A practice-oriented approach

At the HWR Berlin, our approach to academic education is strongly informed by the latest research and aligned with real world skills. Working on the foundation of modern teaching methods, constant quality assurance and quality development, we foster a significant practical application of skills in cooperation with our partners in the business, administrative and legal sectors, and in non-profit organisations and associations. The link between academic theory and applied skills is especially close in the cooperative study programmes, which represent a core element in our portfolio. We foster the ability to seek and engage in dialogue, teamwork, intercultural awareness, entrepreneurial thinking, creativity and an innovative approach to problem solving.
