A special feature is on the one hand the targeted orientation of the (economic) psychological content on the practice - for example, diagnostics in particular convey the diagnostic procedures in an economic context (including test procedures for identifying professional suitability, multi-modal interview or assessment centre). In addition, in the most important basic and application subjects, the course content is developed and implemented using a practical example. The professional experience of the teachers is used to a particular extent here.

The general orientation of the university is international. Students can attend a semester abroad or international summer / winter schools.
