The main research field of Professor Arnold is public finance. He publishes his findings in leading professional journals that are known and recognized internationally.
From the 1978 establishment of the University of Hagen (FernUniversität in Hagen) Professor Volker Arnold has been the Head of the Faculty of Economics. Owing to his great professional knowledge and to his open attitude towards other countries and cultures, the German Federal State asked him in the ‘90s to develop the framework for an international double-degree programme.
The University of Hagen and the University of Pécs have been partners since 2001. Since then more than 50 students have earned the master level double-degree that is equivalent with the German as well as with the Hungarian business and economic degree. The Faculty of Business and Economics of the University of Pécs has become one of the most important partners of the University of Hagen, the leading university in distance education operating in the spirit of a united Europe.
