The Economics and Social Sciences Faculty of the University of Cologne ("WiSo Faculty") was founded in 1901 as a business school. Since then she has expanded her sphere of activity to include economics, sociology and politics. Today we have more than a century of experience training new generations of economists, economists, sociologists and political experts. During this time we have developed a tradition of close dialogue with our stakeholders and a focus on scientific research that is of great relevance for the corporate world, economic policy and society. We are in the heart of Europe, in a city that has been a center of international trade and economy for over two thousand years.
