AKAD-Bildungsgesellschaft is the sponsoring company of AKAD University , which as a private university awards state-recognized degrees. In addition to the headquarters of the University of Applied Sciences in Stuttgart, the locations include examination centers in 33 German cities. The Science Council institutionally accredited the three universities of applied sciences Stuttgart, Leipzig and Pinneberg in July 2006 in a joint procedure and reaccredited them in November 2009. The education company, which sponsors AKAD University and the AKAD Institute for Further Education , which offers non-academic further education, belonged to the Franz Cornelsen Education Group and emerged from the Swiss AKAD . In spring 2014, AKAD Bildungsgesellschaft mbH and the then AKAD College for Adult Education GmbH (today: AKAD Institute for Continuing Education ) were taken over by Aurelius .
history
In 1959, the “Akademikergesellschaft für Adultbildung mbH” was founded in Stuttgart to prepare working people for the Abitur for the first time with a combination of distance and face-to-face teaching. From 1960, further schools were established in Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Frankfurt am Main and Munich. In addition to the Abitur preparations, a preparatory course in business administration was offered in 1968 , the forerunner of the later technical college degree; further distance learning courses were created in the following years. In 1974 the Institute for Language Diplomas was opened; The economic institute followed a year later with a program for training and further education in the commercial sector. In 1980 the university was founded in Rendsburg (later Pinneberg) and was the first German distance learning university to receive state recognition. In the following year, the study began with the first courses for business administration and industrial engineering . From this point in time, the range of study and further training opportunities was expanded. In 2009 AKAD celebrated its 50th anniversary as the oldest private university association in Germany. Since the end of January 2014, AKAD has been bundling the activities of its previous three universities in Pinneberg, Leipzig and Stuttgart in one university, AKAD University.
In April 2014, the Franz Cornelsen Education Group sold the company to Aurelius AG .
In August 2014, AKAD announced that the locations would be realigned as part of a new study model. The previously seven branch offices and seminar locations were closed at the end of 2014. Instead, exams can be taken at 33 examination centers across Germany since January 2015. Since then, the course has been largely online, face-to-face seminars are voluntary and take place in Stuttgart.
