About the faculty

The tradition of the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences goes right back to the beginning of Kiel University. Nikolaus Martini (1632 – 1713) was a Professor of Political Philosophy and one of the 17 founding professors in 1665. In 1775 the range of disciplines at the university was initially extended by adding a professorship in Economics and Cameral Science (known today as Financial Science). Originally situated in the Faculty of Legal and Political Science, the disciplines of Economics and Social Sciences were ultimately transferred to an independent Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences in 1969.
