Praise for Business Programs  [12.05.20]

The ranking in the current ZEIT study guide gives the University of Hohenheim's degree programs in Business Administration and Economics an above-average report. Students awarded the top two grades in all categories. Compared with the last survey, the courses offered in most categories were better or equally good.

 

 

Every year, the Center for Higher Education Development (CHE) publishes a detailed ranking of different degree programs in the Studienführer der ZEIT. It claims to be Germany's largest university ranking.

The data for all subjects is updated every three years. This year it is the turn of the business and economics fields, among other subjects.

School grades, which are awarded by the students themselves, play an important role in the ranking. They grade different aspects from the range of courses to IT infrastructure. In addition, the ranking also compares general key figures and indicators, e.g. publications per professor (point system) or the average time required to complete a degree.

In a Germany-wide comparison, the range of courses offered by the University of Hohenheim in the field of business and economics is above average. The positive trend is striking: for the second time in a row, Hohenheim students graded most of the aspects queried better or equally.

 

Result confirms further development in recent years

"We are pleased with the positive feedback from this year's CHE ranking," commented Prof. Dr. Kasten Hadwich, Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences. "It confirms that, from the point of view of the students, we have an attractive and diverse range of courses on offer that will enable them to make themselves fit for their professional future according to their interests and talents. In the future, we will continue to work hard to further develop our degree programs closely in line with the needs of students and the job markets."

Prof. Dr. Jörg Schiller, Dean of Studies, added: "The current CHE ranking confirms our work. The orientation week and additional offers for first-year students, such as research-based learning, are very well received and evaluated excellently. We are still the leader in Germany in terms of the possibility of setting individual priorities and the breadth of the range of courses on offer. I am also particularly pleased with the excellent evaluations of the career orientation and career entry programs. Special thanks are due to the University's CareerCenter, which has been providing us with excellent support for years and is doing a great job for our students."
