To ensure that you are well prepared for your studies, we would like to invite you to our intro week, which takes place in the week before the start of lectures (26 August to 1 September).

The offers of the student council are not obligatory, but they will help you to make your first contacts and arrive well at the University of Mannheim.
During your studies, you must attend at least one seminar (a module with a course code in the 700s). Each area offers multiple seminars. It is often recommended to attend the seminar of the specific chair at which you would also like to write your master’s thesis. Further information about seminars can be found in the module catalog.
Student services handles the exam scheduling. Exam dates will be coordinated, so that they will not overlap. You can register for exams via Portal2 but if you have any problems with exam registration, please feel free to contact Ms. Schäfer (master-bwl). verwaltung.uni-mannheim.de
To get your Master's degree, you need at least 120 ECTS. If exceed the 120 ECTS with your last exam, this exam will still be completely included in the grade calculation and it may happen that you then graduate for example with 122 ECTS. Once you have reached the required ECTS, it is no longer possible to register for exams.
