Connection through languages

Learn and improve foreign languages while studying business administration

In addition to business theory, foreign languages are also a central part of our curricula. Languages open the doors to foreign cultures, promote tolerance and looking beyond your own studies. They are the first step of your international career ladder.

For this reason, we already offer a large number of English lectures and courses in our Bachelor and Master degree programs. In the Mannheim Master in Management program you can e.g. apply for the “English Track”. This also makes our degree programs attractive for the high number of international students coming to Mannheim every semester.
