Campuses

Dortmund

Study in the Heart of the Ruhrgebiet

The campus of the private university in Dortmund was founded in 1990 and, with around 930 students, is the largest of the ISM’s locations. It is located in the middle of the technology park only 15 minutes from the city center. In recent years, Dortmund has developed from a former coal and steel city to a modern technology location. As the largest city in Westphalia and the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region, Dortmund is one of the most dynamic new economic cities in Germany.

Frankfurt/Main

Study between Skyscrapers and Old Town

The Campus Frankfurt/Main was founded in 2007 and is located in the district of Sachsenhausen, directly at the South Railway Station and only two underground stations away from the city center. Around 910 students are currently enrolled at the private university in Frankfurt. Frankfurt is the city with the highest density of jobs in Germany and a major European financial and service center.

Frankfurt/Main also has other important sectors such as creative industries, IT and telecommunications, biotechnology and life sciences, logistics, and industry.

Munich

Study in the Economic Metropolis Munich

The Munich Campus has been located in the Karlshöfen since 2009 - just a few minutes' walk from Königsplatz and easily accessible from the main train station. The roughly 750 students studying there particularly appreciate the contrasts that make the Bavarian capital so special - cosmopolitan young people and traditions, big-city atmosphere, and rural charm.

The most important economic sectors in Munich are tourism, vehicle, and mechanical engineering, electrical engineering as well as the software and IT industry. In addition, the city is an important German media location.

Hamburg

Study in the Harbor City

The Hamburg campus was opened in September 2010. Around 560 students currently study at the private University of Hamburg in two modern buildings in HafenCity. The city center and the main train station are only about ten minutes away. Whether as a cosmopolitan metropolis or a raw but charming Hanseatic city with charm - Hamburg combines many facets. It forms the cultural and economic center of Northern Germany. Hamburg's economic structure is characterized by the service sector, which employs around three-quarters of all workers.

Cologne

Study in the City of the Cathedral

Since 2014, the ISM has also been represented by a campus in Cologne. Currently, around 350 students are studying at the campus of the Cologne University of Applied Sciences in the MediaPark, just a few minutes' walk from the Hansaring S-Bahn station. The Rhine metropolis is one of the most important business locations in Germany and impresses with its convenient location and a mix of different industries.

The region has a long tradition as a center of trade and industry. In recent decades, the Cologne region has also been able to expand its position as a service and logistics center. Cologne is also well known for being an innovative media city.

Stuttgart

Study at the Business Location Stuttgart

Since 2016, ISM has also had a base in the economic metropolis of Stuttgart. The campus of the private University of Stuttgart with currently around 220 students is located within walking distance of the city center in the Heusteig quarter. Located in the heart of Europe, Stuttgart is the center of one of the strongest economic regions and most innovative high-tech locations in Europe. The city offers excellent economic perspectives - for example, as the most export-rich metropolitan region in Germany.

Berlin

Study in the Capital City Berlin

On September 2019 the ISM established a campus in Berlin. The campus is located in the heart of Berlin Schöneberg and combines culture, cosmopolitanism, and innovation. As the capital of Germany, Berlin is an important international business metropolis and political center. Therefore, the city is an attractive location for companies from all sectors.
