Hi Farooq,Mon Feb 01, 2010 02:14 PM Hochschule Furtwangen is a University of Applied Science (Fachhochschule), i.e. is more a commercial college than a real university. Their program may not be bad, but the school will never have the chance to get internationally accredited or ranked. Those school's career offices often focus on regional markets and the schools are often even unknown on a national level. Best, JL |

Hi John,Mon Feb 01, 2010 02:22 PM Immense thanks for your reply. Are you from Germany I agree this school is not internationally recognized. Moreover it doesn't have any national reputation. I think I should drop this university. Regards, Farooq |

You are welcome! Many schools featured here (e.g. Furtwangen, Bremen, Berlin, ESMT) are only tier 2 or 3 schools in Germany. Mon Feb 01, 2010 02:26 PM By the way, I am not German (but Scandinavian), but I live in Germany. Best, JL |

Hi there,Fri Feb 05, 2010 12:10 PM Magdeburg is a normal German university (in former East Germany) and an MS is not an MBA. Best, JL |

Yeah, I agree with the other posters - the schools you've mentioned are ok schools...Tue Feb 16, 2010 08:24 PM However, there are a handful of decent up and coming programs in Germany, you may want to look into if Germany is your thing. Off the top of my head: Manheim University - triple accreditation! Probably the best MBA program in Germany, but tough to get in to. HHL Leipzig GSM - I've heard Leipzig is a cool place, and this school's been showing up on the FT European list the last couple of years Hochschule Bremen - has a couple interesting niche programs, like one in tourism management. Geothe in Frankfurt - AACSB accredited. |

I agree with you concerning Mannheim and Frankfurt. You could add St. Gallen (German speaking Switzerland) and WHU.Tue Feb 16, 2010 09:07 PM Bremen should not be an option if you are looking for a program with international reputation. And in the case of Leipzig, I read some delicate articles about their appearance in the FT ranking on Handelsblatt and MBA-Channel. After all, I would not rate them as a top German school. Best, JL |
