Studying here means...


Innovative, international, individual: The University of Applied Sciences Mainz

The University of Applied Sciences Mainz has that certain something. “Small manageable group size in lectures, sociability, feeling comfortable,” are Judith Großbach’s reasons. She is 27 years old and studying business administration at the School of Business. She is one of many part-time students who work and take classes at the University every Tuesday and Saturday. Judith Großbach will soon receive her diploma. Then she intends to show her employer, the Nassauische Sparkasse, what she is capable of doing in Controlling. “The University of Applied Sciences Mainz was the only university to offer the opportunity to work and study at the same time,” she says. It was often difficult to reconcile studies and job, but Judith Großbach does not regret her decision one bit. “I’m also considering going on to get my master’s degree”, she adds enthusiastically. Where else, but at the University of Applied Sciences Mainz...

... because studying here means:

  • Small learning groups: On average 30 students take part in each course. During „lectures“, it is possible to ask questions, in seminars and project groups with 20 participants, the dialogue between students and instructors is in the foreground
  • Teamwork: learning to solve problems and work on case studies together with others instead of teacher-centred lectures.

Practice orientation: Instructors from international top-class companies

  • We reduce the theoretical „ballast” to an absolute minimum and concentrate instead on practical application in business.
  • In almost all modules, lectures by the professors are complemented by guest lecturers with practical expertise.
  • A good 15% of the lectures and seminars are taught by external teachers involved in practical work in the field.
  • The professors in the faculty have management experience in international top companies (i.e. Boehringer, McKinsey, pwc, SAP, Schott, TRUMPF).
  • Even after their appointment, the professors remain up-to-date on new developments in business practice. They are respected partners in law firms, tax consulting and auditing and as consultants to businesses and the government.

Research projects: Students are involved

  • Research carried out by the professors is directed towards practical application in close cooperation with companies. Instead of a long list of publications, we increase the performance of customers. The integration of students in these research projects is a matter of course for us.
  • Individual guidance: Final papers, especially the master’s thesis, are written under the individual guidance of a professor, normally in cooperation with a representative from the company. This close collaboration guarantees a high level of success in the final papers. Among the large companies that cooperate with us helping students write papers for their bachelor’s and master’s degrees as well as for a diploma are: BMW, Opel, Clariant, Fraport, Citibank, Lufthansa, IBM. Not forgetting the many dedicated medium-sized businesses which often have more to offer than large companies.
  • Individual guidance in planning a study programme and recognition of examinations.

Courses in Business Planning for tomorrow’s business economists

  • Institutional framework for cooperation: The IUH and the BIS Institute. About 400 cooperating companies work together with the faculty systematically and support teaching in business administration, business law and information systems.
  • Every semester, the IUH offers students courses in business planning and supports their first steps toward independence.
  • Innovative approaches: The first study programme in business law in Germany, unique approach to study information systems on a part-time basis (awis), the study programmes in international business focus on international cooperation.
  • Internationality: Exchange programmes in Europe, USA, Australia, Asia and Latin America. Integrated exchange study programme in the bachelor programme (fifth semester) and the master programme (third semester).

Transatlantic Master in South Carolina

  • Two first-class master programmes in International Business with the opportunity to receive two degrees, for instance a Transatlantic Master in four semesters with an MA International business and the AACSB-accredited MBA from the Coastal Carolina University, or including an integrated work internship in North Carolina.
  • Membership in CIDD, the world’s largest consortium for double diplomas for universities of applied sciences ensures involvement in the newest developments in international exchange.

Frictionless linking of studies and career

  • Internationality, also for working students: crash courses of two to three weeks in Great Britain (Business English), the USA (Doing Business in the United States) und in China (Opportunities in the Chinese market) enable our part-time students to combine employment and international experience with their studies in Mainz. Excursions in the MBA programme also for students of faculties other than business to South Africa, Korea, Thailand, and Latin America are an integral part of the study experience. This model is exemplary for further education.
  • Work-study programme: Not just a part-time study programme but also genuine cooperation with the students’ employers. This ensures frictionless linking of studies and career.
