Volkswirtschaftslehre (Economics)

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) – 2 field degree program - Minor Field

We strive for economic growth, efficiency and a high employment rate. However too much growth can lead to a recession, that is, an economic decline. How much growth is good for an economy and what effect do growth and unemployment have on one another? This is what macroeconomics consider. Microeconomics on the other hand studies how individual economic players, such as companies, consumers and banks, affect markets and interact.

If you think that both these fields sound exciting, if you want to give your studies an economic focus, then the minor in Economics on your Bachelor of Arts is the choice for you!
