The EBS consistently prepares its students to take responsibility in times of change and to actively shape the future. For this purpose, the EBS relies equally on imparting the necessary specialist skills as well as on the personal development of the students, e.g. through extra-curricular activities, coaching and social projects. In the sense of a co-creation approach, training formats are particularly important, in which business partners are systematically integrated into the course, thus ensuring the highest degree of practical relevance.
