Zeppelin University

"Zeppelin University is a state-recognised and privately funded endowment university bridging Business, Culture and Politics. Zeppelin University defines itself as an individualised, international and interdisciplinary educator of well-rounded decision makers and creative innovators in the fields of business, culture and politics, as well as a multi-disciplinary research institution exploring issues relevant to society. 

Zeppelin University is a “Pioneering University” which focuses on the special interests and skills of students and researchers. Our objective: the uncompromising pursuit of academic curiosity and excellence. In 2010 and 2011, ZU was the first German university to successfully conduct a separate accreditation procedure with the German Council of Science and Humanities for the right to award doctorates. 

We define management as the desire “to make the improbable probable” – the maxim of our patron, airship pioneer Graf Ferdinand von Zeppelin, whose innovative ideas changed the shape of business. Applying this axiom, the university addresses the rapidly growing demand for decision-makers and creative personnel, educated in a multi-disciplinary manner, in the fields of business, culture, media, and public policy. Zeppelin University’s research explores scientific Interfaces between scholarly disciplines in order to find solutions to today’s socially relevant questions."
