Once again, HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management is presenting itself as a leading private business school in Germany. The results of a survey by the trendence institute show: HHL has Germany's most satisfied students.

HHL has landed in the top positions in five of nine categories as part of a comparison of 109 universities in Germany. The empirical basis of this year's trendence Graduate Barometer Business Edition is a survey which was carried out amongst 14,600 business students during the 2012/13 winter and summer terms.

The 2013 Graduate Barometer attests to HHL's leading role in Germany regarding:

• Career opportunities provided by the university
• Cooperation of the university with the economy
• Quality and up-to-date status of the library
• Quality and availability of the IT infrastructure
• Quality and service of the counseling institutions

Asked why they chose to study at HHL students responded with "Good results in school rankings" (84.6%) particularly often, in addition to "International orientation of the school, study conditions" (74.4%).

The major fields of study for HHLers are the subjects "International Management" and "Entrepreneurship", followed by "Finance" and "Marketing".

The 2013 trendence Graduate Barometer determined reliability, flexibility, social competency, resilience as well as pursuit of success to be the strengths of the HHL students.

The current survey proves the Leipzig business students' will to perform well with figures. While HHL students are prepared to work an average of 64 hours per week, students of Master's programs in business administration offered by other universities stated they wanted to invest only 46 hours for their jobs.

One third more of HHL students are committed to off-campus projects compared to students from other Master's programs in business administration (93% vs. 61%).

HHL students say about their school (excerpt):
• "Outstanding academic training with a focus on practice; excellent contacts."
• "The offer with regard to professional competence, courses with great practical relevance, networking opportunities and intensive counseling is excellent and unique."
• "(...) The integration of the practical world into the lectures by means of field projects with the industry and counseling are worth emphasizing."
