BBE Specializations in Economics
Our Department offers 2 specializations in Economics:
Economics Core and Economics Fields
Why specializations in Economics?
We are happy to provide supervision for Bachelor-thesis on the basis of successful participation in field courses.
Students who are interested in achieving a primer in economics can study the Core in isolation (20 ECTS).
Students who want to achieve expert knowledge in economics should study both Core + Fields (40 ECTS).
(Note: If you intend to proceed your education with a Master's degree in Economics later, we strongly advise you to study both Core +Fields.)
Based on our extensive experience in teaching economics, we advise you…
…not to take any field courses prior to completing the relevant courses of the Foundations (i.e., Foundations in Microeconomics +Foundations in Macroeconomics + Quantitative Methods I) and the following three courses of the Core: Adv. Micro + Adv. Macro + Econometrics I.
…to take Advanced Microeconomics only after having completed Foundations in Microeconomics and to take Advanced Macroeconomics only after having completed Foundations in Macroeconomics.
