The profile of the Faculty of Business Administration (Hamburg Business School) in research and teaching at Universität Hamburg is shaped by the cosmopolitan flair of a city that plays a major role in international trade.
We combine a distinguished Hanseatic tradition of commercial trade with the methods and theories of modern, quantitative management research. Teaching and research are interdisciplinary and international in scope. We look for, uncover, and support the individual talents of our students and researchers.
We have an excellent reputation both at home and abroad for scholarship. More than
twenty-five professors teach and research in our Faculty. Our research has been rated as outstanding (e.g., in the
Handelsblatt and CHE academic rankings). Our graduates receive a very high level of education and training and are sought after in research and business. Our alumni work worldwide and many have founded start-ups. Our professors are well connected with other researchers and with managers from companies and nonprofit organizations.
We conduct
research in broad, well-established areas of the discipline
and interdisciplinary research centers such as the
Hamburg Center for Health Economics (HCHE) and the
Research Center for Media and Communication (RCMC), which operate within an international network. We conduct quantitative research and attend leading conferences around the globe to ensure scholarly exchange and engage in current discourse.
Our
academic program consists of a wide range of bachelorʼs and masterʼs degree programs with a number of elective courses. We strive to be one of the most influential universities for future leaders in academia and business and to uphold the tradition of the honorable Hanseatic merchant, thereby nurturing our ties to the University and Hamburg.
