Double Degree Program in Business Administration and Management

„In my opinion, the double degree program with Guanghua School of Management is the perfect complement to studying in Mannheim. Through interactive, practice-oriented courses in small class settings, you learn how to practically apply the theoretical knowledge gained in Mannheim. At the same time, you have the opportunity to study as part of a dynamic and international cohort at one of Asia’s leading business schools—getting to know not only a completely different market, but also a completely different country.”

„The Future Leaders Program offers the opportunity to think beyond familiar boundaries—both culturally and academically—and to embrace new perspectives. It brings together exceptional students from around the world, and this diversity of backgrounds and personalities enriches not only the learning experience but also daily life in Beijing. The two-year program on-site allows students to experience business from a Chinese perspective and gain deeper insights into the development and structure of the world’s second-largest economy. At the same time, living in Beijing offers the chance to immerse oneself in Chinese culture—through language, food, and meaningful interactions with local people. What makes the program truly special is its combination of an authentic cultural experience with a practice-oriented engagement in global economic issues. Living and studying in Beijing means embracing something new every day—and growing personally through it.”

„I applied to the Future Leaders Program for personal, academic, and professional reasons. Alongside the international environment and vibrant campus life, three aspects stood out to me in particular: 1. The many group projects and presentations help build valuable skills in teamwork and confident public speaking—both incredibly useful for the future. 2. You gain first-hand insights and a multifaceted understanding of China in a global context. No matter where you end up working, this perspective is highly relevant. 3. Spending two years in China means fully immersing yourself in the culture, the country, and university life. Of course, it’s challenging—but it’s exactly these challenges that help you grow and develop as a person.”

“The Future Leaders Double Degree offers a unique opportunity to gain in-depth business expertise at one of Asia’s most prestigious universities, while also exploring the language and culture of one of the world’s largest economies. The program’s intensive academic support and personal guidance enables students to grow not only academically and professionally, but also thrive in a diverse and dynamic setting. I’m truly grateful for this experience and can wholeheartedly recommend it!”
