"Business Administration with a focus on Management, Controlling & Information", "International Business Administration with a focus on Management" and "Health Economics in Practice" - with these degree programs, the Department of Management, Controlling, HealthCare at Ludwigshafen University of Business and Society (HWG LU) is positioned in the top group in the current university ranking by CHE and ZEIT.
As one of four universities in Rhineland-Palatinate, the HWG Ludwigshafen University of Business and Society and its Management, Controlling, HealthCare Department took part in the current CHE University Ranking. The results published today show that the Department of Management, Controlling, HealthCare is very well positioned with its study programs: In the degree programs examined, the Department is attested very good supervision by the teaching staff and very good support when entering university and in the first year of study. In terms of "contact with professional practice", the Bachelor's programs are particularly impressive, ranking in the top group here. The International Business Administration degree program with a focus on management is also among the top group in terms of its international orientation.
According to the detailed evaluation of the 2019 student survey, in which a good two thirds of respondents took part, the dual degree program in Health Economics in Practice (GiP) made it into the top group in six categories - "General study situation", "Study organization", "Supervision", "Support during studies", "Examinations" and "Library". The students surveyed saw particular potential for improvement in the opportunities for studying abroad. Those responsible have already taken countermeasures here and integrated an optional semester abroad in the further development of the degree programs.
The non-dual Bachelor's degree programs also scored highly in the factual indicator "contact with professional practice": both the Business Administration with a focus on Management, Controlling and Information (BMC) and the International Business Administration with a focus on Management (BIM) are in the top group with 9 out of 12 points each. The practice-oriented courses and the practical exchange with external practitioners were particularly positively highlighted.
The degree programs in International Business Administration with a focus on Management (BIM) also ranked in the top group for the factual indicator "International orientation of studies and education". In terms of "student mobility", BIM also received the highest score (3/3 points).
The press release published today by CHE and ZEIT summarizes accordingly: The Management, Controlling, HealthCare Department "receives a very good rating from [its] dual students for many criteria. They are very satisfied with their general study situation and, among other criteria, with the supervision and organization of their studies. In terms of research and education, the subject shines with very good support at the beginning of the course and very good contact with professional practice."
"Study with personal support. - Internationality made to measure. - Practice-oriented studies. - Benefit from networks. - What reads like a summary of the results of the CHE ranking are the core elements of the Department's profile," says Dean Prof. Dr. Eveline Häusler, adding: "The CHE ranking confirms that we as the Department of Management, Controlling, HealthCare are well on the way to actually making the aspirations set out in our profile tangible for students. This is all the more important given that the degree programs in Controlling and Management were again awarded the seal of (re-)accreditation by the Accreditation Council just last year." Prof. Dr. Häusler would like to thank the university's Central units, which have provided indispensable support, for example with regard to semesters and internships abroad as well as the offers for first-semester students.

About the CHE ranking:
With around 120,000 students surveyed and more than 300 universities and universities of applied sciences/universities of applied sciences (HAW) as well as dual universities and vocational academies, the ranking is, by its own account, the most comprehensive and detailed comparison of universities in the German-speaking world. The CHE University Ranking asks current students about their study conditions in general as well as specific criteria such as supervision, support during studies or for studying abroad, the range of courses, the organization of studies or examinations. They also assess the career guidance on offer, the academic and practical relevance, the rooms, the library facilities and the IT infrastructure. The CHE also collects facts on education and research.
The ZEIT Study Guide publishes excerpts from the ranking at www.zeit.de/studienfuehrer and answers questions about starting a degree course, the right place to study and financing.
