Lecture halls, seminar rooms and office units are equipped with modern media technology. The nearly 8,000m2 campus gives way to a generous park facility with a subterranean parking garage below.
The nonprofit college FOM is Germany's largest private university. With 24 study centers in Germany and further facilities abroad, the colleges boasts a student body of approx. 21,000 professionals and trainees who study parallel to their profession.
