Faculty of Society and Economics

Gesellschaft und Ökonomie
The Faculty of Society and Economics is motivated by the social and economic challenges of the 21st century: from energy and resource scarcity; to the digital reshaping of societies; to ongoing demographic shifts and strategies for competitiveness in an increasingly globalised world. On our campus in Kleve, students delve deep into these challenges and more in our degree programmes, which weave together culture, science, industry and region to produce a strongly interdisciplinary and application-oriented education.
