Economic Science

Polyvalent dual-major bachelor's degree program - Major field (with secondary-school teaching degree option)


Is it the fault of the economy or politics? Current thinking is dominated by the idea that society is far more productive if the government regulates the economy as little as possible. If this is true, then how far should politics intervene in economic processes? Many concepts have developed out of this question, such as the social market economy or the “Freiburg School”. The social market economy in Germany has two objectives: a free market, but also social balance. Is it possible to achieve both goals at once, or does a free market rule out social balance? At the University of Freiburg in the mid-20th century, academics developed the concept of “Ordoliberalism”: the state creates a framework of order that guarantees economic competition and the freedom of citizens on the market.

 

Do you tend to ponder such economic concepts? Then you should check out the content of this degree program closely!

Maybe you are not yet sure whether you want to teach economics in school, or work in a company, advise the government on economic matters or try your luck in a bank? The polyvalent dual-major Bachelor in Economics can open up opportunities for you in all these careers, making it the Economics degree program with the most wide-ranging prospects. It covers not only the principles of management studies, but also economics, and thus offers diverse possibilities for specialization.

Disclaimer
The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
