The Faculty of Business Management and Economic is committed to teaching the theory, models and methodology of the various disciplines in Business Management and Economics to the current state of scientific knowledge of each intended qualification (Bachelor, Master, Doctorate). The classes also cover the cultural, social and ecological impact of economic activity and decisions. Particular significance is attached to developing the students’ ability to reason and make judgements based on academic argumentation.

The Faculty of Business Management and Economics provides an academic qualification for a professional career in industry as well as public and private organisations, whereby a clear distinction is made between the types of degree. The first priority is the teaching of fundamental economic knowledge and competences. The ability to make one’s own informed decisions in real-life business situations, including new problem situations, while taking ethical aspects into account, is of great importance. Students are actively encouraged to spend time studying abroad to improve their intercultural awareness and skills.

The Faculty of Business Management and Economics is an integral part of the University, not a separate entity as in the case of private Business Schools. It participates actively in interdisciplinary courses with other faculties such as Business Information Systems, Business Mathematics, China Business and Economics, or European Law. The Faculty is also involved in the Graduate School ‘Law, Economics and Society’. In this way, the Faculty contributes to the interdisciplinary, interfaculty cooperation at the University of Würzburg and to the diversity of its degree courses.
There are a number of specialisations in teaching and research at the University which might perhaps not be regarded as unique in themselves but which taken together, nevertheless give the Faculty of Business Management and Economics a distinctive profile.

These include:

  • Finance, Accounting and Taxation
  • Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Business Information Systems
  • Entrepreneurship and Management, Human Resource Management and Organisation, Marketing
  • Research Centre for Risk Management
  • Economics specialising in the European Economic System
  • Graduate School of Law, Economics and Society
