About the Faculty
The Faculty of Business and Economics comprises 22 chairs, six junior professorships, and one research group in Business Administration, Economics, and Business Information Systems. Our seven degree programs have around 2.300 students in total. We are thus among the largest faculties of both TU Dresden and the East-German faculties in Business and Economics.
The faculty is part of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, jointly with the faculties of Architecture, Civil Engineering, Environmental Sciences, and Transport and Travel Sciences "Friedrich List".

Research and Teaching at the Faculty of Business and Economics
Research activities at the Faculty of Business and Economics are broad, interdisciplinary, and characterized by a strong methodological orientation. In TU Dresden's spirit, we address social science and technology-oriented issues. Technology topics figure prominently, for example, at the Chairs of Business Information Systems and the Business Administration Chairs of Energy Economics, Logistics, Industrial Management, Management Science, and Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Social science aspects are the focus of the Chairs of Economics, Business Education and Management Training, and, in Business Administration, the Chairs of Organization and Marketing.
The faculty collaborates actively with numerous research institutes and competence centers like PRISMA Center for Sustainability Assessment and Policy, ifo institute, Center for International Studies (ZIS), and UNU-FLORES.
Our study programs cover the entire breadth of the discipline. There are two Bachelor's degree programs (Business Administration and Economics, Business Education and Management Training), three Master's degree programs (Business administration, Economics, Business Education and Management Training), and two Diplom programs (Industrial Engineering & Management, Business Information Systems). Especially these latter programs regularly achieve excellent results in university rankings and produce some of TU Dresden's most-demanded graduates.
The faculty actively lives open-mindedness and international exchange. Students dispose of a tight network of contacts abroad within and beyond the ERASMUS program and face various options for binational degrees. Our annual grant awards support young scientists spending research periods abroad or inviting international guests to the faculty. In addition, our new Distinguished Research Fellowship Program aims to establish research collaborations with internationally renowned researchers.
