International students

The Faculty of Business, Economics, and Law unites the School of Law and the School of Business, Economics and Society. This structure provides a broad academic scope across roughly 30 degree programs, enabling focused specialization. The approach combines rigorous scholarship with interdisciplinary study, international exposure, and practical application.

A network of over 140 partner universities facilitates active exchange, with about 300 students studying abroad and 100 incoming exchange students each year. This international character is reflected in the academic portfolio, which includes two bachelor’s and three master’s programs taught in English, plus several double-degree options with partner institutions. The faculty’s globally connected staff advance collaborative projects, while dedicated support services assist all students with international study.
