WHU was founded in 1984 at the initiative of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Koblenz. After more than 30 years, it not only ranks among the best and most respected centers of business education in Germany, but it also enjoys an excellent reputation internationally.
WHU is committed to excellence in management education. Study programs at WHU combine high quality research results with practical relevance for the business world. Teaching focuses on practice-oriented work whenever possible: thus, case studies and practical projects are used in class to foster the application of theoretical concepts. Moreover, frequent group work encourages student interaction, communication, and teamwork skills. Both an entrepreneurial attitude as well as responsible leadership are strongly encouraged and supported in the curricula and by the WHU community. Students are challenged to reflect on their soft and leadership skills and to work on their personal development. As a result, WHU aims to make a high-quality intellectual contribution to both academia and the business world.
High quality and groundbreaking research in the fields of management, economics, and business administration is one of the key pillars of excellence at WHU. The school places particular emphasis on creating a stimulating environment for independent research in business and economics topics, coupled with attracting and supporting high-profile researchers with the ultimate aim of delivering first-class research outcomes. WHU further pursues its mission by combining academic rigor with tangible, practical relevance in all its research activities.
For us, career service means successful interaction between businesses, WHU, our alumni and our students. By conducting numerous career activities for the students in all programs we offer occupational orientation and an exciting platform for networking with company representatives and alumni. We aim to support students on their way to finding out what they want to do in their professional lives, to help them reach their goals and to facilitate a smooth transition from student life to work life. Additionally we build and foster contacts to companies and our alumni. Many companies have been actively recruiting at WHU for more than 25 years.
