Participants with a degree in engineering, natural sciences or law benefit most from the program. However, participants with a degree in business administration or economics find the program highly valuable due to a strong emphasis on integrating theory and practice.

Here is what our MBA alumni think of the program:

"In the global business world, having only one perspective of business practice is not sufficient! The WHU-MBA program brings together the American and Asian perspectives in addition to the European perspective through its international modules in the USA, India and China, as well as its renowned global academic and industrial partners network.
I found that this program is well designed to integrate students from diverse backgrounds and cultures, provide them with the necessary environment, knowledge and tools to make them work together on day-to-day management issues, and enable them to learn different approaches to handle the daily challenges in a management career."

“When it comes to MBA, Germany is not usually among the first destinations where people search programs. I did much homework before making the decision and I joined the program with the spirit of exploration. What I have experienced at WHU confirmed my decision and I am totally convinced that the program is a unique and valuable offering. The learning experience is great. It is in the intensive classroom discussions, the inspiring guest lectures, the challenging case studies and the day-to-day communication with the familiar WHU community that I find the true value of the program. I always think that learning does not happen only in lectures. And this is very true for the WHU MBA program. I am benefiting as much from the school’s close interaction with the business community as from its academic excellence.”
