- Economics teaches to investigate and solve economic problems systematically and on a solid methodical basis, i.e. scientifically. While the individual company is at the center of interest in business administration, economics is about understanding the interaction of individuals and companies, explaining the overall economic situation and assessing the scope of economic policy.
- The analytically sound training as an economist qualifies to enter many fields of economics in the private and public sectors. Economists work in companies, associations, economic research institutes, ministries and authorities, universities, in business journalism or in international organizations.
