HSB justifies the height selection criteria by stating that their university is a place to train future leaders and excellent managers for the public and private sectors.

"Social psychologist Andrea Abele-Brehm from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany doubts the significant relationship between height and self-confidence. "There is a connection, but it is relatively small and ambiguous. This has been proven by various studies in America, Europe, and East Asia," she said in an interview with DW."
