Our mission

The School of Management (SoM) stands for an integrated and holistic education in business administration.

We are striving to be the best business school in the German-speaking world when it comes to innovative teaching and research in the field of management education. Students are sure to find an attractive, international learning environment that is relevant to research and practical applications. We actively promote the international character of the faculty and the students and cultivate a network of over 150 partner universities worldwide.

The guiding principles of the School of Management are:

• The interaction between motivated, competent faculty and talented, dedicated students within an educational culture distinguished by trust and proximity.
• Ensuring a balanced portfolio of applied and basic research activities.
• Ongoing internationalisation, particularly with regard to courses and faculty.
• A culture of mutual appreciation, in which all faculty members are able to realise their full potential and utilise their strengths for the further development of the School.
