Special features regarding teaching
Lectures are offered two to four times in the 1st stage of study, so that there are smaller groups and the students can put together their own lecture schedule. Lectures are sometimes offered every semester, i.e. there is a reduced number of lectures also for repeaters and latecomers. Tutors help in the preparation of classes and in additional practice sessions. Online quizzes in the basic subjects and key areas allow students to check their learning success promptly. Special key-study area: Practical projects, two each for each specialisation, compulsory.
Special features regarding the international orientation
As part of the English Programme, the Faculty offers all students a comprehensive programme of English language and international courses. Furthermore, the individual study programmes have worldwide collaborations with partner universities. For Business Administration alone, there are 71 cooperation agreements with partner universities.

The involvement of professors in different institutes of the FHWS helps to demonstrate the activities of the teaching staff at the Economics faculty.
