During the first two years of the EES programme, compulsory courses include classes in economics, mathematics, statistics and econometrics, foreign languages, business administration, information systems, political science, sociology, and law. On the basis of learning targets agreed upon in advance, the curriculum during the one-year programme abroad is to be professionally oriented, largely corresponding to the students' preferences.
As to the necessary (first) professional qualification, special orientation towards professional fields in the economic domain and nearby disciplines, such as courses in political science and law, are of decisive importance regarding the courses students choose. In this respect, particular significance is attributed to the composition of the entire programme, a sensible combination of accomplishments which have been achieved within the first two years of the programme and studies conducted abroad.
Graduation occurs after completion of the one year of study abroad and a Bachelor's thesis to be written within two months at the end of the three-year programme.

The European Economic Studies (EES) programme prepares students for the requirements of the professional world, which result from globalisation and the European integration process. The programme focuses on economic topics. In addition, the course of studies includes two foreign languages and the possibility of integrating courses from a series of related academic disciplines into the curriculum, according to individual preferences.The Bachelor's programme aims at providing students with core competencies in economics, i.e. macroeconomics, microeconomics, econometrics etc. The interdisciplinary character of the programme encourages students to become better acquainted with related disciplines like business administration, political science, law or sociology. After the Bachelor's programme students will have gained a high-level introduction to economics and related disciplines. Thanks to their compulsory study year abroad, they will have familiarised themselves with other ways of thinking, cultures, and study systems. Moreover, they should be fluent in the two foreign languages chosen. The business- and economics-related contents of the language courses make the language competencies highly applicable.
