Overview

Anyone who has decided on a course of study is faced with the question: Which university is right for me? The most important criteria for first-year students, such as a semester abroad, the quality of teaching, excellent results in university rankings, career opportunities, great partner universities or networking opportunities shape your development and are therefore an integral part of ISM.

Hamburg Campus
The university focuses on degree programs in the field of business intelligence and international management. What study programs and models are available in Hamburg? At the university, we offer bachelor and master degree programs with full-time and part-time study models.

No matter what time of day, in Hamburg you are greeted with "Moin" or "Moin-Moin". Hamburg attracts many students with its Hanseatic city charm. Because besides beautiful bridges, seagulls and ships, the city has a lot to offer. At the Landungsbrücken, Binnenalster, Elbphilharmonie and the Reeperbahn there is always something going on. The famous 'Speicherstadt' in the Hafen city district, together with the Kontorhaus district, are also UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Hamburg has become an economic and cultural center and, with the largest seaport in Germany, has connections all over the world. The logistics sector is therefore one of the leading industries in Hamburg, along with the media and information industry and medicine and biotechnology.
