About FOM University of Applied Sciences Essen

FOM University of Applied Sciences Essen is a legally independent non-profit organization belonging to the non-profit BCW foundation group. The foundation’s purpose is to promote user-oriented research and scientific qualification, which is particularly aimed at helping people in employment or training to obtain state-approved degrees. With about 50.000 students, the FOM University of Applied Sciences for economy & management is one of Europe’s largest universities. It allows employees, trainees, high school graduates, and international students to conduct a part-time university degree course. The FOM is state-approved and offers more than 50 Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs, both as campus studies at 34 university centers and as location-independent digital live studies. 

Objectives of This Partnership

The common goal of this partnership is to allow FOM students to make practical use of project management software in the course of their studies. Since the subject of “project management” is a compulsory module in almost all degree programs, PLANTA will be made available to students as a „prototype tool“ for traditional, agile, and hybrid portfolio, project, and resource planning. 

We are looking forward to this partnership and hope that all three parties – the university, the students, and PLANTA – benefit from this program and gain valuable insights. We’d like to wish all students lots of fun with the software and success in their studies. 

Support for the Next Generation

The goal of this partnership is to support the next generation of project managers in learning the tools and techniques they require to be successful in the modern business world.
