What you will study

In the Economics minor, students gain in-depth knowledge of market and macroeconomic principles, mechanisms, and interrelationships. An important basis for this is an understanding of the decision-theoretical and microeconomic fundamentals of what happens on the goods, labor, and capital markets. In addition, functional mechanisms in these markets, their interdependence at the macroeconomic level, and key objectives and instruments of economic policy, particularly social and environmental policy, are taught.

Career pathways

Graduates of Economics as Minor Subject stand out in business-related fields for their strong knowledge of economics. For example, they can serve as a link between technical and economic areas within a company. Graduates of humanities disciplines in particular benefit from the broader perspective - including economic aspects - and can leverage these additional qualifications to their advantage on the job market.
