Located in the heart of Frankfurt, Campus Westend is one of the most beautiful university campuses in Germany, where tradition seamlessly blends with modernity. Surrounded by lush greenery and iconic architecture, the campus provides an inspiring environment for learning, research, and personal development. As the home of Goethe Business School, Campus Westend combines academic excellence with a vibrant community atmosphere. Students benefit from state-of-the-art facilities, cozy study areas, and a diverse range of cultural and social activities.
Faculty of Economics and Business
GBS is closely connected to Goethe University’s Faculty of Economics and Business, which counts among the most attractive business administration faculties in Germany – and among the largest, with more than 60 professorships in seven main research areas. This is due not only to the successful link between theory and practice of the faculty’s activities but also to its openness to a broad spectrum of theoretical, practical, and sociopolitical topics. As one of the first faculties in Germany, the Faculty of Economics and Business was recognized in 2005 with the seal of approval from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Since then, the Faculty has continuously demonstrated the highest standards in research and high-quality teaching within the degree programs, which also includes the GBS Master programs.
House of Finance
In 2008 and immediately after its completion, GBS moved its headquarters to the House of Finance (HoF) on Campus Westend to complement to the open forum for exchange and cooperation between academia, politics and practice. Besides GBS, the House of Finance hosts various interdisciplinary research and other educational training activities in the area of finance and financial law, such as the renowned Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE. A group of 30 professors and a total of around 170 researchers work here – creating one of the largest research groups for financial and monetary themes in Europe.
