The course portfolio in this master file is 5 undergraduate and 4 postgraduate entries. Undergraduate study program is Business Administration, Communication Management, Security Management, Social Work, Studium Individuale. The postgraduate options are Business Management, Controlling & Finance, Real Estate Management, Digital and Sustainable Business. Each entry keeps the parent qualification and embeds pathways or concentrations within the specialisation field rather than expanding them into separate degrees. Where the institution does not award doctorates independently, this record refers to formal admission belonging to a doctoral-awarding partner and only describes credible cooperative doctoral research routes.

NBS has rolling admission, with no NC. Standard semesters begin March 15 and September 15, with program places filled until the published late-enrollment cutoff date, if available. Applicants are advised to check the exact intake, teaching language, academic requirements, selection process and document path on the up-to-date program page before applying. International certificates may require certified translations, proof of equivalency, APS documentation for relevant countries or other language proof. Master’s committees may require module descriptions, credit details, professional experience, a portfolio, a motivation statement or an interview. Admission to a doctoral program is separate from enrolment in a bachelor's or master's program and depends on a suitable topic, supervision, funding and formal acceptance by the awarding university.

Published examples vary from around €480 per month for full-time BWL and €294 for part-time BWL; master’s fees depend on course and payment plan and there may be fees for thesis or transport. The stated tuition does not cover housing, food, health insurance, residence formalities, private travel or optional project expenses. Applicants will be subject to the live fee schedule and signed study contract. Eligible students may receive funding in the form of BAföG, the Deutschlandstipendium (where offered), DAAD or Erasmus+ mobility funding, foundations, sponsorship by employers, educational funds or paid research and student-assistant work. Each award is assessed separately from admission.

Career preparation is not a guarantyd placement service, but is instead a reflection of the business, communications, property, security, public-affairs and social-service ecosystem that is Hamburg. Students boost their employability through a full-time practical semester, the 100-day Social Work placement, security exercises, corporate projects, career-service referrals and applied theses. Alumni and professional networks offer mentoring, sector insight and contacts but each student is responsible for their applications and career decisions. The institution is especially useful to applicants wanting flexible, NC-free, closely supervised study with the option to choose between hybrid campus participation and online part-time delivery, provided that their previous education, language evidence, study format and financing are in line with the current program conditions.
