GISMA Business School

Gisma University of Applied Sciences is a privately owned University in Germany with its main site in Potsdam and a branch in Berlin. It was launched in September 1999 as a joint initiative by the German state of Lower Saxony and several large private-sector companies that were based there. In financial difficulty after its partnership with Krannert School of Management ended, GISMA was rescued from bankruptcy when it was bought by the for-profit education company Global University Systems in September 2013.

As of 2021 it offers a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, including an AMBA Accredited Global MBA, all of which are awarded by Gisma University of Applied Sciences. In 2024, Gisma University of Applied Sciences announced its partnership with Kingston University London, with which it now offers double degrees awarded by both institutions.
