The campus

As the seat of the School of Business and Economics, the Oeconomicum is located in the city center and thus in the immediate neighborhood of the Aasee Lake and the castle. The building is used equally by students from the fields of business, economics and law. However, the University of Münster is not a classic campus university - its more than 200 buildings rather make the city its campus. From the Oeconomicum, it is easy to reach all important locations within the city area.
