The AIHE GmbH is an institute for international higher education<\/strong> and has been offering academic continuing education on behalf of state and international universities since 2006.<\/p>

On March 15, 2026, the founder, Prof. Dr. Andrea Gensel, sold the institute to Constellation Academy. Constellation Academy is an established, growth-oriented education group with a clear commitment to quality, a strong strategic focus, and significant synergies across its institutions.<\/p>

Through its advanced Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes, AIHE professionally combines academic knowledge with practical application, placing particular emphasis on real-world relevance. Students often realise in their day-to-day work which theoretical concepts are already at play\u2014often unconsciously\u2014and learn to act more deliberately, effectively, and with a scientific basis.<\/p>

With an average age of 44, diverse global backgrounds, and around 50% in leadership roles, AIHE students bring valuable practical experience to their studies\u2014enriching not only the learning experience, but also the daily work of the AIHE team.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

AIHE GmbH collaborates with national and international universities and supports them in the development and delivery of advanced online degree and certificate programmes. Students are enrolled at the respective partner university, which also awards the academic degree. Quality assurance is carried out in close coordination with the partner institution.<\/p>

AIHE oversees the programmes conceptually, organisationally, and financially. Student support, teaching, exam administration, as well as the assessment of exams and bachelor’s\/master’s theses are all managed by AIHE GmbH.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Over the past six months, the team has grown significantly, with 23 new full-time and freelance staff members joining. Prof. Dr. Andrea Gensel states: \u201cMy so-called core team \u2014 our permanent staff \u2014 is driving the entire growth process with energy, loyalty, and tremendous dedication. I couldn’t have wished for a better team. I\u2019m truly grateful and deeply value their commitment, as the first two years in a start-up require exceptional flexibility, patience, and a great deal of mutual understanding.\u201d<\/p>

The Institute’s Advisory Board and Contributors include:<\/strong>
Former Minister-President and Federal Minister of Education Bj\u00f6rn Engholm, Dr. Raimund Mildner, and Prof. Dr. Friedemann Schulz von Thun.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It is a great honor that the communication legend, Prof. Dr. Friedemann Schulz von Thun, contributes to the programme designs, with one certificate course even focused specifically on his models. Prof. Schulz von Thun is a true connoisseur of language; he plays with words, remains humble despite his extraordinary success, and is a person with a big heart. Gensel: \u201cHis suggestions and recommendations are invaluable. We are grateful to have him involved in our concept and work and appreciate it every day.\u201d

Our advisory board members, Dr. Raimund Mildner and former Federal Minister of Education and Minister-President Bj\u00f6rn Engholm, have also been part of the Gensel Group for 20 years. They serve as sparring partners, offering outstanding ideas while acting as motivators and critics. Over the years, a close and warm friendship has developed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
