First Place in the WirtschaftsWoche BWL ranking

In the current WirtschaftsWoche BWL ranking, the HSG has reached the number 1 position among the universities with the strongest research in the German-speaking region.

This is the fourth time in a row that our university has topped this ranking - after 2012, 2014 (until then the Handelsblatt BWL ranking) and 2018 - and by a clear margin. This highly gratifying result reflects the research performance of SoM and SoF in particular.
