Short Description
The work of an economist is extremely varied. Economists deal with the microeconomic and macroeconomic challenges facing businesses, public administration and organisations.
They are involved in activities such as public finance, management and organisation, human resource management, information and operations management, marketing and controlling. Due to wide-ranging interplay, environmental, psychological, political, legal and technological perspectives are also taken into account. Owing to such variety, economics and management opens up exceptionally differentiated and exciting research and employment prospects.
Students receive a theory-based, academic education, enabling them to embark on practical work in the professional world immediately after graduation. For this reason, the theory-based, academic education has a strong practical emphasis.
After completing the Bachelor’s degree after six semesters, graduates are capable of analysing and linking complex economic interrelations.
Areas of Focus
- In a bid to overcome the traditional division between business administration and economics, which is often criticised, the Faculty of Economics and Management at Leibniz Universität Hannover offers a Bachelor’s degree programme in economics and management that integrates both microeconomic and macroeconomic perspectives. For this reason, the areas of specialisation in the fifth and sixth semesters of the Bachelor’s degree programme are business administration and economics.
Students gain a thorough grounding during the first four semesters. Modules include Management, Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, Law and Empirical Economics. Building on this, students can choose modules from other subjects related to business administration and economics in the fifth and sixth semesters to suit their individual interests. A mobility window for a semester abroad, involving a set amount of credit points, is set aside for the fifth semester. Students also have the opportunity to incorporate courses from other areas by taking modules from the Studium Generale. In the sixth semester, two months are devoted to writing the Bachelor’s thesis, which concludes the programme.

Prospective students should have a head for figures, and should be able to analyse and combine information. Since business processes are shaped by people, students also require good social and communication skills. Due to the ever-increasing internationalisation of research and practice, foreign language skills are important but not essential.
The Economics and Management programme is the foundation for all kinds of careers in management, whether in industrial or commercial enterprises, with banks or insurance companies, in tax consultancy or auditing. The degree also qualifies graduates for employment in state administrations, associations, media enterprises and international organisations. Graduates have an extensive overview of the fundamental processes and methods of thought in economics and management, and are capable of applying these, without assistance, to practical situations.
