ZU's attitude towards rankings is simple: it's better to come and see for yourself than just to believe the rankings.

However, in spite of the methodological difficulties, we will show you the three current ranking results of our Economics, Communication & Cultural Management, and Politics, Administration & International Relations programs at this time.

On the StudyCHECK study information portal, prospective students can find out about German and Austrian degree programmes and rate them. Zeppelin University's degree programmes are continuously evaluated by students and alumni and the results are impressive. 100% would recommend studying at Zeppelin University to others and award a "very good" for the study situation.

The CHE University Ranking re-evaluates subjects at German Universities and Colleges every year. It is considered the most comprehensive and detailed ranking of its kind in the German-speaking world and is also used in other countries. More than 300 universities and universities of applied sciences were examined and more than 120,000 students were surveyed. In addition to facts about studies, teaching, facilities and research, the ranking includes students' judgements about the study conditions at their University.

"Our political and administrative science degree programmes deal with topics in research and teaching that have lost none of their topicality: whether climate change, migration, international security, social cohesion or the consequences of digitalization. The outstanding performance of our PAIR degree programs in the latest CHE university ranking once again confirms that our students not only feel that they are in good hands with us, but also that they are able to investigate socially relevant problems and work on them using innovative scientific methods."

Professor Dr Klaus Mühlhahn | President of Zeppelin University

Zeppelin University (ZU) has once again achieved a top position in the recently published University Ranking 2024/25 of the Center for Higher Education Development (CHE). In the field of political science, the ZU study program in Politics, Administration and International Relations (PAIR) is one of the best-placed among all German universities and colleges in both the Bachelor's and Master's programs.The CHE attests that the PAIR study programs offer students "excellent study conditions" overall. They also receive numerous very good ratings, including for the introduction to academic work, support from lecturers, support during studies and for stays abroad, the range of courses and digital teaching elements, the organization of studies and examinations, the practical orientation of teaching, the career guidance on offer and various equipment features. This is now the fifth time that the CHE University Ranking has examined ZU's Political and Administrative Sciences. In 2011/12 and 2015 as well as in 2018/19 and 2021/22, the study programs also achieved top rankings among all German universities and colleges.

"We are very pleased that the excellent quality in teaching and research is reflected in the ranking results now published. At the same time, the excellent results strengthen us in our claim and in our motivation to continue to focus on the satisfaction of our students in particular in the future."
