I will grateful if you can post your suggesstion.
You can also mail me at [email protected]

Beware of rotten apples on the market like ESMT and EBS! Their acadmic quality is considered to be poor.

Hi LaVoz,

I know that these are harsh words. But when you take a look at the German press, I do not exaggerate.

The image of ESMT is very poor in Germany and in my opinion this will not be changed by the AMBA accreditation. If you speak German, take a look at the accreditation report of the German Council of Science and Humanities (Wissenschaftsrat) and you know what I am talking about... This accreditation is not an international one, but it focuses on academic quality and what they wrote about ESMT was far away from being positive.

Best, JL

Hi,

Can you help me with some information about Hochschule Offenburg - Offenburg University of Applied Sciences mba program,about it ranking or how good is the program.Jobs after MBA

Also which mba is better Hochschule Offenburg or FHW Berlin.

Hi Paul, this is Attiya.
I'm curious about your experience in Hamburg.
You sound quite happy about it in general. How would you evaluate more precisely the MBA, in terms of quality of the program?
A question often asked on this board is to know how German MBAs can compete with the good MBAs internationally and especially on the European level. The reason is that German MBAs are usually accredited by special accr. bodies not so known outside German speaking, and also you won't find many in the international rankings.
Hope to hear back from you!

Hi rohit,
The answer to your question depends very much on your background and your aims. Where are you from? How much experience do you have? Which business sector/specialization? What kind of MBA are you planning to do? Where do you want to work afterwards.

Generally you can say that In some fields (such as IT and engineering) jobs prospects for foreign educated job applicants in Germany are good even for those who don't speak German. However, for most jobs in management you will need a very good command of German and substantial work experience to be able to compete with German applicants.

Hi there,

Both Offenburg and FHW Berlin are Universities of Applied Sciences in Germany. That means that they are not real universities, but a bit more like commercial colleges. They do not have to do research and therefore they will never manage to enter the international rankings and, of course, they are not internationally accredited. They may offer a solid education, but not more. And career services are normally poor at those institutions.

JL

hi to all of you,
i am a Ghanaian from Ghana with a 4year degree in Bachelor of Fine Art with a Second (2nd) class Upper Honors. I have been working for the past 5 years in the advertising industry but i realized i need to do something more challenging. i have therefore decided to pursue a MBA in Project Management in Holland or any recognized European country.

1. Is it possible and Do i stand a chance, though i didn't
study business in school?
2. Are MBA degrees from Holland and Norway recognized
worldwide?

I need an answer as soon as possible.
Thank you.

Yes, there are some business schools such as Rotterdam School of Management, wich is the most international recognized in both countries mentioned.

Check their programs!

Hi, My name is Sreeja and am an Indian. I am a Bachelor in Engineering and have 7.6 years of industrial experience including functioning in managerial capacity. I would like to know which schools are better in terms of quality education and job market (after MBA). I am aiming to apply for the September session. I am writing IELTS and GMAT in April this year. I also wish to know how a German MBA grad can compete in the international/ European market in comparison with Grads from UK/ France/ USA, is it at par?. I plan to learn German before I come to Germany. Are there enough jobs available for potential MBA Grads? I intend to work in Germany after Graduation. Is it possible to work part-time while doing MBA. I intend to do MBA in International Business or some other stream that suits me. What do you think about a General MBA? Job prospects? Should I steer clear with any schools?

Hi,

I am planning to join GISMA this year(2009-2010). I am particularly interested in the Purdue degree awarded by GISMA. Can anybody suggest on the quality of GISMA education and job prospects after graduation. I am a software consultant (Engineering background) with 6 years experience in Invest Banking.

Well, GISMA is a highly ranked school - see here for a complete list:

http://www.gisma.com/fileadmin/Downloads/gisma_rankings-overview.pdf

though i can't seem to find them in any current rankings....

Hi there,

As far as I can oversee it, GISMA is only ranked with its EMBA in the FT ranking (together with TiasNimbas, Purdue, and CEU). The fulltime program is not listed.

Last year some media in the Hanover area reported that they have to struggle with financial problems. In fact, they are not first choice in Germany.

Hi LaVoz, or someone else that could help me.I would like to ask You for some advice, when it's possible. I'm from Macedonia and at the moment staying in Germany-Mannheim. I would like to do MBA here in Germany, but I don't know what kind of MBA to choose.I speak german language also. I have Bachelor(or graduate in Metall engineering) in Macedonia. I hope that after MBA I'll stay in Germany or maybe back in Macedonia, but anyway It have to be on international. Here in Mannheim is a Business School but it is too exepensive for MBA 29.000 euro. I don't know what to do and where should I go. I haven't done GMAT and TOEFL yet and also I'm scared that I ain't gonna make for the date line for the next semestar. I would be gratefull if You'll give me some usefull advices. BEst regards, Maja

I saw the below info in GSO-MI website.
Is it a good univ?
"GSO-MI is offering further education programs on a academic base.
The Georg Simon Ohm Management Institute is one of the top 3 business schools in Germany."

Could some one please give me a list of few good/ top univs for MBA?

it seems it is only accredited by Acquin(Akkreditierungs-, Certifizierungs- und Qualitätssicherungs-Instituts), a German accreditation institute, and doesn't have any of the important accreditation. it is usually not recommended to study in a B school which doesn't hold at least one of the important ones(AACSB, AMBA or EQUIS).

they have 2 programs, one for people with, and one for people without any business education.

as for the other good schools in Germany, just search the board, and you will quickly find the answer yourself!

thanks for the reply Andy.

Could you please tell me when are the university intakes. I heard there are 2. One in Sept and other in March. Is it true?

How about Technical University of Munich
and there innovation program
www.innovationprogram.de it costs around 28K Euros
