An independent examination office, not bound by instructions, was set up at the university to organise and conduct the career development examination.

The university’s governing bodies comprise the rectorate and the Senate. Further committees include the Council for practical studies and the students’ union.

In addition to the very well-equipped library at the Central Office in Frankfurt am Main and the specialist libraries at the regional offices, the Deutsche Bundesbank has its own university library in Hachenburg.

Rector of the University of Applied Sciences of the Bundesbank

The Bundesbank’s University of Applied Sciences in Hachenburg and the University of Toulon have signed a partnership agreement. To mark the occasion, Hachenburg’s Rector Erich Keller and his deputy Andreas Kremer visited their partner institution in France in mid-March of 2024. 

The Bundesbank has a total of around 11,000 employees, distributed across its branches, regional offices and Central Office. Given the various tasks carried out by the Bundesbank, people’s day-to-day lives at work often differ greatly. On Monday, 19 February 2024, the students and teaching staff of the Bundesbank’s University of Applied Sciences were treated to a glimpse into the President’s schedule – and very much enjoyed the visit from Joachim Nagel.

The universities of the Bundesbank and the Chinese central bank have maintained a partnership for more than two decades. In November, this was extended again until 2025. Rector Erich Keller signed the agreement with the People’s Bank of China School of Finance in Beijing.

In September, a team of professors from the University of Toulon visited the Bundesbank’s University of Applied Sciences in Hachenburg. They discussed future cooperation activities and exchange opportunities for students.

At the end of July, a delegation led by the Governor of the Bank of Namibia visited the Bundesbank’s University of Applied Sciences in Hachenburg. Discussion focused on topics relating to the current interest rate policy of the European Central Bank and European banking supervision.
