SIMT: the Total Package

When I started my research on MBA programs, I was prompted by my German roots to look for a program in Europe, especially in Germany. I began my search in 2001. After learning more about SIMT, I became very enthusiastic. I was convinced that, although it was a very young institution, several factors made SIMT the right school for me. First of all, it has the support of the best universities in the region. Secondly, its strategic industrial location in the heart of a very dynamic cluster is a huge advantage. Thirdly, successful global companies sponsor it. Fourthly, the content of the International Management program complemented my background perfectly. Finally, the city of Stuttgart offers something for everyone, and is located in the heart of Europe, with almost instant access to France, Italy, and Switzerland, among others. These factors, combined with the prestige that the school had already gained in such a short time, made the decision to come to Stuttgart an easy one.
