Preface Welcome to the Berlin School of Economics! I am pleased to learn that you are interested to become a student at our school and I would specifically appreciate your final decision to join us. Please make use of the rich and profound supply of our academic courses – and do not forget the numerous opportunities which the vibrant city of Berlin offers! The Berlin School of Economics is quite unique in Germany. It is characterised by 35 different pathways of business and economic studies which cover the total area of international economics and business, and relevant related sciences as well. Given the number of graduates that turn out each year, we are one of the major academic training institutions for future business leaders and managers in Germany. The Berlin School of Economics has established itself as a provider of high-quality undergraduate and postgraduate business and management education and as a result achieves high rankings among German universities. One of the characteristics of this specialized business school is the practice-related approach which applies to all study programmes and teaching. The Berlin School of Economics comprises two departments of which one is solely dedicated to company-linked programmes. Additionally the postgraduate courses of further education are taken together in the Institute of Management Berlin (IMB). We were one of the first academic institutions in Berlin to transform the former Diploma studies into the new European Bachelor and Master format and have been offering MBA-programmes for more than 15 years. There are some 145 professors teaching in various disciplines such as business administration and economics, sociology and law as well as business information, mathematics, statistics and engineering. The academic staff is supplemented by 400 associate lectures who significantly contribute their day-to-day business experience. Currently there are 5,000 students from 60 countries enrolled at the Berlin School of Economics. 1,000 students graduate each year with a Bachelor’s, Master’s or German Diplom degree. A university specialised in management studies and economics is particularly influenced by the changes of its international environment. The present state of globalisation with its dramatic increase in crossborder trade, capital and technology flows bears the major impact on the strategy which Berlin School of Economics adheres to. One specific aspect of these global links is the growing network of international partnerships between universities. The Berlin School of Economics holds more than 60 active partnerships with universities around the world. These contacts reach from Amsterdam via Dublin, Paris, Zaragoza and St. Petersbourgh, Singapore, Buenos Aires, Otaru, Sydney and as far as Honululu. In addition, we have joined the consortium of seven Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS7) who agree among themselves to establish an „Alliance for Excellence” in terms of quality and internationalisation. In order to enhance the international cooperations and not least to enrich the qualification of our students, the Berlin School of Economics has established and English Stream which allows participants to attend lectures and choose courses in a growing number of modules in English. Existing partnerships with foreign academic institutions are further strengthened through international Summer Schools. Foreign students, especially those from partner universities, may get a first insight to the Berlin School of Economics during German language or subject related courses in English each lasting between two and four weeks. Quite indispensable for a good success in our international links has been the transformation of our traditional structure of studies, teaching and examinations according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). The latter has developed into the universally accepted method of accumulation and transfer of credits within the European Area of Higher Education.
