Hi Beate, I only know that its a very new program and quite expensive. If you can read German there is a recent article at spiegel-online about the European School for Management and Technology with a lot of details: www.spiegel.de/unispiegel/jobundberuf/0,1518,35103…
Hope that helps!

Hi! I saw an ad by ESMT in the Economist, they seem to be offering quite a few scholarships. Is any of you going to apply?

As far as I know the school is directly linked to the following companies: Allianz, Axel Springer, BMW, Bosch, Boston Consulting, Daimler-Chrysler, Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Lufthansa, Deutsche Post World Net, Deutsche Telekom, EADS, Eon, Hypo-Vereinsbank, KPMG, MAN, McKinsey, Münchener Rück, Ruhrgas, RWE, SAP, Schering, Siemens and Thyssen-Krupp. Some pretty big names in there, but I am not sure how close the ties are during and after the program...

I suppose it is taught in english, and what I think is interesting is the business that are behind it. I would really appreciate some more information about it, or even other good center that offer MBA'S!

Thanks.

Yes it is taught in English. I think the tuition is about 50,000 USD, which is quite a lot. But as it is a new program, they seem to be offering quite a lot of funding.

Hi all,
I applied to ESMT and got a place. Got €35K Scholarship, and don't have to pay the rest back between mid2007 and 2012 - €1000 every 6 months. Very happy with my choice. 5 weeks to go :)

ESMT has just launched a new 21 month EMBA with concentrations in "International Management" and "Technology & Innovation". The program will begin in autumn 2007.

The ESMT full-time MBA program is in its second year. The Class of 2007 has 37 participants from 21 different countries (this information is on the homepage, but some people here may not know). From what I have heard, EMST has been pretty generous in granting scholarships for the full-tme MBA in the first year of ts existence, but will not provide any financial support for the EMBA, which will cost ...57.000 Euro.

I got this information from the Financial Times. I could not find the EMBA fees on the ESMT website. If you want to download the EMBA Brochure, you can only do that after entering your full details. Pretty annoying.

Is Berlin really a good place for MBA? i also think it is a great city(visited a few times in the past), and it is considered a cheap place to live in, compared to other citys in Europe, but i keep hearing from people, that the job market there is very difficult, and that if you are looking to do a MBA in Germany, you should probably do it where the money is - in Frankfurt or Munich.

You are right, in Berlin it is not easy to find a job, there are a lot more workless than in other big German cities. Munich and Frankfurt are more centers of business than Berlin.
But the MBA at ESMT sounds promising, and it is not so easy to find programs in Germany with interational appeal and reputation. For instance the MBAs you can do in Frankfurt are not as good as ESMT as far as I know.

Maybe it is possible to expand your networking and business relations during studies Germany-wide? But in case you are looking for a good part time job already during your studies I presume you won't be able to integrate one in Berlin.

12-months MBA at ESMT is such an intensive program that one will not find any spare time for a part time job. I personally visited ESMT and attended a case study master class on Strategy. I must say that I was really impressed with ESMT campus, professors and current students. I have visited IE Business School, Madrid and ESMT campus is simply far better than that of IE Business School.

All-in-all, ESMT seems to be a good bet and I am pretty sure that it will make to the FT rankings soon. Just to add the colors to the ESMT picture, here you can find the promising placement report for MBA' 07 class: MBA' 07 Placement Report

I would like to make a note regarding 39,000 EURO MBA fee. Out of 31 students, 25 students get a scholarship for more than 20,000 EURO each. Few of them even get 100% scholarship. Therefore comparing the costs at ESMT with INSEAD or IE is not a genuine one.

Hi there,

when you know German just have a look at the German press and you will know why they grant the conditions mentioned above. There are much better options, believe me.

Best,
JL

Hi JohnnyL - At this point, you are probably right. But the most recent report I've read earlier this year in FT's German version (I think) wasn't quite so negative. It mentioned that the school was getting on track after a shaky start. It will be interesting to see how it develops over time. Having visited the campus myself a while ago I agree with the other commentators that it leaves a good impression. Evan
