A perfect blend of European and American education system. Best of both worlds but relatively immature and new

The university provides you with whatever an American system can offer - transdisciplinary courses throughout your 3 years embedded with the American Liberal Arts mandatory language module combination. Side by side with an intense standard European Education system compliant 3 year program.

Fascinating experience

Excellent small school with a strong focus on technology and entrepreneurship; small classes; personal experience with lecturers and staff; well-designed curriculum; good lectures and interesting guest lecturers; a lot of traveling if you don't live in Hamburg's south, but manageable for three semesters; excellent value for money compared to UK/US schools, even without receiving one of the many scholarships; financial breakeven in less than two years; well-known in northern Germany, but now more so in central Europe; each class has one or two larger successful startups, with founders frequently giving lectures on campus; the alumni network feels more like a family than a pure "business network"; the new CEO is driving growth; and there are plenty of opportunities and support provided for extracurricular activities, initiatives, etc.
