Universidad socia: Goethe Universität - Frankfurt am Main (Alemania)

Desde la Faculty of Economics and Business de la Goethe Universität - Frankfurt am Main nos envían su nuevo newsletter (+info en el blog)

Entre las cosas que nos cuentan destacamos una: la excelente posición de esta facultad y universidad en los rankings internacionales:

The Faculty was awarded top places in two recent worldwide rankings: Last fall, as the only German university besides Bonn, the Goethe University occupied a top 100 rank (ranking group 76–100) in the newly established category Economics/Business in the Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s renowned Academic Ranking of World Universities.

The University of Tilburg (Netherlands) recently introduced an entirely new ranking under the name of Tilburg Economics Ranking. “While several business school rankings exist worldwide, a list of the best economics departments was missing,” said the initiators of the Tilburg Ranking. The evaluation is based on the publications in the 68 leading international professional journals within a five-year period (2004–2008). Our Faculty’s outstanding achievement:

• Worldwide: rank 112
• Europe: rank 35
• Germany: rank 5

Had the evaluation been based on the four-year period 2005–2008, the result would have been even better: rank 97 worldwide, rank 30 in Europe and rank 3 in Germany.

Nuevo acuerdo de intercambio Erasmus: Goethe-Universität /Frankfurt University

La Facultad ha firmado un nuevo acuerdo que permitirá el intercambio de estudiantes Erasmus a partir del curso académico 2010-2011 con la Universidad de Frankfurt (Goethe-Universität Frankfurt).

Nos sumamos así al grupo de socios que la Facultad de Economía y Administración de Empresas de esta universidad tiene tanto en Europa como en el resto del mundo, y que incluye a la Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Seoul National University, Australian National University, Singapore Management University y la Fudan University Shanghai, entre otras.

La Facultad es una institución que cuenta con un gran prestigio, especialmente en el ámbito de las finanzas y la economía monetaria, lo que le ha llevado a crear la denominada "House of Finance". Se trata de una de las tres instituciones alemanas acreditadas por AACSB y ocupa muy buenos puestos en varios rankings de universidades.

La Facultad está situada desde 2008 en un nuevo campus, el Campus Westend, ubicado en una situación bastante céntrica.

En cuanto a la ciudad, Frankfurt es uno de los principales centros financieros de Europa. Sus habitantes suelen decir que es la única ciudad en el mundo con dos bancos centrales, el Bundesbank y el Banco Central Europeo. Además, alrededor de 350 bancos comerciales mantienen oficinas en la ciudad.
