HDBW studies from a graduate's perspective

Nadine Leder completed her studies in spring 2018, after 7 semesters at HDBW, with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration, specialising in International Management.

Immediately afterwards, she started her first job at the Knorr Bremse Group in Munich. She is now a Business Planning Professional there.

From her current perspective, she says about studying at Hochschule der Bayerischen Wirtschaft:

"Thanks to HDBW, I have had a great start to my career. Within my first half a year, I have already been transferred to a more extensive position, travel professionally and have gained an overall view of our company worldwide.
The good and professional relationship with HDBW continues and so hand-picked working students are still introduced to Knorr-Bremse."

We ensure shared study experiences

> Studying at HDBW is above all about shared learning experiences.

> About direct and personal exchange with fellow students and teachers.

> About group discussions, arguing, asking questions, contributing ideas.

> About learning with and from others - in and outside the lecture hall.

We provide you with individual support

In order to guarantee the best possible teaching of the course content, you will always work in small learning groups and the HDBW professors and lecturers will be there to support you at every stage of your studies.

We also help you with your professional orientation and sharpening your own profile. This makes it easier for you to get into the position and industry that suits you best after graduation.

"Our mission at HDBW: Connecting students with Company experts!"

Your personality matters

The grade point average or even an NC are not the primary admission criteria for studying at HDBW.

Instead, we conduct a personal admission interview with you to match your interests and strengths, career plans and goals with the chosen degree programme. Together we will find out whether the subjects you have chosen suit you.

Studying at HDBW then offers you the opportunity to not only acquire expert knowledge, but also develop your personality.

Through active participation in group work and discussions, you can improve your communication skills and learn to defend and argue your opinion.

We encourage critical thinking and you also learn to question your convictions and consider new perspectives.

The entire HDBW university team will support you on this journey!

Private university? State-certified standard - with improved study conditions

HDBW is a private and state-recognised university of applied sciences, which means that it is bound by the quality standards of the state higher education system and is supervised by the Bavarian Ministry of Science to ensure that its rules and standards are adhered to.

Studying at HDBW is therefore no different from studying at a state university in terms of formal and content requirements.

However, study conditions at a private university like the HDBW are much more comfortable:
