HHL and WHU
Posted Nov 24, 2015 21:52
I have been reading alot of discussion on
which school is good HHL or WHU
FT put WHU in really high rankings.
etc etc etc.
Very nice discussion and arguments I have seen in some posts.
My questions is both take huge amount for MBA. are they really good school or just making money. I would expect an answers from those who have attended these schools.
Another thing, my friend has recently given interview to one of this, The first prefessor recommendation was my friend is not ready for MBA. Though my friend has some very sound knowledge and experience. Then school said they want to take another interview, so second was taken, feedback received in an email, professor has recommended you for an MBA. But interesting part is at the end of interview professor told that you will get feedback next week and within half an hour email received with positive feedback that you are accepted.
So we are worried are they only making money, we know FT and economist has given them good rankings but such an email has just given a second thought what is really HHL and WHU.
are they making money.
are they really producing leaders for tomorrow
does companies really are after the graduates of this school
or out of 50 (just as an example) 5% of class gets in good companies and rest is on their own.
Sorry my email is not to heard someone. All I just wanted to ask expert advise and what we (me and my friend) are going though for last couple of months, we just shared.
Thank you all and looking some experts feedback.

The career outcomes from the schools can be easily seen from their employment reports and from researching on LinkedIn. MBA graduates from these schools get excellent outcomes and high salaries, as if the case at most other European schools.
If your friend passed the interview, that's a good thing. She or he should be congratulated.

One big point though is whether an MBA is right for your friend and her goals. If she wants to work in the country after graduation and can't speak German, that's going to be a difficult situation.

And these schools, like most German MBAs are under the radar (and relatively new) so still not that hard to get into, but with quality schooling,

My question is, do you think this MBA in HHL would suit me? Do you think based on your experience this MBA could enhance my career to the top level?. Some people have told me that it could be not good idea because I already have a MSc from a really good ranked Uni globally and that this degree could undermine my CV.
On the other hand, after living for 6 months in Berlin after graduation from UoM, I realized I wanted to work in Germany. I am following a german course at goethe institut in Santiago now and hope to get the B1 here. Do you think my CV could be interesting in Germany? I know they prefer natives and that the market is quite competitive.
Thanks in advance for your help in this.
Best regards.

Excellent School with great reputation but considering the low MBA salaries in Germany, I find it costly. HHL, on the other hand, is 29,000. Difficult to choose between them to be really honest. WHU is in good location and places its students in good companies. Duncan you familiar with WHU? How you would compare these two Schools?

I would not call these low salaries. The FT doesn't have salary data for the WHU MBA but, since WHU gets higher salaries for the MSc and EMBA it seems reasonable to assume that it will get higher salaries for the MBA. Other things being equal, the lifetime value of any premium will be bigger than the small difference in fees. WHU will be a good investment.
However, the students will be different. WHU's has a 12-month format so it will attract people who are making less of a change in their careers than the people at HHL, who choose a longer format because they are changing industry, country, role or all three. By definition, those students are worth less because they are riskier and less experienced at the job. Slightly lower salaries are not unreasonable if the only way people could make that transition is with the added time of HHL, and the great opportunities for language training, internships, projects and advanced electives.
So if you are already working in Germany and want to accelerate the pace of your current career then WHU seems like a better investment given the small premium. However, if you will benefit from the longer HHL format then would be worth paying more for HHL. For either school, the fees are great value. For the same price in the UK, the options would be Surrey or Royal Holloway which don't even get in the ranking: http://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolrankings/european-business-school-rankings-2015

You might use the detailed data listing to compare the schools (you can use an online dictionary to translate the column headings from Spanish to English).
How reliable this source is, I cannot say, but for me the figures do not seem to be totally out of scale.

Just wanted to add couple of more information about HHL as i am current student here.
I choose HHL because of following options
a. More time to learn german, which is key to getting access to german market
b.A 6 month consulting project with company
c. Ability to do internship for 3-6 months(excluding consulting project and master thesis)
Because of factors b& c, a candidate will have experience working in "german" market.

My name is Vijay.I have secured admission to HHL for the coming fall.
I would really appreciate if anyone could pitch in with their opinions.
1) I have a experience of 3 years in IT field and I am planning on switching my career to finance.How better can HHL provide me the platform for such a transition?
2) I would like to know from the current student or the previous students about the class diversity.
3) Though I might come across as thinking too ahead,I would like to know the average salary of a full time MBA student with 3 years of experience in IT field.
4) Finally,what is the quality of the faculty?
Thank you!!
