Retail Management & Consumer Experience (B. A.)

degree program currently suspended

Like no other branch of industry, retail knows and shapes purchasing and consumer behavior, the lifestyles of customers and sometimes also the innovation efforts of manufacturers.

This is precisely where the Retail Management & Customer Experience degree program is located in terms of content. Students deal with a wide variety of questions, for example: How does high-performance retail work today and in the digital tomorrow? How are consumers' wishes, needs and buying behavior changing? How do megatrends such as digitalization, sustainability, regionality, organic or fair-trade affect customer behavior and how can retailers respond to them?

If you are interested in a sound basic education in business administration, in acquiring appropriate retail-specific qualifications with a high practical and digital relevance, as well as in in-depth knowledge of analyzing and forecasting customer behavior, and perhaps want to become an entrepreneur yourself later on, the Retail Management & Consumer Experience degree program is the right choice for you.

To the Bachelor Application.

Internship

You must complete a basic internship of eight weeks before or at the beginning of your studies and an internship of 20 weeks in the fifth or sixth semester.

Information about knowledge of English

Recommended English language level
In this degree course, some modules are taught in English. Furthermore, it is possible to write seminar papers and final theses in English. This can be an opportunity if the seminar papers and final theses are written in cooperation with international companies. Successful participation in the modules as well as the successful completion of the seminar and final theses requires experience in English at the level of an Internet-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with at least 71 points.

Possibilities to achieve the recommended language level
Students who do not have the recommended language level at the beginning of the study can earn this level during their studies through the offers of the THI Language Centre. This offer includes e.g. Business English, Refresher courses in grammar and spelling, and TOEFL preparation courses. In addition, the THI Language Centre provides individual advice to students on how to improve the English language level.

Dual studies or studies with in-depth practical

The dual studies program enables a combination of practical training elements in a company with the theoretical education provided by the university. There is a choice of either the joint model (academic study + vocational training) or the degree course with vocational experience (academic study + intense practical phases). There is an obvious advantage to students here: practically oriented academic study generally enables a particularly smooth transition from university to the world of work. What is more, the student usually receives financial remuneration from the company concerned.

In the joint model, students may start working at the company several months before the start of the first semester, depending on the company concerned. At the start of the course there is an alternation between theory (during the semester) and practical experience (between semesters and during the practical semesters). In order to embark on a dual studies programme, students have to apply to both a company and to THI (be sure to take note of company application deadlines!).

Please find more information on our dual studies-pages, or check dual cooperation partner companies in our database. Even if no partner company is currently active in this degree programme, you are welcome to contact us.

Job profiles

The well-founded training enables graduates to take on specialist or management tasks in sales. It forms the basis for extraordinary career opportunities as well as interesting, innovative and at the same time challenging fields of activity.

Management positions are possible in the following areas, for example:

  • In digital or stationary retail
  • In direct-to-concumer sales
  • In the sales organization
  • In market research
  • In consulting companies

 

International

We encourage you to make the most of the opportunity of a study trip or internship programme offered by THI in other countries. Our international network consists of more than 150 partner universities as well as numerous international companies, and it is growing constantly worldwide. In this connection, students should feel free to use the THI International Office as a central point of contact.
