This master file shows a course portfolio with 4 undergraduate entries and 5 postgraduate entries. We offer undergraduate studies in Business Administration, Business Informatics, Industrial Engineering and Applied Computer Science. Postgraduate options include Business Administration, Financial Management and Accounting, Marketing and Sales Management, Applied Data Science, Digital Transformation and Sustainability Each entry preserves the official parent qualification and locates pathways or concentrations within the area of specialisation rather than puffing them into separate degrees. Where the institution does not have its own doctorates, this record describes only credible co-operative doctoral research routes and states that formal admission is by a doctoral-awarding partner.
Admission to Dual Bachelor programs is subject to the selection process at NORDAKADEMIE and a study contract with an approved partner company. For Master’s programs applicants need to apply via the university’s online application route and are subject to an academic review specific to the program. Check the current program page for exact intake, language of instruction, academic requirements, selection process and document submission route before submitting. 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 the doctorate is separate from admission to the bachelor’s and master’s programs and is subject to the availability of an appropriate topic, supervision, funding and formal acceptance by the awarding university.
Partner companies usually finance the dual Bachelor's tuition and pay training remuneration, Master's and certificate fees are in accordance with the current fee statutes, the cooperative doctoral program has a fee of €5,000 per year but is not accepting new projects at present. Housing, food, health insurance, residence formalities, private travel, and optional project expenses are not included in tuition. 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 (if offered), DAAD or Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, employer sponsorship, education funds or paid research and student-assistant work. Each award is considered separately from admission.
Career preparation is part of a network of more than 300 employer partners and the Hamburg metropolitan economy and is not a guarantyd placement service. Students develop their employability through alternating corporate phases, employer projects, international mobility, part-time master’s assignments, applied research and company linked theses. Alumni and professional networks can provide mentorship, industry insights, and connections, but students are ultimately responsible for their applications and career decisions. The institution is especially suitable for applicants who want highly structured dual studies, high employer involvement, small cohorts, international experience and working professional graduate education if their previous education, evidence of language skills, study format and financing match the current program requirements.
