    Graduation ceremonies mark the culmination of your studies.

Despite a general increase in prices, we are pleased to be able to keep the ticket prices for graduates fixed at 25 euros per person like the previous year. Unfortunately, we are forced to adjust the prices for accompanying persons, which will now be 32 euros per person for the 2024 graduation ceremonies.

    The Business School would like to take this opportunity to thank the generous donation from the Partner der Mannheimer Betriebswirtschaftslehre e.V. association, which has made it possible to keep ticket prices for graduates stable.
