Science since 1727

The School of Economics and Business in Halle looks back on a long tradition. In 1727, it appointed the first professorship at a university for „Ökonomie, Polizey und Kammersachen“ and thus laid the foundation for economic research. Scholars in Halle have since made a great impact and repeatedly drawn academic attention to Halle. In the spirit of this tradition, the School of Economics and Business offers a wide range of courses and interdisciplinary cooperation with the Law School that is unparalleled in Germany.
