International Economics with a Focus on Central and Eastern Europe

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

Economics is the science of examining and solving economic problems systematically and on a sound methodological basis. While business administration focuses on the individual company, economics is about understanding the interaction of individuals and companies, explaining macroeconomic processes and analyzing the scope for economic policy action. International Economics (IVWL) is especially directed at students who are specifically interested in the economic relations of Germany with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. In addition to economic competence, language skills in Central or Eastern European languages will also be taught. The regionally specific perspective beyond economics into either history and cultural studies or political science or law also prepare students for a truly international work assignment. In the first study phase (semesters 1-3), students take foundational courses in economics, business administration, and quantitative foundations; and, in addition, students take courses in a language of Central or Eastern Europe. Alongside the obligatory specialization "International Economics", the second study phase (semesters 4-6) consists primarily of the specialization "Central and Eastern Europe", containing courses which are regionally oriented and come from one of the following three disciplines: History and Cultural Studies, Political Science, Law.
