Hall of Fame

Dr. Siegfried Balleis "The Faculty of Business Administration,

Economics and Social Sciences provides the students with a large choice of subjects.

Thanks to this enormous diversity, they gain qualifications for many highly different jobs. “

Dr. Ulrich Maly

"As an economist I know that economics is not only a science but also a state of mind, one that helps me with my current tasks. This I was taught by the WiSo.“

Prof. Dr. Karl-Dieter Grüske"WiSo can shape your whole life.“

Prof. Dr. Heinrich von Pierer

"The course of studies was a terrific investment for me. Be it business,

association work, or in political dialogue I can always rely on the

basics that I was taught here.“

Hall of Fame

Karl Matthäus Schmidt

“The years I spent at University were the basis for my business dealings. It was an

important and beautiful time for me."

Dr. Bernd Rödl" After finishing my law degree I started laying down the foundation for my independence while at the WiSo. The WiSo has a great tradition of practice-related research and scientific teaching. The tasks I accomplished while at the WiSo still help me in my business life today. But this is not only true of me. Looking at the management of Rödl & Partner one could say: "We are the children of the Nuernberger WiSo!“
