I have few queries related to MBA from Germany.
Here is my Profile:
Age: 28.3
Nationality: India
Experience: 6.5 Years
Industry : IT
GMAT : 660
Lang: A2. Planning to complete B1 before I reach Germany.
I have got an admission from Pforzheim University for MBA in International management. It is a two year course.
Query#1:
This course has internship during last semester. I will turn 30 during or before last semester starts. I read somewhere that "30" is no more young in Germany and one might face difficulty in getting internship post 30. Can someone please provide more information about it?
I understand internship helps student getting jobs and above issue has really made me worried. Kindly advice.
Query#2
Also does one face difficulty in gaining job post 30 in Germany (because of higher insurance or some other reasons) (assuming B2/C1 level German Lang proficiency)?
Query#3
If you are familiar with MBA's in Germany, How do you rate Pforzhiem MBA program. I did my research and found that this is the best MBA considering cost and accreditation (its one of the only few business schools in Germany to get AACSB accreditation). (I could be missing some factors, kindly point it out ).
Query#4
Any idea what are the post MBA Salary (I know this is a dumb question to ask but I am trying to work on financial viability so approximate or average salary figures will do).
Thanks

Search the discussion board for the last two questions. The first two are rather existential: the MBA is not well understood outside large firms, but students find opportunities fairly straightforwardly if they have good German.

Thank you very much for your reply. I searched this forum for 3rd and 4th question and I found very useful posts from you.
Thanks again.
But I am still not clear on my 1st and 2nd question, Do you think age 30 causes any negative impact on internship and job prospects (because of higher insurance or any other reason...)

Of course the further you are from the median age the harder it is but, in fact, German students have often taken several years to graduate and I don't think it's a major issue. Ask the school for specifics.
