Annotation
With the Bachelor’s degree in Economics at Duisburg‑Essen University, you will actively shape the economy – in a practical, digital and analytical way. Study Business Administration, Economics, Computer Science and Law and build your individual profile. Due to the penalty point system, you don’t have to be afraid of failed attempts in your studies. You can still switch between Economics and Business Administration late in the degree programme and you do not have to commit to a specialisation, but can instead design your own focus areas.
Admission requirements
