School of Business and Economics
Founded in 1985 and currently comprising 23 professors and around 60 academic staff, the School of Business and Economics provides degree programmes geared to a wide variety of student interests and needs. One of its main focuses is the Bachelor’s programme in business administration and the the corresponding Master's programme, offering Supply Chain Management, International Management, and Business Information Systems as specialisations.
Another area gaining momentum are programmes in Business Administration and Engineering: the winter semester of 2007/08 saw the introduction of the new Bachelor's programmes; by now, the corresponding Master's programmes have also been launched. The School of Business and Economics shares equal responsibility for these programmes with the university's engineering faculties. Four specialisations are available: mechanical engineering, materials and process engineering, electrical power engineering, and civil engineering.
The School of Business and Economics also offers a master's programme for graduates with degrees in engineering or the natural sciences, and also works with other faculties at RWTH Aachen University to provide students with the training they need to become teachers. For instance, we offer economics and economic and social history as minor subjects for the Bachelor's programmes provided by the Faculty of Arts and Humanities.
The School of Business and Economics covers a broad spectrum of teaching and research. Students can choose from an extensive range of disciplines, including accounting, finance, corporate policy and marketing, technology and innovation management, human resources management, corporate tax management, corporate theory and controlling, entrepreneurship, international management, operations research and business information systems, logistics management, energy economics, macroeconomics, microeconomics, international economic relations, business law, economic and social history, and economics and business education.
When appropriate, teaching and research emphasises an analytical, mathematics-based approach, reflecting the faculty's quantitative orientation.
