History
Our name giver
The university was named after the physicist Georg Simon Ohm, who was
one of the leading scientists of the 19th century. He studied the phenomenon
of electric current with a passion. In 1826 he formulated Ohm’s Law, which
laid the foundation for his continued success.
From 1839 to 1849 he led Nuremberg University as its president. Nearly 40
years after his death, the International Electrical Congress of 1893 adopted
the “ohm” as the unit of electrical resistance.
By the formal presentation of the certificate of appointment on 22 March 2013, the university
was upgraded into the "Nuremberg Institute of Technology" (NIT).
The Management Institute of the Nuremberg Insitute of Technology (GSO-MI) was
founded in November 2002 with the support of the Bavarian State government. The institute
is an organizationally independent institute of further education within the Nuremberg
Institute of Technology.
The goal is to satisfy the constantly growing demand for qualified further education offers
geared towards international business and the increasing service orientation in this field.
The emphasis lies on training and further education in business administration and the
associated specialist fields for professionals.
The GSO-MI started with an international, English-speaking MBA program. Over the
years, the spectrum was enhanced to include certified management training, seminars
and postgraduate courses of study.
Roots
As the second-largest university of applied sciences in Bavaria with over 11.000
students and more than 290 professors, it has at its disposal a large potential of corporate
contacts, partnerships with other universities (approx. 110 worldwide) and research
projects.
Twelve departments in four directions of study, namely technology, economics, social
sciences and design, offer undergraduate and advanced courses in addition to further
education opportunities or dual-study variants.
The international nature of the is confirmed by the large number of foreign students.
Currently, approximately 1100 foreign students from about 90 nations are enrolled.
