We actively incorporate economic, social and technological developments into teaching. Sustainability is an integral part of the study programme. Students discuss long-term consequences of economic action and political possibilities. Research findings are actively incorporated and students are introduced to the current state of research. Research-, problem- and project-oriented learning approaches complement the traditional teaching formats.

The Faculty is considered one of the leading institutes on economic research in Europe. As is international practice, it is divided into departments along the lines of research and teaching. It offers an English-taught Master´s degree programme that complies with international standards.
