Bachelor’s course planning

The introductory year (first year of the program) consists of interdisciplinary courses in business administration, economics, social sciences, law, mathematics and statistics. The timetable for the first year of the program is fixed and all students complete the same courses. As a result, it is not possible to select elective courses at this stage. Since the introductory year is of a similar structure for all the degree programs offered by the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences, it is easy to switch between the three degree programs of Business Administration, Economics and Social Sciences.

The introductory year is completed when all the required courses, amounting to a total of 60 ECTS credits, have been undertaken. It is advisable that students do not undertake any subjects for their minor programs in this first year of study, as this is not the intended structure.

Students receive an interim transcript once the introductory year has been successfully completed. The grades obtained in the introductory year count towards the student’s overall grade for the Bachelor’s degree.

Click here to find further information regarding the introductory year (timetables, examination dates, online registration, lecture hall allocation and examination results).

The main study program includes the following components:

  • Compulsory subjects in Business Administration (43.5 ECTS credits),
  • A proseminar (4 ECTS credits), which provides good preparation for the compulsory Bachelor’s thesis (10 ECTS credits), as well as
  • A compulsory business-related internship (6 ECTS credits) lasting a minimum of 12 weeks full-time (100%).
  • Depending on the structure of the Bachelor’s degree program that has been chosen, up to 26.5 ECTS credits of elective courses can be added to the study program. They can be freely selected from the non-compulsory business administration courses on offer at Bachelor’s level.
  • The main study program is to be completed with at least one minor, and no more than three, totaling 30 to 60 ECTS credits.

During the main study period, the sequence of the required courses is flexible: it is up to the student to choose when to complete them. As a result, each student can decide in which semester they want to complete which course. In each semester, students can also decide for themselves how many – and which – courses they want to complete for their major and their minor(s).

In general, registration for proseminars is open for approximately two weeks, starting in late October/early November (for the spring semester) and late March (for the fall semester). All students majoring in Business Administration will receive an email with a corresponding link to the registration form shortly before the registration period starts. Students should first find out about the content of the proseminars on offer: the time at which they register will have no impact on their allocation. Once the registration form has been submitted, students will receive a confirmation email from proseminar.bwl@unibe.ch

The final proseminar allocations will be announced via email after the registration deadline and can be accessed on the website of the Departmental Staff Office.

It is important to note that students who drop a proseminar midway through will receive a grade of 1. If a student re-registers for a proseminar in another semester, this registration will be treated as a lower priority. Students who have not yet attended a proseminar will be considered first.

As a rule, students have to complete a proseminar prior to starting their thesis project, as this serves as preparation for writing academic papers. The requirements and the procedure for the Bachelor’s thesis are determined by the institutes/departments in which the thesis is written. We recommend that students check the websites of the relevant institutes to obtain further details about requirements and other information.

Students who are already enrolled at the University of Bern and would like to change their study program/field of study need to do this by the deadline via self-service as part of semester registration. In case of doubt, you should contact the Admissions Office.

In line with this, you can increase your Business Administration major from 120 ECTS credits to 150 ECTS credits at any time. Students can even attend elective courses (up to 26.5 ECTS credits) in the field of Business Administration if the structure of their study program has not yet been officially adjusted. All the completed electives can be stored on the clipboard on CTS. As soon as the structure of the study program has been adjusted, the completed electives can be moved to the relevant blocks.

For the minor ‘required elective courses’, students can study any courses offered across the entire university. The only rule is that the courses must not be part of any of their chosen major and minor programs. This means that students cannot complete any courses offered at the institutes in which they are already completing their major and minor study programs.

Required elective courses are marked accordingly in the electronic course catalog (CTS). To find them, please visit CTS, click on ‘advanced search’, select the relevant faculty, institute and semester and check ‘crediting as optional course’.

Yes. You can complete pre-emptive Master’s credits (vorgezogene Masterleistungen) in the last semester of your Bachelor’s study program, if you have already accumulated at least 150 ECTS credits across your entire course of study. You cannot complete Master’s courses while being enrolled at Bachelor’s level for more than one semester. On CTS, you can store completed Master’s courses on the clipboard. You will be able to move them to the relevant blocks once you are enrolled at Master’s level.

Once you have completed all the requirements for your study program, you need to contact the Dean’s Office of the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences. If all the requirements have been met, students must apply for their diploma from the Dean’s Office. In order to do so, all the application documents must arrive at the Dean’s Office by the deadline (including a completed application form with original signature). Applications sent via email will not be accepted. Please click here to find more information about the application process.

Master’s degree planning according to plan of studies Business Administration 2015

The Master’s program in Business Administration is a mono program which comprises 90 ECTS credits. It includes the following elements:

Compulsory electives (42-60 ECTS credits)

  • 4-6 topic modules (36-54 ECTS credits) (refer to Appendix 1)
  • Seminar (6 ECTS credits)

Electives: (10-28 ECTS credits)

  • Elective module
  • Optional non-BA courses (max. 9 ECTS credits)

Compulsory element (20 ECTS credits)

  • Master’s thesis (20 ECTS credits)

To complete the Master’s program, students are required to complete a minimum of 4 topic modules, a seminar, courses amounting to 10 ECTS credits in the elective module, and the Master’s thesis. The elective module does NOT count as a topic module.

It is not compulsory to choose a specialization. Students are free to choose a specialization that is listed in Appendix 2 of the SP M Sc BWL. Students who choose a specialization will move the completed courses to the blocks in question on CTS (KSL).

Yes, you can change your specialization during your studies. Please check the requirements for successfully completing your new specialization.

All the courses (lectures as well as seminars) which are offered in the field in question count as compulsory electives within the specialization, no matter whether they are lectures or seminars.

You do not have to write your Master’s thesis within your chosen specialization. You are not obliged to write your Master’s thesis within your chosen specialization, but you are not entitled to do so, either.

A topic module is classed as failed when you receive an inadequate grade for a course within it, even after the second attempt. In this case, students have to complete another topic module. If the failed topic module was part of a specialization, students cannot complete their studies in this specific specialization. However, in both cases, students will not be expelled from the study program.

Courses which have already been completed as part of the topic module can be credited as compulsory electives.

Many courses at Master’s level can be credited as optional non-BA courses. In general, Master’s students in Business Administration need to obtain approval for non-BA courses. If the non-BA course requires certain prerequisites, these have to be fulfilled and the individual accreditation can be processed by making a formal request to the examination panel of the Dean’s Office. The tree search on CTS provides an up-to-date list with all the approved non-BA courses. If students are interested in adding further non-BA courses to the list, they should contact the Academic Student Advice with a specific suggestion.

A total of 9 ECTS credits will count towards the study program, even if all the optional non-BA courses that have been selected encompass more than 9 ECTS credits. For example, if you attend two non-BA courses amounting to 6 ECTS credits each, you have to obtain 3 ‘additional’ ECTS credits within the study program, meaning that you will complete your studies with a total of 93 ECTS credits.

Prior to starting the Master’s thesis, you should have completed academic attainments amounting to 45 ECTS credits, at least. Students are expected to consult the institutes in question (or their websites) well in advance regarding requirements, regulations and the writing process. The institutes may define additional requirements for the Master’s thesis.

Once you have completed all the requirements for your study program, you need to contact the Dean’s Office of the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences. If all the requirements have been met, students must apply for their diploma from the Dean’s Office. In order to do so, all the application documents must arrive at the Dean’s office by the deadline (including a completed application form with original signature). Applications sent via email will not be accepted. Please click here to find more information about the application process.

Internship

Yes, the internship is an integral part of the major study program in Business Administration at Bachelor’s level (cf. BWL-Studienplan 2007, Bachelorstufe, Art. 12). Students minoring in Business Administration cannot complete an internship as part of their study program.

The application and accreditation procedure is described in detail on the Business Administration website in the section ‘Registration and accreditation of internships

In general, you must register your internship before it actually starts. However, we make an exception if you completed the internship prior to starting your studies. In this case, it is possible to request subsequent accreditation, if the internship meets all the additional formal requirements.

The internship must meet all the additional formal requirements:

  • The internship must last a minimum of 12 weeks full-time (100%). For every reduction in working hours of 10%, 2.4 weeks must be added to the overall duration of the internship. The minimum degree of employment is 50%, with the duration of the internship being extended accordingly (24 weeks).
  • The activity must be clearly related to the field of Business Administration.

If all the requirements have been met, the internship can be subsequently credited via a formal request. In order to do so, the following documents must be submitted to the Departmental Staff Office:

  • Request addressed to the Departmental Staff Office
  • Registration and accreditation form
  • A brief description of the activity undertaken (job ad/job description, employment contract and/or a brief description written by the student and signed by the employer)
  • Internship Report with the student’s original signature and that of their superior
  • Your current transcript of records

Military service is creditable as an internship, if all the formal requirements are met. Attendance at recruit school and officers’ school cannot be credited.

Students may be given an exemption from the internship if they provide valid evidence that an internship could not be obtained due to the situation on the labor markets, even though they went to sufficient efforts to do so. For this purpose, a request must be written to the examination panel.

Yes, it is possible to complete the internship abroad. For more information, please contact studienberatung.bwl@unibe.ch.

Study abroad semester

Business Administration students at the University of Bern have various opportunities to complete some of their academic attainments at other recognized universities in Switzerland or abroad:

Important information about study abroad semesters is available on the Department of Business Administration’s website (see ‘Mobility and exchanges – Outgoing’)

The number of ECTS credits that can be credited to a Bachelor’s or Master’s program is capped. In Business Administration, you can usually receive accreditation for a max. of 30 ECTS credits (major), or 50% of the ECTS credits to be gained in Business Administration (minor). Only Business Administration courses can be credited to the Business Administration program. It is not possible to receive accreditation for language courses.

Students are recommended to complete a Learning Agreement and submit it with the following documents to the Departmental Staff Office prior to their departure:

  • Personal Registration Form
  • Brief description of the courses listed, including a level classification (Bachelor’s or Master’s level)
  • Conversion scale for ECTS credits (if the host university does not use ECTS credits)
  • Conversion scale for grades from the host university

External academic attainments are deemed to be equivalent to a course taught in Bern if the course content is largely the same. When in doubt, the lecturer who offers the course in question at the University of Bern will decide whether they are equivalent. The number of ECTS credits credited from an equivalent external course is capped at the number of ECTS credits that a student would receive if they took the identical course at the University of Bern. If an externally completed course is equivalent to a course offered at the University of Bern, the external course can only be credited as long as the equivalent course offered in Bern has not yet been completed.

Upon returning from their stay abroad, students must complete the accreditation form and submit it to the Departmental Staff Office, enclosing the following documents:

  • Copy of the transcript of records/grades sheet from the host university
  • Conversion scale for ECTS credits: if the host university does not use the ECTS grading scale, the following details (with the relevant sources) must be submitted:
    • How many credits are required to complete the degree in question at the host university?
    • What is the standard duration of study for the degree in question at the host university? (in semesters or trimesters)?
    • What is the duration of a semester or trimester at the host university?
  • Conversion scale for grades
  • In the event that a Learning Agreement was not submitted to the Departmental Staff Office before departure, please submit the following documents, as well:
    • Brief descriptions of the courses listed incl. a level classification (Bachelor’s/Master’s)

The Departmental Staff Office will check the documents that have been submitted and will offer a suggestion for accreditation. Once students receive their original transcript of records, it must be presented to the Dean’s Office of the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences. For more information relating to the verification of the transcript of records, please consult the Dean’s Office.

Minor in Business Administration

According to the regulations (WISO-Reglement 2006), Business Administration can be studied in a Bachelor’s minor program that encompasses either 15, 30 or 60 ECTS credits (cf. RSL WISO 2006).

The five business administration courses from the introductory year (15 ECTS credits) are compulsory for all minor programs:

  • Introduction to Management (3 ECTS)
  • Introduction in Information Systems (3 ECTS)
  • Introduction to Marketing (3 ECTS)
  • Introduction to Financial Management and Accounting (3 ECTS)
  • Financial Accounting I - Fundamentals (3 ECTS)

As a result, students who wish to complete a minor in Business Administration encompassing 15 ECTS credits will only complete the five compulsory business administration courses from the introductory year.

For a minor program amounting to 30 ECTS credits, the five business administration courses from the introductory year (15 ECTS credits) are compulsory. The remaining 15 ECTS credits are to be completed by selecting courses from the rest of the Bachelor’s lecture program for Business Administration (cf. BWL-Studienplan 2007, Bachelorstufe, Art. 19, Abs. 3).

Students who wish to obtain the minor in Business Administration encompassing 60 ECTS credits must complete the following compulsory courses (18 ECTS credits), in addition to the 15 ECTS credits for the business administration courses from the introductory year (cf. BWL-Studienplan 2007 Art. 19 Abs. 2):

  • Financial Reporting (4.5 ECTS)
  • Kostenrechnung (3 ECTS)
  • Grundlagen des Markenmanagements (4.5 ECTS)
  • Human Resource Management and Organization (6 ECTS)

The remaining 27 ECTS credits are to be completed in the form of courses that students are free to select from the rest of the Bachelor’s lecture program for Business Administration (cf. BWL-Studienplan 2007, Bachelorstufe, Art. 19, Abs. 3).

According to the Business Administration study plan 2007 (BWL-Studienplan 2007), the minor program in Business Information Systems encompasses either 15 or 30 ECTS credits. (cf. BWL-Studienplan 2007, Bachelorstufe, Art. 20). However, this minor program is only available to students who are not majoring in Business Administration.

The minor degree program in Business Information Systems encompassing 30 ECTS credits comprises the following compulsory courses:

Introductory courses (12 ECTS credits):

  • Introduction to Management
  • Introduction in Information Systems
  • Introduction to Marketing
  • Introduction to Financial Management and Accounting

In addition, at least 12 ECTS credits are to be completed by undertaking courses that students are free to select from the rest of the lecture program for Business Information Systems. Furthermore, 6 ECTS credits must be completed in the form of courses to be freely selected from the rest of the lecture program for Business Administration (not Business Information Systems).

The minor degree program in Business Information Systems amounting to a total of 15 ECTS credits comprises the following compulsory subjects:

Introductory course (3 ECTS credits):

  • Introduction to Information Systems

In addition, 12 ECTS credits are to be completed by undertaking courses that students are free to select from the rest of the lecture program for Business Information Systems.

The Department of Business Administration offers a minor in Business Administration (30 ECTS credits) at Master’s level. To study the minor program at Master’s level, students are required to have previously completed the minor program at Bachelor’s level, encompassing at least 30 ECTS credits (cf. BWL-Studienplan 2014, Masterstufe, Art. 19).

The minor program at Master’s level encompasses at least one topic module as a compulsory elective. To reach 30 ECTS credits, the remaining credits are to be completed by selecting elective courses from the rest of the lecture program.

The Department of Business Administration offers a minor in Business Information Systems (30 ECTS credits) at Master’s level. In order to be admitted to the minor program, a minor program in either Business Information Systems or Business Administration amounting to at least 30 ECTS credits must have been completed at Bachelor’s level (cf. BWL-Studienplan 2014, Masterstufe, Art. 25). 

Students are required to complete at least one topic module in Business Information Systems consisting of 9 - 13.5 ECTS credits as a compulsory elective (refer to Appendix 1). To reach 30 ECTS credits, the remaining amount is to be completed by selecting elective courses from the rest of the lecture program for Business Information Systems.

No, there is no timetable for students minoring in Business Administration. Timetables must be individually compiled by each student. Please have a look at the overview of the lecture program and further information when planning your studies.

Examinations

Examinations usually take place at the end of each semester. The first examination period for the fall semester starts at the beginning of January. The second examination period for the fall semester usually takes place in the week before the new semester starts in February. The first examination period for the spring semester starts in June while the second examination period for the spring semester usually takes place in the week before the new semester starts in September.

Registration and deregistration are carried out via CTS: please note the de-/registration deadlines. It is possible to register for an exam and to deregister again at a later point in time, as long as you respect the deadlines in question.

Students who deregister for the first examination date are not automatically deregistered for the second examination date.

Short-notice deregistrations from examinations due to health reasons are to be directly reported to the institute/department conducting the exam (and a medical certificate should be provided). An unexcused absence will be classed as an attempted examination and will result in a grade of 1.

Students have a right to view the script for each examination they have taken. Examination script viewings are organized by the relevant institutes/departments. Students will be informed of the process and must register individually to view their examination scripts.

A Bachelor’s degree is deemed to have been completed when all the exams have been passed with a minimum grade of 4. The weighted average of the individual grades will count towards the overall grade achieved in the course of study.

However, in the introductory year, students taking the major can compensate for up to two inadequate examination grades (grade < 4.0) with other examination results that received adequate grades (grade > 4.0). The weighted average of the individual grades of all the academic attainments must be at least 4.25 (an average of 4.0 counts as inadequate, in this case), cf. RSL WISO 2006, Art. 15). Students who passed all the exams in the introductory year with a grade > 4.0 pass the introductory year with a minimum overall grade of 4.0.

There is no way to compensate for inadequate grades in the main study program. Students are allowed to retake each compulsory course twice (three exam attempts in total). The remaining courses (freely selectable Business Administration courses or courses from the minor program) can only be retaken once (two exam attempts in total), cf. RSL WISO 2006, Art. 18).

In the introductory year, students will be expelled from the study program if they have more than two inadequate grades, or if they have exactly two inadequate grades but do not reach the required overall grade of 4.25, which is why they cannot compensate for their inadequate grades.

In the main study program, students are excluded from their program if they fail compulsory courses on their third attempt.

According to the regulations (cf. WISO-Reglement 2006), students can only compensate for inadequate grades in the introductory year. In this year, the grade achieved in the last examination attempt will count towards the overall grade.

Regulations

Students who started their Bachelor’s study program in the fall semester 2007, or later, are studying in accordance with the ‘WISO-Reglement 2006’ and the associated ‘BWL-Studienplan 2007’.

For minor students, the authoritative regulation is determined by the date of the first examination attempt. It does not matter whether the first examination attempt is in the field of Business Administration or in another field of the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences (e.g. Economics). In general, students study in accordance with the ‘WISO-Reglement 2006/Studienplan 2007’.

>>Regulations

 

Students who started their Master’s degree in the fall semester 2015, or later (according to the registration form), are studying in accordance with the ‘WISO-Reglement 2006’ and the associated ‘BWL-Studienplan 2014’.

The same regulations apply to minor study programs.
