The full-time MA program is one of the first of its kind to have successfully undergone the new official accreditation procedure established by the German government in spring 2000.

In its assessment, the German Accreditation Council (www.Akkreditierungsrat.de) stated:

“The concept presented by the Faculty of Business Administration of the Giessen University of Applied Sciences* is well balanced and very convincing. The skills already demonstrated by this  Faculty in the field of practice-oriented management training, above all in marketing, have been redrafted and internationalised. International student mobility is been taken very seriously. A study semester abroad forms an integral part of this MA program. Priority has been given to developments and applications in the field of International Marketing and Sales. The presented learning outcomes, the proven competence of the faculty and its experience in dealing with foreign partner institutions render this concept fully consistent with the needs of the labour market and the students.”
*since march 2011 re-named into Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM), univesity of applied sciences

The Program was successfully re-accredited.
