What I really like about Mannheim is not only the Schloss, which convinces with the latest equipment, but also the great flexibility and the constant variety of the program. The Bachelor's program provides an insight into all areas of business administration, with many opportunities for in-depth study in the form of modules and a wide range of workshops, lectures and internship opportunities.

Mannheim is the perfect city in terms of size: small enough to reach the campus quickly and not to have to spend a lot of your free time on the train but at the same time big enough to be able to chose from a large offer of leisure activities. In my case, the university's reputation as well as the recommendations of numerous friends, who study there, have convinced me to come to Mannheim!
