The first semester starts with two courses providing you with fundamental knowledge in business development and marketing on an advanced level, after which you choose between the general business administration track and the track focusing on business development in the gaming sector.
In the general track, you learn how digitalization and sustainability shape modern business development and marketing, whereas the gaming track equips you with specific knowledge of the gaming sector. The tracks jointly immerse in issues of strategic business development and marketing.
You will complete the program with a degree project worth 15 credits.
