Highest recognition for management education
All 13 Bachelor's programs in Business Administration have been awarded the "EFMD-accredited" seal of quality by the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD). The simultaneous accreditation of all B.Sc. programs was made possible by the Pforzheim Model: The programs have a common core of subjects in Business Administration, Economics, Quantitative Methods and Law, complemented by different specializations.
The "EFMD-accredited" seal stands for the highest quality standards in management education which has a distinct international orientation and can demonstrate high academic standards, a strong practical orientation, and a focus on ethics and sustainability.
"The EFMD accreditation emphasizes the quality of Pforzheim University as an excellent academic institution with one of the best business schools in the world. The two international accreditations are an important value proposition, of which we are very proud."
Prof. Dr. Ulrich Jautz, Rector of Pforzheim University
