The Bachelor's degree course in Economics combines business administration and economics fundamentals to give you a sound understanding of the economy. Economics looks at the economy as a whole, i.e. the interactions between the state, companies, and individuals. Business administration describes a business or company's management, control, and organization. The focus in Bonn is traditionally on economics.
You will learn to examine complex social issues and problems from an economic perspective. This includes the identification of actors, possible economic consequences, and options for action.
