CHE Ranking, national ranking of teaching and studies
In addition to facts about studies, teaching and research, the CHE University Ranking includes students' judgements about the study conditions at their university. Every three years, all of our Bachelor's programmes in the faculties of Technology and Business and Law are ranked in changing clusters. With over 120,000 students surveyed and more than 300 universities and universities of applied sciences examined, the CHE University Ranking is the most comprehensive and detailed comparison of universities in the German-speaking world.
Top results in the areas of "contact with professional practice" as well as "support at the beginning of studies" - in the current 2022 ranking of the Centre for Higher Education Development (CHE), the education at the Faculty of Engineering at Pforzheim University is rated as above average. This year, the four Bachelor's degree programmes "Electrical Engineering/ Information Technology", "Mechanical Engineering/ Product Development", "Mechanical Engineering/ Production Engineering and Management" and "Mechatronics" were evaluated. The overall result of the CHE University Ranking is composed not only of the student assessment but also of general figures, data and facts of the respective university surveyed.
In the CHE Ranking 2020, the 11 Bachelor's programmes in Business Administration and the programme in Business Law achieved top rankings in all four assessment categories for successful study: support at the beginning of the programme - teaching and the study situation - contact with professional practice - graduation in a reasonable time. This means that the degree programmes once again belong to the top group in the German educational landscape. The Bachelor's degree programmes in Business Information Systems belong to the top group in Germany, especially in terms of support at the beginning of studies and contact with professional practice.
