Cologne Business School

The Cologne Business School (CBS) is an internationally orientated, state-recognised university of applied sciences and counts as one of Germany‘s top Business Schools. The Cologne Business School also ensures highest quality education: in addition to official state recognition, all study courses are regularly examined by the tri-national accreditation agency FIBAA (Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation) acting on behalf of the Wissenschaftsrat (German Council of Science and Humanities) for study programmes and in this way guarantees quality at university level.

The Cologne Business School‘s mission statement is to design the study organisation and contents of the degree courses in accordance with the students‘ employability. International lecturers and rigid organisation enable efficient, forwardlooking studying. Small study groups and intense student support by the professors are the hallmark of the learning atmosphere at the CBS. A network of partner universities in several countries and intense contacts to the economy already provide the opportunity of gaining international study and work experience during studies. This helps you to lay a solid foundation for a successful career, providing you with the ideal prerequisites for rapid access to interesting companies.

As well as communicating application-related knowledge, we therefore support your professional and social skills to the same extent as your societal and cultural sensitivity and your courage to provide fact-based, well substantiated opinions. You learn to process all personal, business and societal tasks creatively, independently and successfully, using the analytical competence you have gained. You acquire the important capabilities and knowledge which shape your professional career in management and are capable of handling it efficiently and therefore successfully and responsibly.

Students can achieve the worldwide acclaimed Bachelor of Arts in our five modern Bachelor of Arts degree programmes International Business, International Culture and Management, International Tourism Management, International Media Management and General Management in only six semesters.

Adding three further semesters and the Master‘s Thesis allows for the realisation of an internationally recognised Master of Arts degree in International Business, International Culture and Management, Sustainable Tourism Management, International Media and Entertainment Management and General Management which qualifies you for a doctorate. In addition to management courses and the classic business administration subjects, the CBS also offers the best possible transfer of practical experience by way of business simulations and practical projects. In addition, possible overseas stays, courses in personal skills and presentation techniques round off your qualification profile and prepare you competently for the requirements of internationally based companies.
