Bachelor en gestion

> Teaching languages: French / English

The Bachelor in Applied Management degree course provides middle management training with the aim of producing managers who are able to fit seamlessly into operations in the key sectors of Luxembourg’s economy, such as the banking sector, insurance, trust-based business, auditing, accounting services and corporate governance of major industrial and commercial companies as well as small and medium-sized enterprises. The degree incorporates and complements the former DUT (diplôme universitaire de technologie) diploma, which was widely recognised in the world of business (collective agreements in the financial sector of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg).

Organisational structure

The Bachelor in Management provides a balance of academic teaching and applied training which incorporates the specific features of the Luxembourg market. A significant number of teaching units are interchangeable within a common structure, which encompasses the first, second and third semesters. Students have the opportunity of familiarising themselves with the basic principles of management before specialising in one area. Specialisation is on a progressive basis during the fourth and fifth semesters.

• Semesters 1 & 2: joint general training in management
• Semesters 3 & 4: shared classes & partial specialisation in the fields of banking and insurance on the one hand and business-related professions on the other
• Semester 5: introduction to the 3 specialisation options: insurance company management, bank management and corporate management
• Semester 6: placement in a business, as part of which students write a report and subsequently discuss it in a viva voce examination

The three years (six semesters) of the Bachelor course are organised by the University of Luxembourg.
 A mandatory mobility period  of a minimum of one semester at a university abroad is required by the Law on the establishment of the University of Luxembourg. The mobility can be done regarding the semester you initially registered. To facilitate mobility, the University has concluded agreements with host universities.
