Sustainability and the challenge of Digital Transformation

Come on board - EBS Onboarding Project

Your start into the Bachelor Programme

Right at the beginning of your Bachelor in Business Studies programme you will work on a complex case study and get an insight into the three-year study programme. The first lectures will give you a comprehensive insight into the three-year business studies programme and provide you with the necessary hard, soft and study skills. In interesting lectures by practitioners and an exciting excursion, you will gain up-to-date specialist knowledge. Besides, you will be able to get a first impression of your future professional life. You will make first contacts, get to know your fellow students and professors and learn more about EBS Universität. At the end of these two intensive weeks, your results will be presented to a panel of professors and practitioners.

Students from all over the world bring different cultural influences and curiosity to EBS Universität. To proactively introduce you to the university’s everyday life and answer your most pressing questions, EBS Universität has launched the EBS Onboarding Project, unique in the university landscape.

Every year, the EBS Onboarding Project focuses on a relevant topic. Last year it was “Sustainability and the challenge of Digital Transformation”. This year’s topic will be announced shortly.

Overview of the main aspects of the EBS Onboarding Project

As a business administration student, you will receive a comprehensive insight into the different business administration fields and an outlook on your studies during the first two weeks of your studies. From day one, you will be immersed in academic life and get to know the study programme in its full scope.

EBS Onboarding Project

Topic in 2019:
Future City

The real estate industry of the future expects many challenges and opportunities: topics such as mobility, sustainability, digitalisation, new work, urbanisation and globalisation will significantly change the image of the real estate industry.

EBS Onboarding Project

Topic in 2018:
Autonomous Driving

This was the topic of the EBS Onboarding Project, which started for the first time with the Intake 2018. The term Autonomous Driving refers to self-propelled vehicles that are controlled by means of automation and driver assistance systems. However, there are different levels of automation that our students have become familiar with.

EBS Onboarding Project

The perfect start

In the first weeks of their Bachelor in Business Studies programme, the students worked in groups on concepts for the respective topic. With field trips in Frankfurt, Hamburg and Zurich, our sponsors have provided insights into the different areas of the real estate industry to make the topic even more tangible.

Tutors

Each team is assigned a tutor from the third or fifth semester. The tutor not only accompanies the students through the programme and helps with specific questions and problems that may arise at the beginning of the programme, but also introduces them to student life at EBS Universität.

In this way, you can make direct contacts to higher semesters and build up a network right from the start, which will accompany you through your studies and beyond.

Final presentations

At the end of the EBS Onboarding Project, the teams presented their work on the different case studies. By means of online voting, the audience could vote for the best idea. The winning team created an app to make apartment movement as efficient and comfortable as possible.

Prof. Dr. Karin Kreutzer

Professor of Social Business

The EBS Onboarding Project provides students with a unique introduction to university life. Last year I was particularly impressed by how quickly a sense of community developed and how well each individual was integrated.

Anne-Sophie Riegger

Research Assistant

During the EBS Onboarding Project, I did not work with new students - I was working with future friends! I am envious that the new intake has the chance to do their EBS Onboarding Project for the first time.

Lucas Schlimgen

Student

You rarely have the chance to plan and implement such a unique module. It was a great opportunity to get to know our new students from day one and integrate them into the EBS community. Especially the results of the EBS Onboarding case study were remarkable.

Dr. Katrin Merfeld

Post Doc

The EBS Onboarding Project prepared me professionally and socially for my studies at EBS Universität. I got to know many of my fellow students, both beginners and advanced students, was able to familiarise myself with the working methods required in the future and was able to gather a lot of specialist knowledge.

From Day one I felt the EBSpirit: Hard work, team building as well as a lot of fun - the perfect start into my business studies!
