University of Applied Labour Studies of the Federal Employment Agency is a private university of applied sciences in Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg. Founded in 2006, HdBA is a state-recognized and institutionally accredited university of applied sciences sponsored by Germany's Federal Employment Agency, with campuses in Mannheim and Schwerin. Its current academic profile centers on labor-market management, vocational guidance, employment counseling, case management, participation in working life, social security, and applied labor-market research. Its Mannheim and Schwerin campuses connect academic study with practice assignments in employment agencies, job centers, rehabilitation services, and cooperating social-security or labor-market organizations. The course portfolio represented in this master file contains 2 undergraduate entries and 2 postgraduate entries. Undergraduate study includes Labor-Market Management, Guidance for Education, Career and Employment. Postgraduate options include Employment-Oriented Counseling — Discontinuing, Employment-Compatible Labor-Market Master's — Planned. Each entry preserves the official parent qualification and places pathways or concentrations inside the specialization field instead of inflating them into separate degrees. Where the institution does not award doctorates independently, this record describes only credible cooperative doctoral research routes and states that formal admission belongs to a doctoral-awarding partner. Applicants do not apply directly to the university for the dual bachelor's degrees; they apply to a local Federal Employment Agency or another participating employer and enter HdBA after selection and a training contract. Applicants should verify the exact intake, teaching language, academic prerequisites, selection method, and document route on the current program page before submitting. International certificates can require certified translations, proof of equivalence, APS documentation for applicable countries, or additional language evidence. Master's committees may request module descriptions, credit details, professional experience, a portfolio, a motivation statement, or an interview. Doctoral admission is separate from bachelor's and master's enrollment and depends on a suitable topic, supervision, funding, and formal acceptance by the awarding university. The dual bachelor's degrees do not charge conventional tuition to recruited candidates, and HdBA currently advertises monthly study remuneration of €1,925 through the Federal Employment Agency employment relationship. Stated tuition normally excludes housing, food, health insurance, residence formalities, private travel, and optional project expenses. Applicants should use the live fee schedule and signed study contract as the binding sources. Funding can include BAföG for eligible students, the Deutschlandstipendium where offered, DAAD or Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, employer sponsorship, education funds, or paid research and student-assistant work; every award is assessed independently from admission. Career preparation reflects Germany's employment agencies, job centers, vocational-guidance services, rehabilitation and participation services, social security, and labor-market policy and is not a guaranteed placement service. Students strengthen employability through five four-month campus trimesters, four practice trimesters, employer assignments, counseling simulations, labor-market cases, applied research, and bachelor's theses. Alumni and professional networks can add mentoring, sector insight, and contacts, but each student remains responsible for applications and career decisions. The institution is particularly relevant to applicants seeking a salaried, highly structured dual route into employment services and vocational counseling with clear public-service career connections, provided their prior education, language evidence, study format, and financing match the current program conditions.
