The city is your campus
Münster is the epitome of a student city. The Aasee, the pubs and clubs of the Kuhviertel, the market on the Domplatz, the harbor - the city offers you the ideal backdrop for three exciting years.
An innovative curriculum.
Your studies in Münster begin in the first year with the basic concepts of economics. For example, you'll learn how wealth is created, all about markets, why inflation exists, and how to analyze data properly.
In the second year, you will apply the concepts you have learned to the most important questions of our time: What can the market economy do and what are its weaknesses? Is the distribution of income in society fair? How can we efficiently limit climate change? Why don't I have a flying car?
In the third year, you can intensively study the aspects of economics that interests you the most. Münster offers you in-depth courses on energy economics, innovation, monetary policy, transport, and much more.
