Allensbach Hochschule awarded as „Top Provider for Further Education 2027“
Seventh time recommended: The Allensbach University is once again among the „Top Providers of Further Education“ by FOCUS-Business. The award underscores the positive perception of the university as a provider of professional-oriented academic continuing education.
The Allensbach Hochschule Konstanz will also be among the continuing education providers recommended by FOCUS-Business in Germany in 2027. The university was already included in the recommendation list in 2020 and continuously since 2022. This makes it the seventh time it has received the award.
„We are very pleased to be among the training providers recommended by FOCUS-Business over several years,“ says Timo Keppler, Chancellor of the Allensbach University. „For working professionals, the decision to study or pursue scientific training involves significant time and personal commitment. Therefore, universities must create reliable study conditions and continuously develop their offerings in terms of content.“
How is the recommendation list created?
FOCUS-Business compiles the recommendation list in collaboration with the independent research partner FactField GmbH. The study is based on online reviews and social media data. These include comments, posts, and content from chats and relevant online forums.
The evaluation is intended to show how users perceive the services and reputation of further education providers. The recommendation list thus provides guidance for people who want to improve their professional qualifications.
Academic training that can be linked to the profession
The Allensbach University targets its study model specifically at working professionals. Part-time Bachelor's and Master's degree programs as well as university certificates can be completed entirely through distance learning.
Online lectures are recorded and are also available even when live participation is not possible due to professional commitments. Digital study materials complement the offerings. Faculty members and the study counseling department provide personal support with technical and organizational questions.
„The renewed recommendation strengthens our resolve to organize academic further education in a way that it can be combined with professional activity and at the same time meet the scientific requirements of a university degree,“ emphasizes Timo Keppler.
Guidance for the next professional step
When choosing further education, in addition to the professional content, recognition of the degree, reliable study organization, and compatibility with professional life are also important factors. Re-inclusion in the FOCUS Business Recommendation List is confirmation and encouragement for the Allensbach Hochschule to continuously develop its study and further education offerings.
The complete list of recommendations „Top Providers for Further Education 2027“ was published on October 16, 2026 and is available on the FOCUS-Business website:
