The bachelor programme in economics and business administration prioritises student development and learning. This is expressed through expectations of what the student will acquire in terms of knowledge, skills and competences through the programme and the individual modules.

The course is based on a problem-based learning (PBL) approach, where the student's ability to identify, analyse and make recommendations on concrete and current issues is supported independently and with others through both project and course activities.

PBL is an integral part of the project work and course activities, including lectures, case work, exercises and company collaboration.

Interdisciplinarity, teamwork, individual learning and progression in PBL skills are highly valued in the programme. Student will, independently and in interaction with others, gradually strengthen their ability in order to build and combine practice and theoretically anchored competences in a reflective way.

Furthermore, the student can argue and translate arguments into concrete solutions.

The programme supports PBL progression by strengthening students' problem-oriented, interpersonal, structural and reflective competences. This is done by exploring and gaining experience with different issues, collaborative relationships, project forms and reflection processes.

The aim is that the student's curiosity, motivation and interest in the core business disciplines of the bachelor programme should have the optimal opportunities to be acted upon and fulfilled.

contribute proactively to organising and conducting analyses of key business issues and make propositions as to how to put this knowledge into practice.
