Economics (B.Sc.)
Your way to become an economist
At the beginning of your studies in economics, you will learn the necessary methodological basics and gain fundamental insights into economics and business administration. In the further course of your studies, you will apply this knowledge to many interesting economic questions:
How do we make our pension insurance systems sustainable? How can income taxation be designed to meet the demands of modern lifestyles and family forms? How must economic and monetary unions, such as the European Union, be designed to be beneficial for all parties involved? What are the right economic policy incentives to achieve our climate goals? Will digitization lead to more inequality? Are the Internet giants becoming too powerful and need to be regulated by the government? What are the consequences of banning risk-based insurance premiums in a public health insurance system?
