ECONnect Program

ECONnect cooperates with renowned companies that benefit from the analytical skills and methodological expertise of economists, in particular management consultancies, banks and research-related institutions.

The program includes various events in the winter and summer semesters. The program starts with an introductory evening . Later on, the focus is on the workshop days. The workshops include case studies or simulations, for example, to familiarize participants with the way companies work. These are accompanied by discussion evenings on current topics, which enable students to apply their knowledge to real-life problems.

The program ends with a ceremonial awarding of certificates as part of the VAC's annual celebration.

In addition, participants become members of the Münchner Volkswirte Alumni-Club e.V.

Interested students who are in their third semester or higher may apply for the program year.
