Steinbeis-Hochschule Berlin (SHB) (or Steinbeis University) is a private, state-approved university in Germany, well-known for its focus on applied research and industry-oriented education. [2] It is primarily known for its cooperative education programs with large german corporations such as Siemens, Mercedes, Porsche, SAP, Deutsche Telekom and Bosch. [3] The university is based in Berlin and has supplementary campuses in Baden-Württemberg.
It operates under the Steinbeis Foundation, which emphasizes knowledge and technology transfer between academia and business. Founded in 1998, the university offers programs that are often part-time or project-based, designed for working professionals who want to integrate their academic learning with real-world business challenges. [4]
Steinbeis University’s programs span a range of fields, including business, management, engineering, and technology, with a strong emphasis on practical, hands-on projects. [5]
As early as 1994, the Steinbeis Foundation was working on the fundamentals of a new academy. The idea of a private Steinbeis University in Baden-Württemberg was soon in coming. The circumstances at the time, however, were not advantageous. As a result, Johann Löhn, the then chairman of the board, chose not to pursue the idea further.
The Secretary of State at the time, Erich Thies, was a strong advocate of the university. After discussion with the Berlin State Senate, Steinbeis received state approval to move forward with SHB. The university opened in autumn of 1998 offering the MBE (Master of Business and Engineering).
1999 saw the introduction of the MedienMBA, the first MBA for senior managers working in the German media. In 2000 SHB added MBA degrees for Chinese executives and German fast-track employees. In 2001 SHB launched its first bachelor's degree program.
The university is organized as a business, with the institutes acting more like "companies within a company". Degrees based on this model require students to "partner" with a company at the start of their studies and create a project that applies learned knowledge to a realistic business challenge.
Over 4000 employed professionals are enrolled in SHB.
Until this university of applied sciences lost its right to award doctorates in 2016, it offered doctoral programs (PhD or the German PhD equivalent Dr. rer. oec.). Since then, doctoral programs have continued to be offered, but always in cooperation with and with a degree certificate from partner universities in other European countries.

A Master of Business Engineering(MBE) also Master of Engineering Management (MEM) is a two-year master's degree. The program combines management science, business administration, law and economics, technology, and engineering. The content of this academic degree is comparable with those of a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with additional engineering and technology content. The standard period of study is 24 months. According to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), one hundred twenty credit points are awarded for the degree. It is required to hold a bachelor's degree in business administration or engineering to get admission to this Master's program.
The Master of Business Engineering (MBE) is an emerging degree. The primary objective of the Master's degree program in Management Engineering is to cultivate individuals who possess not only the technical proficiency to apply engineering principles and methodologies, but also possess the aptitude to effectively manage, coordinate, and guide individuals, projects, departments, and enterprises. The course emphasizes the development of effective decision-making abilities in situations characterized by uncertainty.
MBE provides students with the opportunity to acquire knowledge and cultivate skills necessary for the design and management of intricate organizations. This includes aspects such as personnel management, marketing, financial management, production, logistics, project management, and resource allocation. The course aims to equip students with the necessary tools to efficiently address and resolve organizational challenges.The demand for MBE graduates is projected to expand as employers increasingly seek professionals with integrated business and engineering acumen. MBE holders may pursue careers across industries like manufacturing, logistics, energy, healthcare, or consulting. With experience, MBE graduates may ascend and attain top leadership positions within their respective industries, overseeing teams of engineers, managers, and other professionals. Their cross-functional skillset allows them to effectively communicate complex technical concepts to business stakeholders.
The MBE degree is as rigorous as an MBA program, if not more so, and typically requires two years of full-time study to complete. It equips professionals with the skills to lead complex engineering projects and excel in management positions.
