Study programmes

The study programmes offered by the faculty include undergraduate Bachelor's programmes and subsequent Master's programmes in the central subjects of the faculty: business administration, economics, political science, sociology and statistics.

These are single-subject and multiple-subject programmes that benefit from the faculty's profile, which is characterised by interdisciplinarity.

    How do I make the right choice?

    You are facing an important decision: The choice of your field of study will not only significantly determine the next three to four years, but will also set the course for your future professional life.

    Which degree programme is the right one for me? With five degree programmes, the Bachelor's degree programmes offered by the faculty represent a broad spectrum, ranging from degree programmes with a stronger focus on social sciences to those with a stronger focus on economics.

    Focus of interest: social science

    Can you imagine focusing on the phenomena of people living together in society (theory-based or empirical) in your studies and career? In the social sciences, the structures and functions of social interdependencies of institutions and systems and also their interaction with processes of action and behaviour of the individual (actors) are analysed. If you are interested in this, you should take a closer look at the degree programmes in sociology or political science.

    The Bachelor's programme Computational Economics and Politics is located at the interface between social sciences and economics.

    Focus of interest: Economics

    Do you want to deal more with the economic actions of people and organisations in your studies and career? You will deal with the achievement of economic, social and ecological goals as well as the management decisions necessary for this, also in an international context. If these activities appeal to you, then you should consider the degree programmes European Economic Studies, International Business Administration and Business Administration.
