Alumni success stories
Few factors are as convincing to an interested business school applicant as alumni success stories — and CBS International Business School has many. The below, a mere sampling, represents the impact of an education from the best private university of applied sciences for business administration in Germany, as ranked in Wirtschaftswoche’s national university ranking.

“The best thing about studying at CBS was the high-class lecturers, the close contact with them, the intensive look into practice and the contemporary and balanced curriculum,” Roshani shares.
Utsch agrees. Her CBS degree was the ideal foundation for her to take her career into several directions, thanks to the various specialisations offered. “The studies were the perfect introduction to the business world, practical and personal,” she explains. “I knew almost all my fellow students in my year, did a lot of things besides the lectures and had the opportunity to gain practical experience outside the lectures which prepared me well for the professional world.”
Invaluable industry experience
A practical, hands-on approach brings these programmes to life. Curriculum at CBS goes hand-in-hand with business games, internships, soft skills courses and business projects — all of which take place in cooperation with well-known companies. Industry partners provide internship opportunities, curriculum advice, and cooperate on research initiatives.
They complement the empowering and inspiring learning that takes place between CBS’s talented minds working alongside internationally recognised leaders in their fields. “The practical learning in small groups prepared me optimally for today’s project and team work,” says alumna Katrin Rieger, who is now HanseMerkur’s Vice President for Sales.
