Integrated Studies


Course of Studies or Apprenticeship Training? - Why not doing it both?

These are trainings for school leavers who feel that pure studies are too theoretical while also of the opinion apprenticeship training is not scholarly enough. At a University of Cooperative Studies in Baden-Wuerttemberg, the HSBA Hamburg School of Business Administration or the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management | HfB (FS) they have the opportunity - and the challenge - to do both simultaneously. After 3 to 3 1/2 year they graduate as a Bachelor or Diplom-Betriebswirt, both accredited degrees in Germany.
  • The 3-years-course of studies at a University of Cooperative Studies in Baden-Wuerttemberg with the branch of study "Banking" includes for every semester about 12 weeks of theoretically studies at the University of Cooperative Studies in Berlin, Karlsruhe or Mannheim and 12 weeks of practically training at Deutsche Bank. They graduate as "Diplom-Betriebswirt/-in (BA) Fachrichtung Bank" (graduate business economist of banking). All courses of studies are accredited by "Zentrale Evaluierungs- und Akkreditierungsagentur (ZEvA)".

  • At the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management | HfB school leavers have the choice between two courses of studies: Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.) in Business Adminstration or Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.) in Commercial Information Technology. Both courses take 3,5 years. In the latter they do also an apprenticeship to be a "Fachinformatiker/in (IHK)" (certified IT specialist), in the former they again have the choice between studying simultaneously to an apprenticeship as "Bankkaufmann/-frau (IHK)" (certified banker) or afterwards. These courses of studies are also accredited by "Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation (FIBAA)".

With the exeption of the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Commercial Information Technology which concentrates more on IT-related content, all of the students attending one of the trainings mentioned above participate additionally in our so far unique DIN-certificated "Vertriebsqualifizierung mit Zertifikat" (sales and distribution qualifiction with cerificate) and thus have the opportunity to earn an additionally qualified degree.
