Goethe University
Goethe University was established in 1914 by and for the citizens of Frankfurt. In 1932, it was named after one of the city’s most renowned natives, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Today, the university has grown to become the third largest in Germany, with over 45,000 students, 16 research departments, and 650 professorships.
Campus Westend
Campus Westend serves as one of the five locations and the headquarters of Goethe University Frankfurt, providing highly attractive and modern study conditions. If you seek a cutting-edge learning environment with a distinctive international atmosphere, Goethe University’s centrally located campus is the ideal choice for you. All GBS programs are held in the modern lecture halls on Campus Westend. Additionally, you will find multiple student cafeterias (Mensa), bistros, and coffee bars, as well as the most important libraries housing relevant business literature (campus map).
Faculty of Economics and Business
GBS is closely connected to Goethe University’s Faculty of Economics and Business, which counts among the most attractive business administration faculties in Germany – and among the largest, with more than 60 professorships in seven main research areas. This is due not only to the successful link between theory and practice of the faculty’s activities but also to its openness to a broad spectrum of theoretical, practical, and sociopolitical topics. As one of the first faculties in Germany, the Faculty of Economics and Business was recognized in 2005 with the seal of approval from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Since then, the Faculty has continuously demonstrated the highest standards in research and high-quality teaching within the degree programs, which also includes the GBS Master programs.
House of Finance
In 2008 and immediately after its completion, GBS moved its headquarters to the House of Finance (HoF) on Campus Westend to complement to the open forum for exchange and cooperation between academia, politics and practice. Besides GBS, the House of Finance hosts various interdisciplinary research and other educational training activities in the area of finance and financial law, such as the renowned Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE. A group of 30 professors and a total of around 170 researchers work here – creating one of the largest research groups for financial and monetary themes in Europe.
