Paderborn University Circle (PHK) e. V.
The network of Paderborn economists
The Paderborn University Circle (PHK) e. V. was founded in 1979 and is the alumni association of the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics at Paderborn University. With well over 30 years of association history and more than 550 members, the PHK is one of the oldest and largest associations at Paderborn University.
The main aim of the PHK is to promote and expand dialogue with our graduates. We provide regular information about developments in the faculty - e.g. through the biannual PHK newsletter. In addition, we invite you to return to your faculty for alumni reunions and to meet your professors and fellow students on this occasion.
In addition, the PHK is a sponsors' association that promotes research and teaching in the field of economics both ideally and materially and supports the intensification of the connection between science and business. The members thus make an active contribution to supporting current students and the faculty.
We invite you to participate and actively shape the profile of our faculty for the future. The PHK thrives on the interest of its members in an exchange. We would like to encourage you to cultivate and expand this exchange of ideas and experiences from the professional world.
Become part of our network, we look forward to meeting you!
„Alle Menschen, die an der Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaften studiert, gearbeitet oder in sonst einer Weise gewirkt haben, sich der Fakultät verbunden fühlen oder an einem Austausch mit der Fakultät interessiert sind, sind im PHK stets herzlich willkommen!”

Club activities
The association's funds are currently being used in particular to support the faculty's students with offers. In addition to regular participation in information events for students, we support students with working materials (e.g. calculators for first-semester students), support chairs in organising additional events (e.g. practical workshops on management and leadership, Lunch with the Expert or Insights Praxis) and award scholarships to students of our faculty (organised by the StudienfondsOWL).
We regularly inform our members about news at the faculty (newsletter "Warburger Straße 100") and current events (Day of Economics, Business Meets Science). PHK members can be put on the guest list for the exam party on Economics Day and therefore do not have to pay admission. In addition, our members have access to a protected members' area. Every year, we invite members to the association's general meeting.
In the medium and long term, the programme is also to be expanded for the association's other target groups.
