Faculty of Business and Social Sciences
Society arises and functions essentially from the responsible interaction of community, economy and social issues. We work for and with people at the interfaces and breaking points of society. We train people who take on responsibility - in companies and organizations, in public administration, in hospitals and care facilities, in social and educational institutions.
