During your Bachelor’s studies, you have laid the foundation with the basics of business administration for a Master's degree. Now, with your individual professional goals in mind, you can put together your own curriculum in the MMM. You have the freedom to choose the main focus of your Master's degree, because apart from the mandatory courses Business Economics I + II and Methods & Key Qualifications, you have absolute freedom in choosing your courses, a possible minor subject and the field of your Master's thesis. You receive 92 ECTS for the elective courses (including the Master’s thesis) and 28 ECTS for the mandatory courses - it could hardly be more flexible.
Take a look at our current course offer (module catalog from Fall Semester 2020)
The following options are only a small range of specializations you can choose from in the MMM. View them as ideas on how to design your tailor-made Master's program. In the end, you decide - at the beginning of every semester - if you want to specialize in one field or follow multiple interests and combine different areas. As an MMM-student you stay flexible throughout your studies.
What most attracted me to the MMM was the amount of flexibility available in the module selection. I really enjoyed the English module offering, which was very diverse. The money value for such high quality and well ranked program made Mannheim my first choice. Overall, I think the MMM is a very well balanced program and I am enjoying my experience thoroughly.

Am MMM gefällt mir, dass ich das Studienprogramm an meine Interessen anpassen kann, weil die Kurswahl so flexibel gestaltet ist. Außerdem empfinde ich die Dozierenden als sehr kompetent und unterstützend. Sie gehen immer ausführlich auf Rückfragen ein und regen uns darüber hinaus zu Diskussionen an. Aufgrund der internationalen Ausrichtung des Masters lernt man zudem Menschen aus der ganzen Welt kennen. Wenn wir in Gruppenprojekten zusammenarbeiten, können wir Themen aus verschiedenen Perspektiven beleuchten, weil wir die unterschiedlichsten Hintergründe und Erfahrungen haben. Generell empfinde ich die Atmosphäre im Studiengang als sehr motivierend und anregend. Sie bringt mich dazu, immer mein Bestes zu geben.
