6 Celebrating Diversity and International Exchange

The international focus of the University of Göttingen is influenced by its diverse range of worldwide cooperations – currently 622 partnerships as well as 964 exchange agreements with 577 international universities. Half of the University’s PhD programs are fully taught in English as well as an constantly increasing number of Bachelor and Master programs. Furthermore, many of the Master programs offer a unique opportunity of graduation with a double or a joint degree from leading international universities.

The University of Göttingen is a cosmopolitan institution that recognizes the importance of cultural diversity within research and teaching. As such, it is a member of inter­ national university networks such as the Coimbra Group and the U4 Network.

The Coimbra Group is a network of renowned higher education institutions across Europe. The network was founded in 1987 to foster the exchange of students and faculty members. It promotes the latest developments in the European education system, and facilitates global research projects along with 40 participating universities. In 2008, the Coimbra Group founded the U4 Network. This network is a strategic partnership among five universities: Ghent (Belgium), Groningen (The Netherlands), Tartu (Estonia), Uppsala (Sweden) and Göttingen.

Additionally in 2008, the University of Göttingen founded liaison offices in China (Nanjing) and India (Pune). These offices facilitate, coordinate and support the academic exchange activities with partner institutions in China and India. The offices serve as focal points for the implementation­ of strategic measures, networking, meetings and discussions for scientists, students, alumni, funding organi­zations, and industry.

A Faculty with Long-Standing Tradition At the University of Göttingen, Economic Science has been a core discipline of research and teaching since the university’s founding in 1737. Originally, the first curricula offered by the faculty were Insurance Science in 1895 and Political Science (the precursor of Economics) in 1899. In 1922, the university split Economic Studies from Business Administration and founded the program Economic Studies of Firms, which later became Business Administration. In 1950, the University of Göttingen rapidly expanded its Economic Studies of Firms program. A host of new profes- sorships were created in 1954 and 1955, as well as a full degree program in Business Administration (Diplom-Kauf- mann). In 1961, a full-time program of Business Education was launched, which resulted in the degree of Diplom- Handels­lehrer. One year later, the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences was established, which was then dissolved in 1981. Since then, Economic Sciences has been run independently of other faculties, and in 1997, it became officially known as the Faculty of Business and Economics.
