BA/BS in Wirtschaftsphysik

Economic physics applies physical and statistical theories to problems in economics and business. One strand uses quantitative physical laws and models for financial phenomena, while another examines how physical principles shape the design of devices and processes in an economically viable way. The Bachelor programme is broad in both method and content, starting with the basics of experimental and theoretical physics and of economics. Students can set their own focus through elective modules or an optional industrial placement. The course suits those with an interest in science who want to work beyond traditional research roles. The combination of physics and economics opens career paths beyond the classic research environment. Students develop quantitative skills that can be applied to financial modelling, economic engineering and the analysis of complex systems.
