Overview

The Economics program at University of Mannheim is therefore aimed both at those who are interested in a career in business and those who wish to embark on an academic career.

In the introductory phase, advanced knowledge in macro- and microeconomics as well as in econometrics is imparted. The students are thus perfectly prepared to deal with theoretical and empirical work in economics and related fields in an independent, systematic and well-founded manner. In addition, necessary theories and methods for the further course of studies are imparted.

Career opportunities

Economists may be employed wherever an understanding of economic issues is required.

Depending on their specialization, they can work, for example, in ministries and international organizations, in politics, or in the banking and insurance sectors. Administrative departments at federal, state and community institutions, the European Central Bank, the Bundesbank, the Federal Statistical Office, and treasuries and associations are some of the most important employers for economists. In addition, it is possible to work in business consulting or business journalism.

Economists can also pursue a career in academia either in Germany or abroad.
