Welcome

Shortly following the establishment of Aarhus University, the first degree programmes in Economics and Management and the associated recruiting of academic and administrative staff were initiated in 1936 under the auspices of what has now become the School of Economics and Management at the Faculty of Social Sciences.

During the intervening period of close to 75 years, several thousand students have successfully graduated from the school. Until the late 1990s these students were all enrolled in the combined 5 – 6 years BSc and MSc programme in Economics and Management (oecon.), where students follow a joint programme in Economics and Management for the first two years, after which they branch into their respective areas of specialization. Since the turn of the millennium, the school has also hosted a growing number of students in its BA and MA programmes in Business Administration (soc.) focusing on the management disciplines at the school. Finally, since the 1970s the school has cooperated with the Department of Mathematical Sciences on the BSc and MSc degree programmes in Mathematical Economics (scient. oecon.).

The School of Economics and Management and its faculty conduct research and offer specialized courses and research training in the following areas:

The school is host to more than 50 faculty members, many visitors, fellows and associates, and some 35 PhD students. The administrative staff at the school consists of about 15 people. Approximately 1,200 – 1,300 students are enrolled in the BSc, BA, MSc, MA and PhD programmes at the school.
