  1. Goethe University Frankfurt, positioned among the top international research universities, offers a wide variety of academic programs, a diverse group of research institutes, and a focus on interdisciplinary approaches to solving complex problems. The university is named after Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the Frankfurt-born polymath renowned for his exceptional contributions to literature, science, and philosophy. Founded in 1914 with private funding and inspired by the legacy of the European Enlightenment, Goethe University stands out as a pioneering "citizens' university"—and the history of the university is one of openness and public participation. Today, Goethe University is one of the only universities in Germany that enjoys significant public funding alongside administrative autonomy and creating a private endowment. As a university with an endowment, a funding model rare in Germany's higher education system, GU enjoys considerable freedom from state control when it comes to the details of how a modern university should be run, including the appointing of professors. The endowment that is being built up will be explicitly invested in promoting an excellent atmosphere to research, study, think and create. Situated in Germany's most cosmopolitan and international city, the university attracts a diverse body of students and researchers from around the world. Students at Goethe benefit from studying and living in Frankfurt, the largest financial and trading center in Europe—with plenty of opportunities to learn and practice speaking German. Today, Frankfurt is rated among the top 10 most liveable cities globally (according to Mercier Human Resource Consulting). Goethe University was founded in 1914 as a unique "citizens' university," financed by wealthy citizens in Frankfurt, Germany. Named in 1932 after one of the city's most famous natives, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, today the university has over 38,000 students. Looking at Goethe University's history timeline, it is clear that the last decade has produced significant changes for the university and a clear forward momentum. Once considered a liberal or left-leaning institution, Goethe University is perhaps best known as the birthplace of the influential Frankfurt School, part of the Institute for Social Research—which spawned some of Europe's leading thinkers of the 20thcentury (including, for example, Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Jürgen Habermas, Herbert Marcuse, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Martin Buber, and Paul Tillich). Because of racial and political tensions during the Nazi era, close to one-third of the university's academic staff were dismissed during this period—more than at any other German university. Goethe University also played a significant role in the student protests of 1968 that led to widespread educational reforms in Germany and Europe. In recent years, Goethe University has maintained its reputation in the social sciences but added critical new facilities and research institutes in the natural sciences and law, history, languages, humanities, the arts, and economics. Its "clusters of excellence," interdisciplinary research centers, have helped to sharpen the university's academic profile, achieving outstanding results in diverse areas ranging from natural sciences ("Macromolecular Complexes") to medicine ("Cardio-Pulmonary System," a cluster of excellence in collaboration with the University of Giessen and the Max-Planck-Institute for Heart and Lung Research in Bad Nauheim, which conducts cutting edge research for novel therapy of heart and lung diseases) and humanities and social sciences ("The Formation of Normative Orders"). Goethe University is strongly committed to supporting young researchers by offering outstanding opportunities to earn a doctoral degree. At many universities, researchers have to choose between earning a Ph.D. the "traditional" way in Germany or as part of a "structured" Ph.D. program. At Goethe University, all doctoral candidates are eligible to apply to become members of the Goethe Graduate Academy (GRADE) and access unique training and networking opportunities that are the hallmark of more structured programs. Finally, one should mention the university's ambitious "think tanks": the newly founded Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS) and the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities, which sees itself as a laboratory for the innovative knowledge society. The university was also a forerunner in the "Bologna Process" that helped to ease student mobility in and out of over 40 European countries by standardizing degree structures. Starting in 2005, Goethe University began offering the first master's programs. The switch from the traditional German Diplom or Magister to the bachelor's and master's system will be complete in the winter semester 2011/12. Today, Goethe University offers many individual courses and degree programs in English, another major shift. Four master's economics programs are taught entirely in English; another is a bilingual (German and English) program. Many master's programs in the natural sciences can also be studied without a comprehensive knowledge of the German language. Doctoral studies in a wide variety of fields can also often be undertaken in English. In 2001, the university was the first major university in Germany to become a foundation university, meaning that the state of Hessen would still provide funding to cover most of the annual budget. However, the university would establish a private endowment and enjoy full administrative autonomy in matters such as faculty appointments. Goethe University now has a robust alumni association. It has raised €145.5 million (feste Zusagen it eingerechnet) and created more than 50 new endowed and visiting professorships—a vital re-affirmation of the university's identity as a "citizens' university." The state of Hessen is investing a total of €1.2 billion to help create a real campus environment in Frankfurt with three distinct locations: Campus Westend for the humanities and social sciences, Campus Riedberg for natural sciences, and Campus Niederrad for medicine. The former main campus Bockenheim, which dates from the university's founding days, will no longer be in use once the new building is complete.

Concrete quality standards for fulfilling tasks are being formulated at the University of Applied Sciences Frankfurt am Main. The quality management required for this calls for regular documentation and publication and quality control and evaluation. Constructive critique - both from within the university and without – is an essential and welcome part of this process.
  3. We want to initiate a dialogue with graduates, former teaching staff, and students of the HfMDK. We want to keep in touch with you, win you as a friend of the University, and in the meantime, we endeavor to broaden the scope of artistic programs of study with your help through an alumni network. As an alumnus or alumna of the HfMDK, you will receive the university magazine "Frankfurt in Takt" and our monthly events letter by email. Furthermore, you will be invited to academic celebrations at the University and to the "Kunstübungen - exercises in arts" of the "Friends of the University". Please fill in the Alumni membership form and post or fax it (+49 (0) 69-154 007 161). Your membership in our Alumni network is free. Please keep an interested, sympathetic but critical eye on the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts development. Attend our events, visit us, keep in touch! We would be delighted. The Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts has its origins in Dr. Hoch's Konservatorium, a foundation established by the Frankfurt burgher, Dr. Joseph Hoch, in 1878. The founding Principal Joachim Raff and his successors were able to attract renowned and internationally distinguished artists as teachers at the University, such as the pianist Clara Schumann, Engelbert Humperdinck, and the cellist Hugo Becker. During the pre-World War One period, many students from all over the world studied in Frankfurt. Some of them were going on to become famous, such as Eduard McDowell, Percy Grainger, Ernst Toch, Otto Klemperer, Hans Rosbaud, and Paul Hindemith. After 1918, the Conservatorium attracted attention through new, innovative courses and contents which were promoted by Bernhard Seals, who was appointed Principal in 1923: these included founding an opera school, early musical education for very young children, courses for adults as well as the first German jazz class in 1927. We are the State of Hesse's University for music, theatre, and dance and an essential institution in Hessian cultural life. We act by our social mandate, and our community is international. We profile ourselves as active partners in an extensive field of regional, national, and international networks and renowned cultural institutions. The principles of freedom of art, generosity, intuition, and passion helped shape the University's spirit. Individual self-determination, acceptance of divergent views, and critical awareness all play a role in our identity. We generate innovation and interest in interdisciplinarity, and we provide freedom for experimentation, new working methods, and artistic research. Our artistic, educational, and scientific practice reflects the need to protect, maintain, and reinterpret our cultural legacy, and we help shape contemporary developments. We promote the participation of all citizens in the arts. We respond to changes in professional opportunities and rise to the challenges of demographic change, globalization, and digitalization. The University's central task is to train students to become professional and socially responsible artists, educators, and scientists, both in the teaching of the arts and in scientific research. Our educational concept is based on the values of the Enlightenment but at the same time takes 21st-century demands into account. In addition to focused, targeted working, the successful completion of a study course is also dependent on the availability of free space for independent artistic practice, self-discovery, and creative leisure. Students' intensive supervision characterizes the unique quality of the education provided at our University on a one-to-one basis, the employment of teachers who are artistically and scientifically active, the combination of theory and practice, and our diverse involvement projects and partnerships. The University is open to cooperation with civil society to expand our study offer and raise funds. We encourage lively discussions and facilitate participation and engagement. We treat each other with respect – in mutual recognition of individual skills – and create an atmosphere in which authenticity and creativity flourish. We see diversity as enrichment and do not tolerate discrimination in any form. We work actively towards the elimination of selfishness, bullying, and the abuse of power. We strive for improvement, using continued reflection. We see conflicts, errors, and mistakes as opportunities for change. It is based on this mission statement that we – the students, teachers, and administrative staff of the University – are developing our benchmark for quality and evaluation, and in doing so, shaping the future of our University. Frankfurt am Main, February 10, 2014 The Institute of Contemporary Music (I z M) was founded in June 2005. The concept behind it is to act as an interface between the departments, offering teaching in contemporary music for all departments of the University. This includes workshops, colloquia, guest lectures, excursions, lecture series, and symposia. The I z M initiates interdisciplinary projects and collaborates with local and national institutions, including the Ensemble Modern, the Hessischer Rundfunk, the Frankfurt Opera, the Archive Woman and Music, the State Theatre Wiesbaden, and the Donaueschinger Musiktage festival. The Institute mirrors events of local and national cultural life, bringing them into the University. In this way, the I z M promotes contemporary music both inside and outside University walls. It organizes regular events for the broader public, including the «Shortcuts» when teachers and students perform extracts from their ongoing work every two weeks. Since September 2007, the Shortcuts are also held on every third Tuesday of the month at the Museum Wiesbaden. Under the label «Ensemble I z M,» students work together on projects in different lineups. In winter semester 2006/2007, the Ensemble Modern and the HfMDK set up the master course.
  4. With a history of success that goes back decades, Frankfurt School is now one of Germany's leading business schools. In 1957, Professor Dr. Karl Friedrich Hagenmüller and Dr. Reinhold Sellien founded Bankakademie e.V. (the Banking Academy) as an association. Initially, based on the Gabler-Verlag publishing house's premises in Wiesbaden, this organization would later become the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management. The academy's mission was to provide professional training to bank employees – an activity in which it swiftly set new standards. In 1989, Bankakademie set up its own publishing house, primarily in order to distribute the association's regularly updated study materials. Since then, it has made a name for itself as a publisher specializing in financial topics. Just one year later, in 1990, the institution took another significant step forward by founding its university. This was a logical response to the impressive growth of Germany's financial sector. Banking and finance were becoming more complex and global, while investment banking was rapidly gaining in importance. Banks needed employees who, in addition to good banking knowledge, also possessed a solid grounding in economics and methodological skills and international experience. The new university, the Hochschule für Bankwirtschaft (College of Banking) – usually abbreviated to HfB – met these needs and more by providing a degree in business administration. From the outset, the course included a compulsory semester abroad and training in a foreign language. To start with, the university focused exclusively on bank employees. They would start their degree courses once they had completed their bank training, working part-time in parallel with their studies. 1992 saw the inception of the International Affairs unit, subsequently rechristened International Advisory Services (IAS). The unit's consultants and trainers managed development finance projects in emerging and developing nations. IAS swiftly earned a first-class reputation as a microfinance specialist in particular. Clients and partners included international donor organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and international finance companies. Until the concept was set up in April 2009, IAS also advised the fund management team at the European Fund for Southeast Europe (EFSE), the largest investment fund for SME finance and housing development in southeast Europe. In 1995, the Corporate Programmes & Services unit was launched. In addition to open seminars, the unit offered companies in-house training programs and outsourcing and consulting services. The new business unit met a growing demand for seminars and training courses that delivered knowledge and skills in specific economic specialization areas. The unit also helped companies to fulfill their needs in all areas of professional development. In 2000, following the Bologna Process's ratification, HB was one of the first universities in Germany to convert its degree courses to the favored Bachelor and Master formats. The range of degree programs on offer continues to expand steadily and now covers all finance and management areas. 2001 saw the creation of a subsidiary, effort AG, that focused primarily on designing e-learning tools for delivering banking and finance-related content. The Internet boom of the late 1990s had a direct impact on learning and study methods. E-learning elements were used to supplement classroom-style seminars and more conventional approaches based on textbooks and study materials. Shortly after this, in 2003, the organization engaged in its first joint venture by acquiring a stake in the Shanghai International Banking & Finance Institute (SIBFI). Today, the Frankfurt School is the majority shareholder. In 2004, HB gained the right to award doctorates to become a state-recognized university. The research side was expanded. The Doctoral Programme in Finance, Management & Accounting was launched. And the organization became steadily more international. Most Master's programs were now taught exclusively in English. In early 2007, just in time to celebrate the institution's fiftieth anniversary, all the university's educational and advisory services were united under the umbrella of a new brand: Frankfurt School of Finance & Management. During 2007, Frankfurt School also absorbed vbb – Vereinigung für Bankberufsbildung e. V. (Association for Professional Bank Training), in the process combining the experience and skills of two of the German finance industry's longest-serving educational and advisory institutions. In April 2009, Frankfurt School transferred all management and consulting activities aimed at funds specializing in development finance to a dedicated subsidiary: ConCap Connective Capital. Frankfurt School's Finance Department is one of the biggest centers for economic research in Germany. The emphasis in research and teaching is on Banking, Corporate Finance, Mergers & Acquisitions, Risk Management, Financial Regulation, Asset and Liquidity Management, Quantitative Finance, and Development Finance. Members of the finance department publish in leading finance journals, including the Journal of Finance, the Review of Financial Studies, and the Journal of Financial Economics, and frequently present their research at leading international finance conferences. The department is very internationally oriented, with many of its faculty members have worked at leading international business schools such as Wharton, INSEAD, LSE or Oxford. Members of the department teach in Frankfurt School's Bachelor, Master, and Doctoral Programmes. A strong network and connections with the financial industry and central banks guarantee significant contributions to topical issues in finance.

The switch from the traditional German Diplom or Magister to the bachelor's and master's system will be complete in the winter semester 2011/12. Today, Goethe University offers many individual courses and degree programs in English, another major shift. Four master's economics programs are taught entirely in English; another is a bilingual (German and English) program. Many master's programs in the natural sciences can also be studied without a comprehensive knowledge of the German language. Doctoral studies in a wide variety of fields can also often be undertaken in English. In 2001, the university was the first major university in Germany to become a foundation university, meaning that the state of Hessen would still provide funding to cover most of the annual budget. However, the university would establish a private endowment and enjoy full administrative autonomy in matters such as faculty appointments. Goethe University now has a robust alumni association. It has raised €145.5 million (feste Zusagen it eingerechnet) and created more than 50 new endowed and visiting professorships—a vital re-affirmation of the university's identity as a "citizens' university." The state of Hessen is investing a total of €1.2 billion to help create a real campus environment in Frankfurt with three distinct locations: Campus Westend for the humanities and social sciences, Campus Riedberg for natural sciences, and Campus Niederrad for medicine. The former main campus Bockenheim, which dates from the university's founding days, will no longer be in use once the new building is complete. View full university

We want to keep in touch with you, win you as a friend of the University, and in the meantime, we endeavor to broaden the scope of artistic programs of study with your help through an alumni network. As an alumnus or alumna of the HfMDK, you will receive the university magazine "Frankfurt in Takt" and our monthly events letter by email. Furthermore, you will be invited to academic celebrations at the University and to the "Kunstübungen - exercises in arts" of the "Friends of the University". Please fill in the Alumni membership form and post or fax it (+49 (0) 69-154 007 161). Your membership in our Alumni network is free. Please keep an interested, sympathetic but critical eye on the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts development. Attend our events, visit us, keep in touch! We would be delighted. The Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts has its origins in Dr. Hoch's Konservatorium, a foundation established by the Frankfurt burgher, Dr. Joseph Hoch, in 1878. The founding Principal Joachim Raff and his successors were able to attract renowned and internationally distinguished artists as teachers at the University, such as the pianist Clara Schumann, Engelbert Humperdinck, and the cellist Hugo Becker. During the pre-World War One period, many students from all over the world studied in Frankfurt. Some of them were going on to become famous, such as Eduard McDowell, Percy Grainger, Ernst Toch, Otto Klemperer, Hans Rosbaud, and Paul Hindemith. After 1918, the Conservatorium attracted attention through new, innovative courses and contents which were promoted by Bernhard Seals, who was appointed Principal in 1923: these included founding an opera school, early musical education for very young children, courses for adults as well as the first German jazz class in 1927. We are the State of Hesse's University for music, theatre, and dance and an essential institution in Hessian cultural life. We act by our social mandate, and our community is international. We profile ourselves as active partners in an extensive field of regional, national, and international networks and renowned cultural institutions. The principles of freedom of art, generosity, intuition, and passion helped shape the University's spirit. Individual self-determination, acceptance of divergent views, and critical awareness all play a role in our identity. We generate innovation and interest in interdisciplinarity, and we provide freedom for experimentation, new working methods, and artistic research. Our artistic, educational, and scientific practice reflects the need to protect, maintain, and reinterpret our cultural legacy, and we help shape contemporary developments. We promote the participation of all citizens in the arts. We respond to changes in professional opportunities and rise to the challenges of demographic change, globalization, and digitalization. The University's central task is to train students to become professional and socially responsible artists, educators, and scientists, both in the teaching of the arts and in scientific research. Our educational concept is based on the values of the Enlightenment but at the same time takes 21st-century demands into account. In addition to focused, targeted working, the successful completion of a study course is also dependent on the availability of free space for independent artistic practice, self-discovery, and creative leisure. Students' intensive supervision characterizes the unique quality of the education provided at our University on a one-to-one basis, the employment of teachers who are artistically and scientifically active, the combination of theory and practice, and our diverse involvement projects and partnerships. The University is open to cooperation with civil society to expand our study offer and raise funds. We encourage lively discussions and facilitate participation and engagement. We treat each other with respect – in mutual recognition of individual skills – and create an atmosphere in which authenticity and creativity flourish. We see diversity as enrichment and do not tolerate discrimination in any form. We work actively towards the elimination of selfishness, bullying, and the abuse of power. We strive for improvement, using continued reflection. We see conflicts, errors, and mistakes as opportunities for change. It is based on this mission statement that we – the students, teachers, and administrative staff of the University – are developing our benchmark for quality and evaluation, and in doing so, shaping the future of our University. Frankfurt am Main, February 10, 2014 The Institute of Contemporary Music (I z M) was founded in June 2005. The concept behind it is to act as an interface between the departments, offering teaching in contemporary music for all departments of the University. This includes workshops, colloquia, guest lectures, excursions, lecture series, and symposia. The I z M initiates interdisciplinary projects and collaborates with local and national institutions, including the Ensemble Modern, the Hessischer Rundfunk, the Frankfurt Opera, the Archive Woman and Music, the State Theatre Wiesbaden, and the Donaueschinger Musiktage festival. The Institute mirrors events of local and national cultural life, bringing them into the University. In this way, the I z M promotes contemporary music both inside and outside University walls. It organizes regular events for the broader public, including the «Shortcuts» when teachers and students perform extracts from their ongoing work every two weeks. Since September 2007, the Shortcuts are also held on every third Tuesday of the month at the Museum Wiesbaden. Under the label «Ensemble I z M,» students work together on projects in different lineups. In winter semester 2006/2007, the Ensemble Modern and the HfMDK set up the master course.

  9. With a history of success that goes back decades, Frankfurt School is now one of Germany's leading business schools. In 1957, Professor Dr. Karl Friedrich Hagenmüller and Dr. Reinhold Sellien founded Bankakademie e.V. (the Banking Academy) as an association. Initially, based on the Gabler-Verlag publishing house's premises in Wiesbaden, this organization would later become the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management. The academy's mission was to provide professional training to bank employees – an activity in which it swiftly set new standards. In 1989, Bankakademie set up its own publishing house, primarily in order to distribute the association's regularly updated study materials. Since then, it has made a name for itself as a publisher specializing in financial topics. Just one year later, in 1990, the institution took another significant step forward by founding its university. This was a logical response to the impressive growth of Germany's financial sector. Banking and finance were becoming more complex and global, while investment banking was rapidly gaining in importance. Banks needed employees who, in addition to good banking knowledge, also possessed a solid grounding in economics and methodological skills and international experience. The new university, the Hochschule für Bankwirtschaft (College of Banking) – usually abbreviated to HfB – met these needs and more by providing a degree in business administration. From the outset, the course included a compulsory semester abroad and training in a foreign language. To start with, the university focused exclusively on bank employees. They would start their degree courses once they had completed their bank training, working part-time in parallel with their studies. 1992 saw the inception of the International Affairs unit, subsequently rechristened International Advisory Services (IAS). The unit's consultants and trainers managed development finance projects in emerging and developing nations. IAS swiftly earned a first-class reputation as a microfinance specialist in particular. Clients and partners included international donor organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and international finance companies. Until the concept was set up in April 2009, IAS also advised the fund management team at the European Fund for Southeast Europe (EFSE), the largest investment fund for SME finance and housing development in southeast Europe. In 1995, the Corporate Programmes & Services unit was launched. In addition to open seminars, the unit offered companies in-house training programs and outsourcing and consulting services. The new business unit met a growing demand for seminars and training courses that delivered knowledge and skills in specific economic specialization areas. The unit also helped companies to fulfill their needs in all areas of professional development. In 2000, following the Bologna Process's ratification, HB was one of the first universities in Germany to convert its degree courses to the favored Bachelor and Master formats. The range of degree programs on offer continues to expand steadily and now covers all finance and management areas. 2001 saw the creation of a subsidiary, effort AG, that focused primarily on designing e-learning tools for delivering banking and finance-related content. The Internet boom of the late 1990s had a direct impact on learning and study methods. E-learning elements were used to supplement classroom-style seminars and more conventional approaches based on textbooks and study materials. Shortly after this, in 2003, the organization engaged in its first joint venture by acquiring a stake in the Shanghai International Banking & Finance Institute (SIBFI). Today, the Frankfurt School is the majority shareholder. In 2004, HB gained the right to award doctorates to become a state-recognized university. The research side was expanded. The Doctoral Programme in Finance, Management & Accounting was launched. And the organization became steadily more international. Most Master's programs were now taught exclusively in English. In early 2007, just in time to celebrate the institution's fiftieth anniversary, all the university's educational and advisory services were united under the umbrella of a new brand: Frankfurt School of Finance & Management. During 2007, Frankfurt School also absorbed vbb – Vereinigung für Bankberufsbildung e. V. (Association for Professional Bank Training), in the process combining the experience and skills of two of the German finance industry's longest-serving educational and advisory institutions. In April 2009, Frankfurt School transferred all management and consulting activities aimed at funds specializing in development finance to a dedicated subsidiary: ConCap Connective Capital. Frankfurt School's Finance Department is one of the biggest centers for economic research in Germany. The emphasis in research and teaching is on Banking, Corporate Finance, Mergers & Acquisitions, Risk Management, Financial Regulation, Asset and Liquidity Management, Quantitative Finance, and Development Finance. Members of the finance department publish in leading finance journals, including the Journal of Finance, the Review of Financial Studies, and the Journal of Financial Economics, and frequently present their research at leading international finance conferences. The department is very internationally oriented, with many of its faculty members have worked at leading international business schools such as Wharton, INSEAD, LSE or Oxford. Members of the department teach in Frankfurt School's Bachelor, Master, and Doctoral Programmes. A strong network and connections with the financial industry and central banks guarantee significant contributions to topical issues in finance. View full university
