Wiesbaden Business School
in Wiesbaden
Welcome to the BGW!
Wiesbaden Business School works closely with business and administration to promote practice-oriented training and science transfer. The Business School supports this cooperation through appropriate measures, contacts and financial means within the scope of its possibilities. Companies, private individuals, the City of Wiesbaden and the Chamber of Industry and Commerce have been involved in this for more than 40 years.
Inspired by several years of case-by-case cooperation between the Wiesbaden Business School and individual companies from business and administration, a support association was founded. This is supported by business and administration in the Wiesbaden area, the Chamber of Industry and Commerce and the City of Wiesbaden itself.
The society was registered as a registered association at the beginning of 1979 and has the following objectives:
- The society promotes cooperation between business and administration with the higher education institution.
- The society aims to provide a discussion platform for business management topics and current issues from practical experience.
- The society also aims to materially promote the practice-oriented training of business people at the higher education institution.
- In the long term, a concept will be developed to establish a research community.
Every year, the Betriebswirtschaftliche Gesellschaft Wiesbaden e.V. awards a prize for special academic achievements, which is endowed with 2,500 euros.
All bachelor's and master's degree graduates of Wiesbaden Business School are invited to apply for this award:
- Application deadline for graduates in the winter semester is March 15.
- Application deadline for graduates in the summer semester is August 31.
The prize is awarded annually in spring and the BGW is looking forward to receiving a large number of applications.
