The International School of Management (ISM) numbers among Germany’s leading private business schools and is continually placed at the forefront of all applicable university rankings. The ISM has campuses in Dortmund, Frankfurt/Main, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, Stuttgart, and Berlin. At the nationally recognized, not-for-profit private university, tomorrow’s leaders are trained in compact and praxis-relevant degree programs that prepare them to work in internationally-oriented business enterprises. All degree programs at the ISM are distinguished by their internationality and praxis orientation. Projects in small groups are as much a regular part of university life as integrated semesters of study abroad and international modules at one of over 180 partner universities of the ISM.
The ISM has seven locations in Germany. In the immediate vicinity of attractive companies and economic regions, there are many opportunities for cooperation. Whether in the far north or the deep south of the country – students benefit from close contact with local employers. ISM students are also well integrated into their home campus. Small learning groups guarantee a personal atmosphere and promote exchange between students and professors. Paris, London, New York, or Shanghai – ISM will take you abroad. Around 190 partner universities worldwide are currently part of ISM‘s cooperation network – this is one of the largest networks of all universities in Germany.
The Hamburg campus was opened in September 2010. Around 560 students currently study at the private University of Hamburg in two modern buildings in HafenCity. The city center and the main train station are only about ten minutes away. Whether as a cosmopolitan metropolis or a raw but charming Hanseatic city with charm - Hamburg combines many facets. It forms the cultural and economic center of Northern Germany. Hamburg's economic structure is characterized by the service sector, which employs around three quarters of all workers.
