Empowering you to shape the future
EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht is one of the leading private business schools in Germany, located both in Wiesbaden and Oestrich-Winkel.
Currently, about 2.000 students and doctoral candidates are studying and researching at three schools and benefit in particular from a comprehensive network of international partner universities, companies and alumni.
The EBS Business School, the oldest private university for Business Studies in Germany, has been teaching future leaders with an international perspective since 1971. The EBS Law School, Germany’s most recently founded law school, has since 2011 offered a full-featured, classic law study programme leading to the state examinations with a special focus on business law, as well as an integrated Master in Business (M.A.). With its professional training programmes, the EBS Executive School provides further education for specialists and executives.
Since July 2016, the EBS Universität has been part of the non-profit foundation SRH, a leading provider of educational and health services. Our common goal is to strengthen the EBS Universität as an excellent educational institution and to further develop the university on the basis of independent research and teaching
