Bachelor’s Degree Program in Business Administration with Specialization in
Politics and Management

Launch your career in the public sector. With Politics and Management, you study an entire sector rather than a single function. You combine business management expertise with current issues in fiscal, social, health, and environmental policy – for a secure and meaningful career start.

Digital transformation, demographic change, sustainability: the public sector offers exciting challenges – and secure prospects. This field requires professionals who think in business terms and understand how policy and economy interact.

You develop competencies for diverse areas of application: public administration, health, energy, transport. What makes this program unique: you don't specialise in a single function but learn different functions within the context of a specific sector – opening up a wide range of career opportunities.

Let us tell you what you will learn if you choose a specialization in Politics and Management, and how you will learn it.

Secure jobs with meaning: the public sector offers excellent employment prospects, high job stability, and flexible working arrangements. You work on socially relevant issues that matter.

Your career paths: public administrations, public enterprises (Swiss Federal Railways, postal services, hospitals), private companies (health, energy, transport), and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and non-profit organisations (NPOs). Versatile deployment within the sector – without being tied to a single function. Rapid advancement opportunities: many graduates assume leadership responsibilities quickly.
