About
We are the THWS Business School
We focus on our students' futures. To optimally prepare our students for responsible tasks in economy and society, we offer far more than mere theory in our practice-oriented bachelor’s and master's programmes. In our programmes, students develop future skills that enable them to succeed in complex national and international environments.
At the THWS Business School we are consistently focusing on our strategic dimensions: Highly practice-oriented teaching, consistent digitalisation of contents and teaching methods, the internationalisation of our degree programmes, and a strong research-orientation that ensures our strong academic basis.
Carried by our shared values, we create an environment at the THWS Business School that is not only based on knowledge but also on a sense of community and mutual growth. Our guiding principle "empowering minds for tomorrow" is more than a slogan - to us it represents our standards, our offers, and our motivation.
We are passionate about this goal and do our best to create the ideal conditions for our students' personal and professional development. Together we optimally prepare them for the challenges of tomorrow.
