Hi rohit,Thu Feb 28, 2008 04:38 PM The answer to your question depends very much on your background and your aims. Where are you from? How much experience do you have? Which business sector/specialization? What kind of MBA are you planning to do? Where do you want to work afterwards. Generally you can say that In some fields (such as IT and engineering) jobs prospects for foreign educated job applicants in Germany are good even for those who don't speak German. However, for most jobs in management you will need a very good command of German and substantial work experience to be able to compete with German applicants. |

Hi rohit,Thu Feb 28, 2008 08:16 PM I completely agree with the above. The necessity of having extremely good German is also compounded by the fact that a very high proportion of German professionals already have very good English, so even of one is a native English speaker, German companies will have the English language issue covered. You might want to target those companies with an established interest in the part of the world you're from for work experience before/at the same time as you pursue your studies. German is not always an easy language to pick up, though I do know a number of people who have started from scratch and reached a pretty high level within a year. Hopefully an 18 month-long MBA course, language lessons and so on will give you the skills you need. If you're not already in Germany and you're not sure about your language skills, perhaps you'd consider going over and spending a few months living and working there either before you apply or before your course starts. |

Hi Rohit. My name is Paul and I am pursuing MBA from University of Hamburg, Hamburg, IInd Semester. I am an Indian Just like you. The experience here is great especially after coming from a country such as india. As far as your question about job prospects in germany is concerned, I have to agree with Lavoz that getting a job here is tough. You can get a job in Germany only after showing your skills in german language and based on your job experience and since you are an engineer, job prospects for you here are much greater than any other MBA Student that is if you can prove your German language skills. There are numerous courses for MBA in IT and IB which you can find in www.DAAD.de. i hope this answer you concern.Sun Mar 16, 2008 09:48 AM |

Hi Paul, this is Attiya.Sat Apr 19, 2008 06:20 PM I'm curious about your experience in Hamburg. You sound quite happy about it in general. How would you evaluate more precisely the MBA, in terms of quality of the program? A question often asked on this board is to know how German MBAs can compete with the good MBAs internationally and especially on the European level. The reason is that German MBAs are usually accredited by special accr. bodies not so known outside German speaking, and also you won't find many in the international rankings. Hope to hear back from you! |

Hi Rohit,Mon Apr 21, 2008 09:33 AM If you r coming to Germany and doing your MBA here, you will find a Job here. Trust me. Germany needs talented people. But working as a manager will be difficult, maybe u have to choose a trainee-programm and you need to improve your german skills. |

Seconded. But there are lots of reputable German language courses around. In addition to DAAD, you should check out 'did' (www.did.de/), the Goethe Institute (www.goethe.de/ins/de/enindex.htm), and the Humboldt University (www.humboldt-institut.org/). There are of course plenty of others, but to paraphrase Morrisey "Some language courses are bigger (and better) than others."

HiMon Jun 09, 2008 07:36 PM I would take this opportunity to share with you another univeristy - University of St Gallen - in Switzerland, which is regarded as the best business schools in the german-speaking world. I am a graudate from the school and would encourage you to look through some of my experience at thomaswai.blogspot.com to explore how the life it is as an Asian to study in Europe. Kind regards, Thomas |
