Program Tuition Fee
Program delivery
The Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.) in Management, Economics & Social Sciences | MES degree program is in the field of economics. The program is designed as a full-time course with intensive classroom teaching in small groups. You will benefit from an outstanding supervision ratio of 1:8 as well as the exchange with other committed and motivated students.
The degree program combines an entrepreneurial mindset with a high-quality academic education and provides an in-depth understanding of current social challenges such as climate change, social inequality, and digital transformation. The wide range of options allows you to create your own individual profile. This allows you to follow your personal interests and specialize in very different areas. During your studies, you will learn how to tackle complex problems, launch your own initiatives, and drive sustainable change within and outside of companies. We want to give you the conviction that economic, ecological, and social concerns as well as institutional, organizational, and individual goals can be combined in such a way that sustainable social development can be achieved.
The Management, Economics & Social Sciences | MES degree program thus offers far more than a traditional management education, in which the term "sustainability" is often understood to mean nothing more than the long-term existence of companies and the achievement of permanently high profits.
Like all degree programs at ZU, the Bachelor's degree program in Management, Economics & Social Sciences | MES is interdisciplinary and research-oriented. Solving complex problems in a fundamentally changing world requires different perspectives. In addition, a deeper understanding of the fundamental relationships and mechanisms is required, which is difficult to develop by simply learning and reproducing specialist content.
