“Studying MBA in Germany (Pros and Cons)”

Arpit K

Germany, Graduate
Management Science, 2018

Overall

The quality of education is excellent at WHU (because of its excellent professors and pedagogy). The program is very international, takes you to visit three different countries to give exposure to education and business.

The language is the big pain in Germany for MBA graduates as it restricts you to apply for few jobs. It is difficult to change function and industry, and the career center is not very helpful. The companies give more importance to the previous job experience and unwilling to give chances to high-quality MBAs, unlike the USA.

Overall, WHU graduates have found the jobs and internships before or after course completion.

Pros

Excellent education and international exposure. Leadership development and networking.

Cons

Career center not resourceful.

As Exchange students, we have plenty of free time. Use this time to travel and discover Germany and the culture. Going to the Oktober Fest in Munchen is key, as well as going to Berlin.
