"The fact that this is recognized by the students and rated so excellently makes us very happy and spurs us on to maintain this high level."

In all 14 main criteria of the student survey, the ratings in the subject of Economics and Business Administration are – in some cases significantly – above the average of all the universities compared. "We offer very flexible degree programmes with many options," says the Dean of Student Affairs of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Prof. Dr Armin Scholl. "Thanks to intensive supervision and very good organization of courses and exams, students can achieve their desired education with high quality and in a reasonable amount of time, as our top rankings in all study-relevant criteria show."
