In this year’s ranking, in which the employer branding consultancy Universum as usual asked HR professionals about their preferences in recruiting, MBS proves to be Germany’s most popular private university of applied sciences in the field of business administration for the third time in a row. In comparison with all German universities of applied sciences – both state and private – the university is in a strong third place and thus continues its success story of the past years.
