How can data and modern computer science methods be used to better understand markets, companies, and economic policy decisions? This is where the "Economics and Computer Science" degree program comes in. It combines economics with computer science and equips students to analyze complex economic issues using data and to develop well-founded solutions.
During their studies, students gain an in-depth understanding of economic relationships—ranging from the decisions of individual households and businesses to macroeconomic trends. This knowledge is complemented by skills in programming, algorithms, data structures, and data-driven methods. This combination enables graduates to analyze economic processes using modern, data-driven methods.
Unlike business informatics, which primarily deals with IT systems and digital business processes in companies, the "Economics and Computer Science" program focuses on analyzing economic relationships using data and quantitative methods.
The program’s international focus is also a key feature. English-language courses, international faculty, and numerous exchange opportunities specifically prepare students for a globally connected professional world. This interdisciplinary program opens up a wide range of career opportunities for graduates—in business, politics, consulting, the financial sector, as well as in academia and research. In these fields, analytical skills, solid programming knowledge, and the ability to critically analyze complex economic relationships are particularly in demand.
Applications will be accepted until July 15.
