Degree Programmes
The Heidelberg Economics programmes combine traditional economic foci, mathematical and statistical methods for understanding economic models and modern economic approaches (e.g. Behavioural and Experimental Economics). In addition, students can gain insights into neighbouring disciplines such as political science and sociology.
Research and Academics
The Alfred Weber Institute for Economics has 14 professorships and is active in all areas of economic research. At the international level, it is particularly visible in the areas of research in economic theory, in particular in Decision and Game theory, experimental economics research and behavioural economics. Furthermore, there are also special research fields in international and development economics as well as an own research centre for environmental economics. This variety of research interests is also mirrored in teaching, resulting in a research-oriented learning and working atmosphere.
