Study abroad during your Master’s degree in Economic and Business Education

Broaden your academic and cultural horizon!

A semester abroad in one of our exchange programs gives you the unique opportunity to study at a renowned business school in another country. You will not only expand your academic knowledge but also improve your intercultural skills and experience unforgettable moments!

Alternatively, you can organize your semester abroad independently as a „freemover“.

Partner universities

As of August 2018, there will first be a preliminary, and then a final list of exchange universities for the upcoming application period on the websites of the International Office. You can apply until October 31st 2018. Until August, feel free to look at the list from the previous year to get an idea of the available programs. Please note that there may be some changes.

Credit Transfer

To receive credit for courses you will be taking abroad, you will need to discuss „Learning Agreements“ beforehand. After returning to Mannheim, you will hand them in at the examination committee. You can find information about this process on ILIAS. Furthermore, you can take a look at the database of previously recognized courses.
