Wirtschaftswissenschaft (Economic Science)

Polyvalent dual major bachelor's degree programme - Major field (teacher education track)

This programme examines how government intervention and market mechanisms interact, from the Social Market Economy to ordoliberalism. The programme combines Business Administration and Economics, offering diverse specialisations. Students gain in-depth knowledge of economic interrelations, political frameworks, and societal issues, enabling critical analysis and understanding of economic processes. The polyvalent Bachelor’s degree opens career paths in teacher education, management consulting, analysis, public administration, or the financial sector. It does not, however, qualify graduates for the practical training phase for vocational school teacher education.
