Overview

Subject areas and features of the course

The study of economics combines business administration and economics curricula. Business administration deals with the planning, organisation and mathematical representation of concrete decisions and actions in enterprises. The goal is the success of the entrepreneurial activities of the particular company. Economics is concerned with the economic explanation of human activity. Its perspective focuses more on macroeconomics and considers factors such as the business cycle, currency developments, political decisions or the availability of resources. It seeks out legal means from which it derives policy recommendations for economic and political actors.

A particular feature of the Economics and Business Administration degree course at Justus-Liebig-University iis the great flexibility in the content of the study structure:

• The degree course first teaches economic principles, permitting a later focus on business administration or economics or a combination of both disciplines.
• For individual profile building, academic achievements in disciplines other than economics can also be included to a large extent.
