Target group
Economics and Business Economics is perfect for students who want to rise to the challenge of seeing beyond the obvious: who want to be international in their outlook and learn to analyze economic and business developments during their studies. Students who will end up holding positions at multinational companies in order to investigate how that company will fare in a given country, students who can explain to national and international organizations how to respond to regional laws and customs.
