The Professors in Economics

The Master’s programme M.Sc. in Economics and Institutions is offered by the Economics Department within the School of Business & Economics. 

The Philipps-University of Marburg and the School of Business & Economics

The Philipps-University has an unusually long academic tradition; it was founded in 1527 by Landgrave Philipp. The roots of economic research in Marburg go back to 1928. The School of Business & Economics was established in 1970 as part of a major reorganisation of the university. Several famous economists studied and/or taught at Philipps-University, including Wilhelm Röpke (1899-1966), one of the fathers of the German social market economy.

Today, the School of Business and Economics has 18 tenured professors, roughly 70 assistant professors, lecturers, and research assistants, and about 1,900 students. The School is housed in four historical buildings, all of which are located very close to the historical city centre of Marburg and within walking distance of each other.
