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 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.
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.
The MMM elective gives you the option to attend seminars or lectures of other schools of the University of Mannheim. Electives can be chosen from the School of Humanities, the School of Social Sciences, the School of Business Informatics and Mathematics or the Departments of Economics, Law, or Business Education. With an elective you can either complement your specialization or broaden your perspective and look beyond business studies.
When it comes to higher education, Germany is one of the most important non-English-speaking host countries in Europe. Many master's programs are offered entirely in English and the quality of education is very high, making Germany an attractive study destination for non-native speakers from around the world. This also applies to the MMM: during the application process, you can opt for the “English track” of the program and study entirely in English – no prior knowledge of German needed. More than 30% of students studying the MMM come from abroad.
If you would still like to learn German upon your arrival, the University of Mannheim offers German language courses for incoming students.
The Business School of the University of Mannheim has a large network of corporate partners in a wide range of industries. You can start your career right at the beginning of your studies, as we regularly invite you to workshops, lectures and other campus events. You will be able to get into direct contact with company representatives and find out about career opportunities. Through our job board, you'll find exciting internships and job offers from our partner companies. And surveys among human resources managers confirm time and again: business administration graduates from the University of Mannheim best meet their expectations.
