DHBW Karl­sruhe — Baden Coop­er­a­tive State University

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.
