Our partner companies will pay your tuition fees and support you during your studies. However, if you prefer to be more flexible and don’t want to be tied to one company, there are many other options. This also applies to living costs, for example. Just take a look around. We will be happy to advise you.
Partner companies
We offer dual and part-time Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs in the fields of business administration, business informatics and applied computer science. The combination of theory and practice is our recipe for success. Because one thing is certain: you won’t get very far in your career just by reading books.
