The career platform Stepstone.de gives an average starting salary of 35,200 euros for career starters with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration degree. At WHU, we do not calculate our own average for our Bachelor graduates, as the vast majority of our students either start a Master's program directly after graduating with a Bachelor's degree or continue their professional orientation in a gap year, initially with internships or an Entrepreneur-in-Residence position. An overview of the first steps after a WHU Bachelor's degree can be found here. Information on starting salaries after a Master's program at WHU can be found here. Basically, you can say that the range of Bachelor's degree of Business Administration salaries is huge. If you start at a start-up in the early stages or found your own company, you can usually not expect as much salary as if you start at a large corporation, as an analyst in investment banking or as a junior consultant in consulting. The range we see among the rather few bachelor's graduates who start their careers directly with a bachelor's degree extends from less than 35,000 to more than 65,000 euros. 

To be able to complete a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration at WHU, you must have the following admission requirements: A university entrance qualification (e.g. IB or A-Levels), advanced English language skills and a 6-week internship.
