Volkswirtschaftslehre (Economics)

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

The Economics minor introduces key economic concepts and complements the major by offering insights into economic and societal developments. The programme covers key areas of economics, including micro- and macroeconomics, combining economic questions with analytical methods. Students study topics such as growth, employment, markets, and international monetary policy, with electives allowing in-depth exploration in later semesters. The minor provides foundational economic knowledge that complements the major subject. These skills broaden students’ academic profile and are valuable in professional contexts requiring economic understanding and analytical thinking, such as controlling, marketing, or international organisations.
