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 MBAs, all of which are awarded by Gisma University of Applied Sciences.
