Information about MBA programmes at these Germany b-schools
Wed Aug 13, 2008 11:51 AM
Hi. I am new to this forum and wanted to know if anyone can give me an idea about the following German business schools - for MBA programmes. I would like to know whether they are good schools, accredited - and not bogus i.e. they are actual schools from which students DO graduate with MBA's.

I'd be grateful for any information you could give me. Thanks.

Hi,

Germany isn't renowned for the quality of its MBA programmes. Of all the institutions that you have listed, only two come up on the find-mba-database:

www.find-mba.com/germany
www.find-mba.com/university/713/fachhochschule-str…

If you look at the top ranking European schools (Financial Times Ranking 2007), then the top German schools are:
-ESCP-EAP European School of Management, which comes 4th.
-Mannheim Business School, which ranks 15th.
-University of Cologne, Faculty of Management, which ranks 33rd.

These schools actually all in the database, check again!

I agree with lukeh that Germany is not as renowned for its MBA programs as for example the UK, the Netherlands or Spain, but they have plenty of solid MBA programs. From your list I would take a closer look at the programs offered at Berlin, Bremen, Mannheim and Cologne, the other schools are not as interesting location wise (quality of life, business environment etc.).

Hi there,

I have to say that the institutions you mentioned ar not first choice in Germany. They are Fachhochschulen which will never have a chance to compete in the international MBA market. When you look for a top program in Germany, Mannheim or WHU are the best choices.

Best,
JL
