The Department of Business and Economics at JGU sees itself as a European and international faculty. This is reflected in its numerous cross-border collaborations in research and teaching, the high proportion of international students and scholars, and their integration into the university. A consistent internationalization of study programs and teaching prepares students for taking on responsibilities in an international context.
A stay abroad is a major personal gain for every student today, offering much more than just an advantage in the job market. Students who return from a longer or shorter period abroad during their studies consistently report that spending time in a different environment, another culture, and at a foreign university is a deeply enriching personal experience.
Please apply early! The lead time for applications without a scholarship is generally at least six months. Please keep in mind the different semester start dates in other countries (Southern Hemisphere: typically February). For study abroad scholarships, the usual lead time is one year.
As a special highlight, Johannes Gutenberg University offers double degree programs in cooperation with international partner universities. These programs alternate between semesters or years spent at JGU and the partner institution. They culminate in a so-called “double degree”, meaning both a bachelor’s or master’s degree from Mainz and the partner university’s degree.
With around 34.300 students from more than 130 countries, Johannes Gutenberg University is one of Germany’s largest universities and the leading research institution in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. JGU prides itself on being an international university with one of the highest proportions of international students in Germany — around 12%.
More than 3.000 students are enrolled in the four Bachelor’s and six Master’s programs in economics. Air-conditioned lecture halls, computer labs, a large library, and a cafeteria ensure pleasant study conditions.
