  • One of the reasons I chose MBS was that I would improve my English and become acquainted with other cultures. Looking back, I see that this assessment was absolutely right. During my studies at MBS, I have made many new friends from a variety of countries and cultures, and I am still in contact with them today. Thanks to the international orientation of MBS and the associated instruction in English, my command of English has greatly improved so that now I will finish my studies with a semester abroad in London. In addition, the many different cultural backgrounds of the students at MBS frequently gave rise to lively, top quality discussions. MBS has strengthened me enormously in my professional path. The knowledge that was imparted to us students has a lot of practical relevance, and the teaching was closely oriented to practice as well, so that now I really feel ready to take off. During the time of my studies, I developed self-assurance that I was doing „my thing“ and was supported by many professors in starting my own company while still a student. I am very thankful to MBS for this. In five years, I will continue to be in this company and still have many contacts to my professors at MBS. While it may not have been the favorite subject of most students, I can say in retrospect that the module “Business and Society” was the one of greatest benefit to me. The topics we dealt with included history, philosophy and business ethics. I think that in the context of a Master program, it is very valuable to understand the economy as a whole and not just to be an expert in a special area. This is why “Business and Society” was the most important module for me in the Master program, along with “Success Factor Happiness” and “Negotiation Skills”. When I started the Master program, there were many topics of importance for me, such as, for example, digitization and technological progress, forming a company, and leadership. During my studies, it turned out that I would not have to forgo any of these topics. The broad range of options made it possible, for the most part, for me to decide on the contents of my studies myself and to select several “favorite subjects”. Thus I did not have a single favorite subject – my favorite subject was the entire Master program.

  • Why I chose to study at MBS in Munich: I chose MBS because it offered a big variety of subjects and a Dual Degree option. I felt like it was a great opportunity for me to continue with my education there, get international experience and a good network. Also MBS has some “unique” subjects like Success Factor Happiness, which are not difficult, but very useful. MBS has a special community spirit, which you can feel even while going through the application process, as all their staff are very helpful, friendly and engaging; this is especially important if you are a foreigner. Moreover, the interview process at MBS was a lot of fun, which also influenced my ultimate decision. My experience with the intercultural environment at MBS: It was a lot of fun to meet people from all over the globe and study with them. Of course, it was quite challenging sometimes to do the group projects, but I can call it the most interesting part, too. Studying with people from different countries teaches you to be loyal and flexible, and moreover, makes you a great listener (if you are willing to learn, of course), who not only listens to what other people say, but tries to get to the actual point of what they are saying. And, of course, it’s a lot of fun at the end as well, as you make friends and broaden your horizon with learning things about different countries. Advantages of doing a Master’s Degree at MBS: For me personally, the biggest advantages of studying at MBS turned out to be the Dual Degree, all the projects I’ve done during my studies at MBS, and the network I built during career fairs and the MBS International Week. Those helped me a lot with finding a job and experience the working environment in Germany, as I had something unique in my CV (Dual Degree), quite a lot of international experience and team working skills. It has to be mentioned that the knowledge you get at MBS might significantly lighten your path, as MBS offers a variety of practical courses, like negotiation management skills, which help you every day in basically everything you do.

  • Why I chose to study at MBS in Munich: I chose to come to Munich Business School for a number of reasons. Not only did it seem to be critically acclaimed in the academia world, but also I was enticed by the style of learning that MBS advocated. MBS has small class sizes for a more intimate connection with your professors and classmates, as well as a focus on practical application of your learning, not just theoretical. Lastly I would say I was very enticed by the international aspect, having never left the United States before I wanted my learning environment to have a truly international atmosphere and that is exactly what I received at MBS with friends and classmates from all over the world. My experience with the intercultural environment at MBS: The intercultural environment at MBS is something that is truly unlike any other. You have the opportunity to not only meet and network with students and faculty from all over the globe, but also the opportunity to collaborate on projects and create solutions together. I believe in today’s global economy, it is so important to work with and understand other cultures. MBS gives you the opportunity to see and experience how people from different cultures think and allows you to learn tremendously from one another. I would have to guess that MBS is one of, if not the most international top university in Germany right now; I can’t recommend it enough if an intercultural learning environment is something that is important to you. Advantages of doing a Master’s Degree at MBS: There are many advantages of doing your Master’s Degree at MBS. Your professors not only have the pinnacle of academic teaching experience, but also have vast work experience in some of the top firms worldwide. You also have full access to the immense networking capabilities that MBS has to offer, with connections to some of the most sought after companies globally. In addition, you have the opportunity to study abroad at a location of your choosing from just about anywhere in the world. I recently returned from my studies at Tongji University in Shanghai, and it was one of the more valuable experiences I have had in my life so far. Doing your Master Degree with MBS opens a world of possibilities. Advice I would give people interested in the Master’s program at MBS: The advice I would give to people being interested in the Master’s program at MBS is to really take advantage of everything the university has to offer. There are so many extra-curricular activities you can partake in as well as insightful lectures and workshops hosted by top professionals in their field. MBS makes it very easy for you to make friends simply from attending as many of the amazing events they have as you can. I would recommend for students, especially ones coming to Germany for the first time and not know anyone, to absolutely take advantage of all the activities MBS has to offer and you will not regret that you did.

What I would highlight: Why I chose to study at MBS in Munich: When I was deciding where I wanted to do my Master’s degree, I had a few conditions. I wanted to study in an economically strong country such as Germany and in a city that would provide me a great business environment. After I had done my research, MBS was an obvious choice for me. I also had a friend from Croatia studying at MBS and she had an amazing experience. Her recommendations made me even more keen to apply for MBS. My experience with the intercultural environment at MBS: Throughout my Master International Business studies at MBS, I’ve met a lot of friends with whom I am still in contact and hang out. I had the opportunity to meet people from all around the world, and not just to meet them, but be friends with them and visit them in their home countries. I even went to visit my friends from MBS while I was still studying. For me personally, that is one of the most amazing experiences MBS provides you. What I liked about my studies at MBS: I like the practical knowledge I have gained, I have met lot of people and expanded my business network. Furthermore, I improved many of my skills which I will need when searching for a job. I also liked the opportunity of going to UCLA, United States, during my exchange semester. MBS has a great selection of international schools where you can go for your study abroad semester.

What I would highlight: Why I chose to study at MBS in Munich: Germany – with its powerful economy, rich culture, and organized way of life – is the country where my sister studied and successfully realized herself as a professional. Therefore, there was no question for me whether to study in Germany or not. The only thing that I had to find out for myself was a city and university. Since I was raised in a family of businessmen, I was always striving for a business-oriented education with a strong focus on the real business world. What is more, a lot of friends whom I met in Munich have graduated from MBS and were recommending the university due to its multicultural background, strong basis for building a successful career, and interesting student life. That is why for me the question of choosing MBS was obvious, and I did not even hesitate. Advantages of doing a Master's Degree at MBS: A lot of professors and lecturers at MBS work in well-known companies, have their own businesses, or command large professional experience, which they have gathered via actual corporate practice. For sure, this gives the students a lot of opportunities. Firstly, the lecturers can share their knowledge and insights from the business perspective, what provides a much more precise and practical look at the theory. Secondly, MBS has got a big range of company connections that allow the students to get insights into companies where they would potentially like to do their internships or apply for a job. What I also found very attractive is that the career service at MBS is working perfectly. The students have the chance to ask for support any time, and to get professional advice and recommendations in terms of CV, motivation letter, application strategies, and interviews. For sure, such knowledge helps incredibly while searching for a job or internship. What I liked about my studies at MBS: I did really like the practical part of my studies at MBS. We were steadily having classes where we engaged in real business project. As an example, we were developing a strategy for a start-up in Munich. Working in an international student team, we provided research, organized regular meetings with the company representatives, listened for their wishes, and aligned the budget and necessary activities to promote the company on the German as well as the international market. At the end of the day, we were acting as business consultants in a real-life business case. Via such projects, we could feel the responsibility for the ongoing project and keep track of the actual business.
