The School of Business and Economics
The School of Business and Economics (former: WiSo) has around 34 chairs and 5,500 students in the fields of Business Administration, Economics, Law, Social Sciences, Business & Education and Business Computer Science. We are forming a new Faculty since 2007 with the Law School in Erlangen. Students pick their subjects from a wide variety of choices offered by the different chairs.
The BA studies should be finished in six semesters; the MA studies usually take another two years. Successfully graduating, the diploma will be hand out to the students. The faculty started its international programms in the 70s, and today has got around one hundred close ties to other business schools all around the world. Since then, our international exchange students have grown to become an integral element of our faculty’s teaching.
