Our strategic positioning

EBS is a private university characterised by entrepreneurial spirit and conduct. It stands for the irrevocable unity of research and teaching, and thereby addresses in particular the uncertainty of the economic and social environment provoked by globalisation, technological change and disruption.

The students at EBS Universität receive an education based on the ability to come to terms with this uncertainty, with practice-empowered, scientifically sound and internationally oriented preparation, enabling them to take on management functions and social responsibility based on the Code of Conduct. The study program imparts the outlasting skills for ongoing critical revision and further development of expertise, on the one hand to recognise structures and, on the other, willingness for life-long learning. EBS’ understanding of excellence attracts students and professors who are both talented and enthusiastic, performance-oriented and creative. With the methodical combination of business administration and legal elements, EBS Universität fosters the students’ ability to think and understand interdisciplinary issues, thus providing a particular added value.

In addition to training networking capability, EBS Universität can draw on an exceptional network of corporate partners, alumni, sponsors and friends who can offer students excellent career opportunities after graduation.

One of the outstanding added values of the entrepreneurial EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht is the specific advancement of network skills and the opportunities to use the EBS network. This forms a fundamental attitude to excellence achieved by teaching practice-oriented skills.
