Hi Dan85, I am targeting construction or manufacturing companies such as AUDI, BMW Group, ThyssenKrupp ?
until here: TUM for the reasons stated above (make sure, you get enough engeneering classes 'on the side').
or maybe switch into consulting companies such as Mckinsey, Deloitte or a similar one. I have looked for the different business school and their alumni, very interesting lots of engineers seems to work in consulting firms after their MBA or MSc in general management. I was thinking about Alliance Manchester too, but not sure if I want to go back to the UK and then move to Germany, impressive ranking they have though and I have a 20% discount because I graduated from it two years ago.
The thing is that I want to learn about general management, finance, business, economy and operations and I would like to follow a strong program. Not sure if ESMT could give that if it lasts only 12 months. What do you think?
Do you want to do Consulting also in Germany? How is your German? Unless it is really good, Consulting companies will have a hard time to staff you. My experience from 4.5 years at one of the companies you named: 90% of the projects were solely in German. In the industry (BWM, Audi etc.) I'd assume you can make it further without German.
If you want to do Consulting somewhere else (e.g. UK), it basically boils down to: Pick the school that places best in Consulting. I wouldn't be worried too much about the 12 month format. Since consulting is learning by doing anyways, you just need the entry ticket (i.e. the MBA degree from a school with a strong footprint in the sector).
