Master’s Program in Culture and Economy

Our master’s program in Culture and Economy combines the Humanities with Economics. That makes for a unique program of study. You will study either English and American Studies, French Studies, German Studies, History, Spanish Studies, Italian Studies, Media and Communication Studies, or Philosophy as your major – and combine it with Business Administration or Economics as the combination major. Small classes, a high level of personal support, and a high degree of interdisciplinary and multiperspectivity make for an ideal learning environment. Furthermore, you are free to decide what fields of research and professional orientation you would like to focus on.
