The close link between sound concepts and practical application is a general feature. The students will acquire the skills needed for solving problems independently and in groups. At the start of the course, the focus is on solid teaching of subject knowledge. Even at this stage, problem-solving skills and personal competence are developed with initial relatively short group projects and simulation games. As the course progresses, these specialisations take on an increasingly significant role. There is a strong relation to practice throughout all the phases of study.

International research with corresponding topics, publications etc.; Curricula taught in English always take international aspects into account and, in specific subjects, there are special features such as ethics and intercultural issues. Lecturers with international experience and visiting lecturers are used. Students bring global experience, work with guest students and partner universities. Mobility extends to all continents. There are enough places available for study semesters, internships, double degrees, scholarships and short stays such as Study Tours.

Our students have extensive technical resources available. The university has an e-learning platform, which is used to support teaching in many ways. The library offers a variety of classical media and e-media, which can be accessed flexibly via the campus WiFi. Modern IT labs and workspaces and a virtual learning environment are used by our students as part of IT lectures, simulation games or SAP training. Access to databases is continuously expanded, e.g. access to the Bloomberg Terminal.

LOGWERT Competence Centre (in cooperation with Fraunhofer IAO) deals with transport management issues as well as business models for logistical innovations on behalf of public and private clients and funding bodies. The portfolio also includes the development of strategies and concepts for urban logistics and mobility, public transport and air transport.

The university has its own start-up centre (STARTKLAR), which also actively introduces students to the subject of business start-ups and entrepreneurship in the Transport Business Management courses and supports them with a planned business start-up through various consulting and coaching offers and network activities. The networks for business founders in the region have already been successfully expanded.

The courses are characterised by the close connection of sound concepts and practice. Graduates therefore have excellent job opportunities, both regionally and nationally. Our graduates’ high level of interest is evident, among other things from the committed involvement of industry partners in our advisory boards and the ConnectVB association. Sustainability is a central theme in the transport sector and is addressed in many events as well as our own events and company projects.
