Part of the Goethe University in Frankfurt, the Goethe Business School was first established in 2004. It offers an extensive selection of business programs for young professionals and executives, including some part-time programs which can be studied alongside work.

The school focuses its teaching on six key topics: Finance Management, Bank Management, Risk Management & Regulation, Leadership & Personal Development, Strategic Management and Corporate Social Responsibility. This focus is reflected in the curriculum and course content for the various degrees available to students.

The school is also notable for its China Executive Education Center, which educates executives specifically from Chinese financial institutions in different topic areas, enabling them to connect with business leaders in Europe.
