About International School of Management (ISM) - Dortmund
The International School of Management (ISM) was founded in Dortmund in 1990. In July 2004, it became the first private university in North Rhine-Westphalia and the second nationwide to receive institutional accreditation from the German Wissenschaftsrat (Science and Humanities Council) for the maximum possible period of ten years. In June 2016, the Wissenschaftsrat decided to grant accreditation for another ten years. The ISM is thus the first private business school nationwide to receive accreditation for ten years twice in a row.
ISM has seven campuses spread across Germany. Located in close proximity to thriving companies and bustling economic centers, our offer many opportunities for cooperation. Whether you choose to study at an ISM campus in the northernmost regions, the southernmost parts, or right in the heart of the country, you can take advantage of valuable connections with nearby employers. Our students are also well integrated into their home campus. Small learning groups ensure a personal atmosphere and encourage meaningful interaction between students and their professors.
