Minor in Business Personnel and Organizational Development
The content on this page was translated automatically.
Business Personnel and Organizational Development (BPO) is a minor subject in the Master's degree program in Business Education. It consists of three modules:
- Module 1: Work Organization (14 credits)
- Module 2: Personnel and organizational development (14 credits)
- Module 3: "Practical research/supervision" project with internship (18 credits)
The target group for this minor subject are graduates of the Bachelor's degree course in Business Education who do not wish to enter the teaching profession after completing the Master's degree course, but would like to find employment in personnel development or in in-company training and further education.
The minor subject BPO is chosen instead of the minor subject from the Bachelor's degree program. In exceptional cases, you can also study BPO as a "third" subject. In this case, however, only one minor subject will appear on your degree certificate (the minor subject that you complete first). All other achievements can be found in the overview of achievements.
The module descriptions can be found in the Business Education module handbook .

FAQ
The admission requirements do not differ from those with another minor subject. Admission requirements are generally a completed Bachelor's degree in Business Education with a 5-week school internship and at least 48 weeks of work experience
Admission would only be possible if the first degree was classified as equivalent in terms of content and you can also demonstrate 2 years of professional experience and basic pedagogical knowledge in theory and practice.
After your admission to the Master's in Business Education with a minor in BPO, please make an appointment with the coordinator of the minor in BPO, Markus Wochnik (see above). During this introductory meeting, the general course of studies and any unanswered questions will be discussed.
This is possible under certain conditions. Please discuss this with the minor coordinator.
No. Depending on which of the minor subjects you complete first, this will appear on your degree certificate (Master's). The credits earned in the other minor subject will be listed in the transcript of records.
Possible recognition of courses (if they have not yet been taken into account in the admission procedure for the Master's degree) can be checked in an initial discussion with the minor subject coordinator. As a general rule, if possible, you should attend courses that you have not yet attended in your Bachelor's degree.
You may find courses in the course list for modules 1 and/or 2 that you have already attended in your Bachelor's degree. As a rule, these will not be recognized for Module 1 and/or 2.
The internship (at least 5 weeks) can be completed in HR departments or training and further education institutions, for example. Before you start or accept the internship, please contact the minor subject coordinator to decide on the suitability of your internship placement. The course of the internship and the project work will be discussed in a preliminary internship interview.
