Business administration (BWL) achieved top rankings with its master's degree programs in the CHE ranking. The study program comparison of the Center for Higher Education Development (CHE) is, according to its own information, the most comprehensive and detailed ranking of German universities and colleges. Currently, master's degree programs in various economic subjects were evaluated.

Business administration at the University of Trier is represented in the top group in three categories. Top marks were awarded, for example, for study organization. This criterion describes how courses are coordinated and how open access is for students. The ranking also attests to the fact that the business administration department in Trier provides particularly good support for its students during the transition to the master's program. There was another top group place in the category of scientific publications.

"The fact that we are among the top group in terms of publications per professor is clear evidence of our particular research strength," says Prof. Dr. Axel Adam-Müller, spokesman for the BWL. "In addition, our efforts to implement a well thought-out study concept that is demanding in terms of content are bearing fruit, as shown by the very good evaluation of the study organization and the transition to the master's program. At the same time, the results of the ranking are an additional incentive for us to further increase the quality in research and teaching," adds Axel Adam-Müller.

Within the framework of the Erasmus program, FB IV currently has a total of 100 exchange places at 52 universities in 21 countries. This results in a very favorable ratio of students to places. Studying abroad can thus become an integral part of the study program for a large number of students. Further information on the European partners in the ERASMUS program as well as field reports can be found at here.

The Master Européen en Sciences du Travail (European Master in Labor Studies) (MEST/EMLS) is a European, non-accredited postgraduate program which is completed with an additional certificate.

Therefore, subject-specific foreign language skills are increasingly required in the current and future jobs of university graduates. Since the winter semester 1990/91, the FB IV Trier offers a study-accompanying subject-specific foreign language training (FFA) as an additional certificate training in English and French. The subject-specific foreign language training is exclusively reserved for students of FB IV. It comprises a total of 16 semester hours per week and usually lasts four semesters.
