Excellence, relevance and responsibility in education and science

With around 4,000 students and 200 researchers, the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics at Paderborn University is one of the largest economics faculties in Germany. Our faculty focuses on joint development. Through active participation and transparent development paths, we promote responsibility and support each other on the path to personal and collective success. We strive for excellence through disciplinarity and transdisciplinarity, are regionally rooted and internationally networked, and maintain continuous dialogue and appreciation as the cornerstones of our teaching, research and knowledge transfer.

Organisation of the faculty

As governing bodies, the Faculty Board and the Dean's Office are responsible for the organisation and further development of research and teaching at the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics. The Faculty Administration supports the committees and all faculty members in the fulfilment of their tasks. The various teaching and research areas of our Faculty are organised in a total of six departments.

We conduct research to rethink the economy together

Regulation and transparency, work in digitalisation, modern and innovative value generation, handling data, designing education and training, sustainability - our faculty's research focuses on the current challenges facing our society. Our researchers are united by the goal of understanding and helping to shape an increasingly complex, digitalised and networked world.

Re­search pro­jects

Our researchers are involved in both basic and application-orientated research. We are involved in two Collaborative Research Centres, including as spokesperson for the first SFB in business administration. Further third-party-funded collaborative and individual projects demonstrate our broad spectrum of research.

Know­ledge trans­fer

Teaching, research and transfer are based on a constant dialogue between all members of our faculty, Paderborn University and society. We move the world through this dialogue and it is based on mutual appreciation. We make time for dialogue.

We offer diversity in business studies

For a future in which we enjoy living and working, we need new economic thinking in all areas. We need digitization experts, number crunchers, pioneers, managers, globalization strategists, teachers and inventors. As one of the largest economics departments in Germany, we can think and teach economics in many different ways. We offer both generalist and specialized economics degree programs. Our motto: diverse - international - practical - personal! We are looking forward to new companions who want to rethink business together with us!

Fok­us Nach­haltigkeit

Wir richten unser Handeln nachhaltig aus, um der globalen Verantwortung und einer zukunftsfähigen Gestaltung der Gesellschaft, der Generationengerechtigkeit und dem Erhalt der natürlichen Lebensgrundlagen gerecht zu werden. Auch in unseren Studiengängen wird das Thema Nachhaltigkeit stets eingebunden.

We are look­ing for ex­change

In­ter­na­tion­al­isa­tion

With over 70 collaborations worldwide, we welcome international students as well as excellent researchers* and promote international mobility for all faculty members.

Globally networked
