Hi all,

I am interested in pursuing my mba in berlin and wanted to know if any of you knows the "IMB Institute of Management" since it appears among those valuable and not so expensive in Berlin. The problem is that I don't see it in any ranking.
Does anyone has something to share that might help ? If so what would be the main difference with ESMT ?

Thanks in advance

I don't get your point about it being valuable, but the IMB is the MBA section of the HWR. Main difference: ESMT is a world class MBA placing into MBA type roles.

Sorry I actually meant that it is suggested by some mba websites.
Do you know whether it is valuable ?
What do you mean that "ESMT is a world class MBA placing into MBA type roles" ? I don't get the difference.

I mean that those things are true about ESMT but not HWR. Most international student in the HWR MBA will not find MBA level roles in Europe.

I am sure it has some value but it may not be the best choice available to most people able to attend better schools.

Hi Thelearner your answer to the question regarding value , depends on several things.

An MBA program from a standard University or Institute provides a sneak peak in to the professional management world and trains you in Basic subjects which a manager can pick and use as a tool as part of professional career. The real application would happen only in some focused discipline. So coming back to you question, if you are looking for value ( knowledge , ) you can learn a decent portion from any of these programs. If you see value of employment , specific programs would provide specific assistance . but , that is just a launch pad, how you develop on that is your own responsibility. I always stress on building personal capabilities. If you have good language skills , a good foundation in the domain of graduate studies and an internship in your kitty with good reference , things are pretty much open for you.

I get your point, but I don't quite agree. One thing that I see, as a business school teacher, is that the best way for students to learn is through application in the course itself, through group work, projects and other methods. Often people don't really grasp something, even if they have encountered it several times, until they witness it.
