Program ambassador
Hi, my name is Vinzent and I started studying Economic and Business Education in the fall semester 2020. Before and during your studies, many questions may come up and decisions have to be made. You can always contact me and I’ll support you in meeting these challenges.
Hello, I’m Jasmin. I've been studying Economic and Business Education with a minor in English since the fall semester 2020. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the master's program or campus life. I’ll be happy to share my experiences with you.
Why I chose this program
The program in Economic and Business Education provides you with the opportunity to pursue a career in business or to become a teacher.
In the bachelor's program, you learn the basics of economics and business administration. Throughout the program, you will focus on business administration and have courses in finance, accounting, and marketing. In the area of economic and business education, you have courses that are relevant to both teaching at schools and working at companies. For example, you learn more about the official regulations on education and continuing education. From the fifth semester on, you will also study an elective subject of your choice, for example, History, English, or Business Informatics. In the master’s program, you will expand your business and pedagogical knowledge and improve your skills in your elective subject.
As you can see, the program offers a wide range of interesting topics. It is a very diverse program that teaches you many different methods in a variety of subjects.
Studying at the University of Mannheim
What’s special about the program?
We decided to study at the University of Mannheim because it has a very good international reputation and many years of experience in research and teaching. We are particularly impressed by the diversity of the program. The combination of economic, educational, and elective subject-specific content allows students to acquire a wide range of knowledge. This is especially helpful if you are not yet sure in which field you would like to work after completing your studies. The campus is located in a beautiful baroque palace in the city center.
From the fifth semester on, you can choose an elective subject (PDF). Once you’re a teacher, the elective subject is the second subject you will teach in addition to the economic subjects. You can choose from around 15 subjects. Mannheim thus offers a large number of elective subjects. They range from Political Science and languages such as Italian or English to Economic Geography and Business Informatics. Some courses are offered in collaboration with the University of Heidelberg.
Extracurricular activities
Besides their studies, students can do many things at the University of Mannheim. The university offers numerous cultural events, a variety of sports, and great student organizations where you can participate and share your ideas on different topics.
The departmental student committee for Economic and Business Education is a group of students from all semesters which deals with the subject-specific concerns of their fellow students. It also organizes different leisure activities, such as the welcome weekends for first-year students or the famous parties in the Schneckenhof.
After graduation
