Hochschule Esslingen University of Applied Sciences (Faculty of Management and Technology, Hilltop Campus)
Esslingen am Neckar, GermanyPOTENTIAL – not yet offered / not confirmed
🟢 Official English course list with a solid finance and accounting cluster (bachelor level, small modules)
Students from this partner already study with us. 4 students from Hochschule Esslingen University of Applied Sciences (Faculty of Management and Technology, Hilltop Campus) came to the HMU Department of Accounting & Finance on Erasmus+ (2023/2024 to 2025/2026), so the two programmes already work together in one direction. This page looks at the other direction: what HMU Accounting & Finance students could take there.
English-taught programme: Esslingen publishes an official English-taught course list for exchange students (hs-esslingen.de/etc). The Management and Technology faculty (International Industrial Management B.Sc.) offers about 17 English modules, many of them finance and accounting related, plus Business Information Systems modules from the IT faculty. Many modules are only 2-4 ECTS and bundled modules (Economics 5, 7) mix several subjects, so ECTS will need combining; master's courses are closed to bachelor students; most are offered in both semesters (SS/WS) but availability is confirmed each term.
Potential matches only. No HMU Accounting & Finance student has studied at this partner yet, so there are no recognised courses. The matches below are an indicative assessment by the IRO, based on the partner’s published English programme vs the HMU Accounting & Finance study guide. They must be evaluated and approved by the departmental academic coordinator before any agreement is used.
