Study Interdisciplinary
The BSc in Business Administration and Sociology is an interdisciplinary programme combining business and economics with sociology.
Business Administration
The point of focus is achieving an understanding of economic activities in society and organisations by means of business economics and economic sociology. You will learn about various aspects of organisations and their broader economic context.
Sociology
In courses such as ‘Fundamentals of Social Theory’ and ‘Theories of Contemporary Society’ you will be introduced to sociological theories and analytical tools enabling you to understand why people act as they do, and why society and organisations sometimes are stable and at other times under transformation. You will also gain insight into the stability of society and its institutions as well as occurring changes – from an economic and business perspective.
Methods
These courses will teach you to use research tools such as surveys, statistics, interviews, focus group interviews, participant observation, workplace databases and computer simulated ‘what-if’ analyses.
Application
In courses such as ‘Applied Organisational Analysis’ and ‘Evaluation and Assessment’, you will learn how to apply and incorporate the appropriate theories and methods in relevant economic and organisational contexts.
International Learning
Our aim is to train graduates who want to work in the global network society, since there is an increasing demand for people with these skills. With this in mind, international students are an integral part of the programme. We focus on creating an international learning environment with a broad range of students and an international faculty.
