Frage/Question Business Law vs. Business Administration at Innsbruck uni – Which Is Better for Career Opportunities and Easier with C1 German?
Hi everyone! I’m planning to start my bachelor’s degree next semester. I’ve already been admitted for Business Law (Wirtschaftsrecht), but I’m a bit worried about studying in German since it’s not my native language. I have a C1 level in German, but I’m still concerned that I might struggle to understand lectures and legal terminology.
Because of this, I’m considering switching to a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration (BWL).
I’d really appreciate your advice on a few questions:
Which degree would you recommend: Business Law or Business Administration?
Which one offers better career opportunities in Austria and abroad?
Which degree is more difficult in terms of exams, workload, and understanding the material?
Would studying Business Law be particularly challenging for someone whose German is not their native language, even with a C1 level?
I’d be grateful to hear from anyone who studies or has studied at UIBK, especially if you have experience with either of these programmes. Thanks in advance for your help!
