We have grown since 1979! We had already outgrown two buildings and a new extension was also necessary to provide the necessary space for the constantly increasing number of students and new courses of study. We started with 48 students and 32 training companies. 35 years later, we have over 3,000 students enrolled and have worked with over 1,400 companies to date. During this time, we have presented 10,000 graduates with their diplomas and over 1,000 with their bachelor’s degrees. After being elevated to the status of a regular institution of the state in the early 1980s, we have now been formally granted university status since March 1, 2009, becoming the Duale Hochschule Baden Württemberg Karlsruhe — DHBW Karlsruhe for short. The optimal conditions of the Karlsruhe location with its flourishing economy on the one hand and the top-class academic institutions on the other hand allow us to look to the future with optimism. Those who can benefit from the best of both worlds will continue to grow strongly in the coming years.
