Research and practice

Fruitful collaboration at all levels

Companies have very good reasons for connecting with our Business School. On the one hand, we provide professionally excellent management trainees. On the other hand, companies profit from our research findings. Research thrives on collaboration with company representatives, because only research questions relevant to practice deliver results that are useful for the daily business of the corporate world.

Our Business School works with companies at different levels: we collaborate with our business partners on research projects, educational events and career-related opportunities for our students. Our partner companies support us with advice on strategic decisions and are involved in the restructuring and development of academic programs. Thus, we can guarantee content that is relevant to practice and bring our students into contact with companies at an early stage.

What our corporate partners think

We especially appreciate that students from the University of Mannheim bring along the right balance between high commitment and social responsibility. Many graduates of the University of Mannheim Business School are now working for our brands NIVEA, Eucerin or Hansaplast at the Beiersdorf headquarter in Hamburg – via direct employment, a trainee program or internship.

We visit the campus once a year to offer a workshop. Interactive events are a great platform to get in touch with students and participants of the Mannheim Master in Management & MBA program. We already hired several University graduates or MBA alumni after meeting them at one of our events.

We’ve had a lot of success with students from Mannheim. They are educationally absolutely up to the level where we want them to be, well prepared and professional. The people that study here are also down to earth and they are ready for the challenges that we present them. That mix is what convinces us to continue to hire from here.
