Founding and association

bbw University of Applied Sciences is wholly owned and operated by the bbw Akademie für Betriebswirtschaftliche Weiterbildung GmbH.

Profile

The founding principle was to establish a new model of cooperation between business and science in the Berlin-Brandenburg metropolitan region, and to specialize in courses focused on economics and engineering. Due to the fact that the university operates under the trusteeship of the Berlin-Brandenburg Business Associations, its motto is "The University of Business for Business". This trusteeship model facilitates close connection between academic course content and its practical relevance to the workplace.[3]
