Hands-on Orientation

The hands-on education at the ISM allows students to integrate themselves quickly into the diverse tasks at a company, and to take on personnel and budget responsibilities at an early stage.

In order to make this possible, the ISM programs are constantly geared towards to the requirements of the real world. Since most of the instructors are from the business world, they are able to provide the students with practical knowledge through teaching and research. Depending on their major, students participate in market research projects, hands-on assignments, or other projects. By serving on the Board of Trustees, influential corporate representatives help to shape the ISM's educational concept. They give students the opportunity to do internships and consulting projects for class credit at their companies. By taking advantage of these opportunities, ISM students gain extensive experience with solving practical problems in daily professional life. In addition, ISM students have direct contact to company representatives by participating in company presentations, career fairs, and case studies. Students can discuss their career opportunities with these representatives in a personal atmosphere. The growing number of ISM alumni also enriches the ISM network.
