DHBW Heilbronn is the youngest member under the umbrella of DHBW locations. Initially established as a branch in 2010, DHBW Heilbronn has become an important destination for the food industry with its career-integrated bachelor’s degree programmes. The courses offered include the Business Administration study programmes Food Management, Commerce and Service Management with different specialisations such as Media, Sales and Communications, Consulting & Sales, Human Resources and Sports Management.

Actively shaping the City of Heilbronn, a hub of knowledge, DHBW Heilbronn is located at the modern Bildungscampus of the Dieter Schwarz Foundation and has a new laboratory centre, called DHBW Sensoricum.
