Allensbach University of Applied Sciences Konstanz and BFI Tirol stand for high-quality education and training in Germany and Austria. BFI Tirol now offers the opportunity to obtain the established Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Allensbach University.

In a constantly changing world of work, continuous further training and academic qualifications are decisive factors for professional success and advancement. This is because the demands placed on specialists and managers are constantly increasing. Companies are increasingly looking for well-trained employees who not only have practical know-how, but also sound theoretical knowledge. For people with a commercial education, a part-time Bachelor's degree in Business Administration can play a decisive role in advancing their career. Distance learning universities in particular, with their flexibility and innovative teaching methods, are an ideal choice for working professionals.

For this reason, the Allensbach University of Applied Sciences in Constance and the BFI Tirol have concluded a cooperation agreement. Allensbach University is a state-recognized university in the federal state of Baden-Württemberg and offers various part-time Bachelor's and Master's programmes in the field of economics. All courses are accredited and designed as distance learning courses and are also approved by the State Central Office for Distance Learning (ZFU). BFI Tirol is the specialist for vocational adult education and at the same time a leader in the Tyrolean education market. Since its foundation in 1966, BFI Tirol has stood for high-quality education and training. At BFI Tirol, it is also possible to obtain academic qualifications via distance learning - and now learners also have access to the established Bachelor of Business Administration and Management from Allensbach University. The cooperation extends across the 13 different majors in the Bachelor's degree program.

"A Bachelor's degree in economics expands specialist knowledge and provides in-depth knowledge in areas such as business administration, economics, corporate management and finance. These theoretical foundations complement existing practical experience and create a comprehensive understanding of economic relationships and business processes," says Timo Keppler, Chancellor of Allensbach University. In the distance learning course, students learn how to apply complex economic models, analyze markets and make well-founded strategic business decisions. In addition, the program promotes critical thinking and the ability to solve problems systematically, which is invaluable in the dynamic business world. "We are therefore delighted to now be able to offer our programs in Austria through our partner BFI Tirol," continues Timo Keppler.

This is also emphasized by Othmar Tamerl, Managing Director of BFI Tirol: "The combination of practical work experience and academic further education makes graduates particularly attractive to employers. Studying part-time at a distance-learning university such as Allensbach University enables an optimal balance between work, study and life. Thanks to modern digital learning platforms and a wide range of online teaching materials, students can study anywhere and at any time. This flexibility allows Allensbach University to cater to the diverse life situations of its students and thus provide a high-quality academic education."
