Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences

Welcome to the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences

The Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences consists of

• the Alfred Weber Institute of Economics (AWI),
• the Max Weber Institute of Sociology (MWI),
• the Institute of Political Science (IPW),
• the sections of Economics and Political Science at the South Asia Institute, and
• the section of Sociology at the Center of Social Investment (CSI).

The Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences unites the three disciplines of Economics, Sociology, and Political Science in a common research and teaching effort. Based on their disciplinary strength, the three disciplines co-operate in the analysis of economic, political and social institutions as the framework shaping behaviour in the economic, political, and social domain.
