Mannheim Master in Management Double Degree Program

Two international degrees in one program

Our eight international Mannheim Master in Management (MMM) double degree programs involve spending half of your time studying at the University of Mannheim, and the other half at one of our renowned partner schools abroad. You will obtain two degrees: the Master in Management, M.Sc., awarded by the University of Mannheim and a second internationally recognized degree awarded by the respective partner school.

The academic Mannheim Master in Management and the practice-oriented Master of International Business at the Darla Moore School of Business are perfect complements. My studies were enhanced by my fellow students at both universities. These two degrees prepare uniquely for my job market entry. The program is recommendable to anyone who wants to gain study experience in the South of the US and is interested in International Business.

The Double Degree with the University of South Carolina is a great experience that paves the way for a successful international career. Not only did the program offer me the chance to combine two different – however complementary – study plans, but also to build a meaningful network with students and professionals from all around the world. In addition, the year spent abroad allowed me to appreciate the unique traits of a different culture and to develop as a person. I would definitely suggest each student to apply: you won’t regret it!

In addition to the obvious advantages of spending a full academic year abroad and acquiring two degrees from renowned universities in just four semesters, the Double Degree Mannheim – National Chengchi University, Taiwan goes hand in hand with rapid personal and professional development. The diverse and challenging environment in a foreign culture combined with a unique team spirit, shaped by international and local students from various professional backgrounds, make these valuable experiences unforgettable.

The Double Degree program between the University of Mannheim and ESSEC Business School is an incredible enrichment, both professionally and personally. The academic and theoretical foundation is laid in Mannheim and optimally complemented by the very practical learning at ESSEC. In addition, ESSEC offers a large selection of chairs and tracks, so that despite the numerous core courses, specialization is possible, some of them even on the ESSEC campus in Rabat or Singapore. Personally, I particularly benefit from the close cooperation with different nationalities and academic backgrounds and can therefore expand my cultural horizon enormously.

I gained a lot of valuable experience through the Double Degree program, and I can highly recommend it! The course at Bocconi is very international and practice-oriented, and offers numerous opportunities for extra-curricular activities and individual design options, despite the technical specialization. Above all, however, during my year in Milan I learned to appreciate Italian culture and made many close friends.

For me, the Double Degree program at the University of Mannheim with Queen’s University was the ideal combination of theoretical and practical teaching. The intensive exchange as well as the cooperation with students and lecturers from different cultural backgrounds allowed me to broaden my horizon and develop myself personally and professionally. To learn and live in this global setting and to be able to make new friends with exciting personalities from all over the world at the same time was an incredibly diverse and enriching experience for which I am very grateful.

Thanks to the Double Degree program, I can optimally complement my scientifically sound management training at the University of Mannheim with the more practice-oriented teaching and extracurricular activities of Copenhagen Business School. Not only the focus on IT and information system management, but also the international network and the many new contacts, open up countless exciting opportunities for my professional future. On top of that, I have an incredibly inspiring time and I really enjoy my master’s in Mannheim and Copenhagen!

The double degree from Mannheim University and Queen’s University is the perfect combination to prepare me for a career in the finance industry. With theoretical focus, studying in Mannheim gave me a very solid knowledge on accounting and finance. While the teamwork approach at Queen’s gave me experience in working and coordinating in an international team. The flexibility of the double degree program also gave me the opportunities to take many internships to gain experience in Germany, which led to my full time job after graduation. I highly recommend this lifetime experience for future students.
