The CHE Hochschulranking is the most comprehensive and detailed ranking of German universities. It includes data about studies, teaching, equipment and research, and students’ assessments of the learning conditions at their university in the ranking. The annual DIE ZEIT study guide publishes the results. For some subjects, the ranking also considers the reputation of the departments among professors. In addition to the comparative criteria, prospective students can choose from a wide range of descriptive features on study and teaching. EBS Universität is represented in the subject areas of Business Administration and Law and has consistently achieved excellent results over the past years. In 2020, EBS Universität was again in the upper field of the leading group in the majority of categories for both subjects and was able to strengthen its position further.

The WirtschaftsWoche ranking is published by the economic magazine WirtschaftsWoche every year and is based on a survey carried out by Universum. Universum is an internationally recognised Employer-Branding specialist. The magazine asks HR managers from German companies which university graduates they consider remarkably competent in their activities for the survey. EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht is part of this ranking every year in Business Administration and Law. Overall, EBS Universität has achieved excellent results in recent years.

In the current 2022 ranking, EBS is among the top 10 German universities in Business Administration.

In May 2012, EBS Universität was awarded a 10-year accreditation by the Wissenschaftsrat, the German Council of Science and Humanities.

This academic seal of quality is awarded to non-governmental universities whose performance in teaching and research meets recognised scientific standards. The period of accreditation by the Wissenschaftsrat is for a maximum of ten years, depending on the outcome of the review process. The Wissenschaftsrat is one of Germany’s most critical science policy advisory bodies and advises the federal and state governments on developing universities, science and research. In the multi-stage accreditation procedure, which includes the submission of a self-report by the university and a visit to the university by an external group of experts over several days, the university is evaluated in eight key areas. These include its academic quality in research and teaching, its structures and equipment, and its quality assurance and development.

The accreditation agency Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation (FIBAA) awards the Premium seal to study programmes that demonstrate excellent quality in study and teaching as part of a FIBAA accreditation process. This unique distinction provides prospective students, graduates, universities, and the job market with reliable information about the outstanding quality of the degree programme.
