Bachelor in Management Philosophy & Economics
About this program
What this degree covers and what you can expect from the university.
Many decisions don’t fail because the numbers were wrong. They fail because the question was.
In an age of AI, success depends not just on what you know, but on how clearly you think. The Bachelor in Management, Philosophy & Economics (BSc) at Frankfurt School of Finance & Management is a demanding programme that develops rigorous thinkers for complex problems—where automation falls short, trade-offs are real, and answers aren’t obvious.
By combining the analytical depth of philosophy with business studies and economics, the programme cultivates clarity of thought, methodological discipline and economic expertise. It is designed for students stimulated by challenging ideas who want to understand economics and society in a way that masters complexity rather than avoids it.
Target Group
This programme is right for you if:
- You are driven by intellectual curiosity and seek a degree that challenges what others take for granted.
- You are eager to engage seriously with the economic, socio-political and ethical questions raised by a rapidly changing world.
- You aim both to build economic expertise and to strengthen your analytical edge —arguing convincingly, dissecting problems and separating signal from noise.
- You want to see the bigger picture without losing precision in the details.
Study Model
The programme is taught in English on a full-time basis. You’ll attend lectures four to five days a week (Monday–Saturday), with at least one day off. Alongside your studies, you can also take up a part-time working-student job to gain real-world experience. During the extended summer break, you have the opportunity to complete full-time internships.
How we teach
We believe that you learn most effectively through individual feedback. That is why the MPE's philosophy component places a strong emphasis on close personal supervision. Modelled on the tutorial systems at Oxford and Cambridge, your work is discussed in individually tailored teaching sessions, allowing for intensive engagement with your ideas in small groups. That way, you learn to sharpen open-ended problems, develop your own solutions and defend them clearly and persuasively.
In parallel with your training in critical thinking and socio-political analysis, you develop a rigorous command of economics and business studies that combines theoretical depth with practical relevance. You not only work hands-on with empirical methods and data analysis; you also learn how to turn your knowledge into effective solutions to concrete business challenges.
Throughout the programme, you work closely with an interdisciplinary faculty whose leading research and international teaching experience ensure that the MPE curriculum reflects the latest insights and developments.
