The Baltic College was founded in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania as a private, state-approved University of Applied Sciences in 2001. Campuses in Schwerin (2005) and Potsdam (2008) followed the first campus in Güstrow.

The University of Applied Sciences specializes in Management in the fields of Tourism, Health and Education. The high quality of the study programmes is ensured by an individual mentoring of every student, professors and teachers with academic and professional background as well as by a well-structured administration over all campuses. Every student is welcome anytime and challenges are taken care of fast and in an unbureaucratic way.

The Baltic College stands for small study groups (max. 60 students per semester), good co-operations with partners in the tourism industry and USPs in all our study programmes. These factors guarantee a high quality standard which is acknowledged by the FIBAA accreditation agency and the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
