With the start of the new academic year on October 1, 2025, the School of Management welcomed numerous new students — both from the region and from around the world. In total, 162 full-time students, 106 part-time students, and 78 master’s students began their studies, marking an impressive 10 percent increase compared to the previous year. 

Once again, international students make up a significant share of new enrollments — a sign of the faculty’s growing diversity and international orientation. As a result, this semester’s campus life is once again characterized by a vibrant mix of cultures and the diverse professional experiences of part-time students, who together create a dynamic learning environment and enrich the educational experience for all. 

The increasing internationalization of the School of Management aligns with the FH Strategy 2030, which focuses on internationalization, diversity, digitalization, and sustainability as key pillars of development. In this context, the business programs have been extensively updated in both content and teaching methods — with an emphasis on current global trends, innovative learning approaches, and the introduction of new modules.

Accordingly, the Faculty of Business & Management continuously advances innovative projects to offer students a modern learning environment and a wide range of practical perspectives and learning experiences. 

A particular highlight is already on the horizon: starting in the winter semester 2026/27, the Hotel Management program will be offered for the first time as a dual study program*. Students will combine their practice-oriented learning phases on campus with valuable professional experience in renowned partner companies — and many businesses have already joined the new model. 

The Faculty wishes all students a great start to an exciting academic year!
