The bbw Hochschule - University of Applied Sciences is accredited by the German Council for Science and Humanities - the most important scientific policy advisory panel in Germany - and likewise recognised both nationally and internationally. The German Science Council commended the overall successful establishment and expansion of the University, its practical orientation, the range of study programmes in keeping with its third-level education profile, the solid financial planning, the extensive network of co-operation partners from industry and the application-based research plans.
New accents were set during the reporting period in the combination of research and teaching at the bbw Hochschule - University of Applied Sciences. For example, the research results from the DiNöB project on digital narration were used directly in the courses given at the bbw Hochschule - University of Applied Sciences.
The aim is to find emotional access to economic topics for learners. The didactic method of narration made this possible - it combines cognitive with affective learning. With the help of stories that relate to the concrete working and living environments of the learners, complex contexts, their relevance for one's own life as well as the meaningfulness of the discussion with them can be made clear.
In addition, a process was established together with the student parliament for the digital announcement and filling of positions for academic assistants, so that bbw students can be directly involved in research projects and gradually introduced to practical academic work through studies, bachelor's and master's theses within the framework of research projects, and motivated to professional academic work and their own publications.
Here you can find the current research report of the bbw Hochschule - University of Applied Sciences for the years 2022 to 2023. It describes the research results and current research projects as well as scientific publications of the scientific staff in lectures and media.
