The European Business School (ebs), International University Schloß Reichartshausen, was founded in 1971. As a Business School the ebs excels at combining theory and practice in teaching as well as in research. The university's activities focus on 3 core areas: undergraduate and postgraduate programs, executive education and research. The European Business School has the right to award doctorates and habilitations.

Another focus of education is set on personality development: every student has the option to receive several coaching sessions from successful business managers in each semester. Apart from their studies in business and economics students participate in a studium universale which teaches important concepts of philosophy and ethics. Furthermore students get together in student initiatives, so called "ressorts", to address social concerns or organize special events. The most important one of these is the annual ebs Symposium which brings together renowned personalities of business and politics with students and journalists to discuss current business issues.

The ebs also offers executive education and off-the-job training for leaders and future leaders in management.

Besides the Business School, four affiliated academies offer a number of Post-Graduate-Studies: the ebs Immobilienakademie (ebs Academy of Real Estate), the ebs Finanzakademie (ebs Academy of Finance), the ebs Gesundheitsakademie (ebs Academy of Health) and the ebs Management Academy.

[edit] Other European Business Schools

Decades ago, the ebs created a European network of private business schools. While some of the former member institutions continue to operate under the same name (e.g. European Business School of London) and have since joined new alliances, the ebs is no longer affiliated with any of them.
