FOM Hochschule (FOM University of Applied Sciences) is a private institution in Germany, primarily focused on applied sciences and business education. It does not appear in major global university rankings like QS, THE, or ARWU, as these typically emphasize research output and public universities.
However, FOM is well-regarded in Germany for its practical, industry-aligned master’s programs, particularly in business, management, and IT. Its strengths lie in flexibility for working professionals rather than academic research. Prospective students should evaluate it based on accreditation (e.g., FIBAA), employer recognition, and program-specific outcomes rather than international rankings.
