ESMT Berlin

Until 1989 the ESMT Berlin Campus housed the headquarters of the East German government. After reunification, it was used in varying functions and was the temporary office of the German chancellor from 1999 to 2001. It has since been renovated and transformed into one of Germany’s most modern educational centers and consistently ranked by students and alumni as #1 globally for learning environment.

ESMT Berlin, fosters startups through a new 3500-square-meter, co-working office in Berlin-Schöneberg, called Space Shack. Two ESMT MBA alumni, together with a managing director provide an inspiring working environment for entrepreneurial development. ESMT students, who are starting their own businesses or looking to connect with startups, can apply for free co-working space at Space Shack.

Clubs are one of the main ways that students interact with students across all programs and the greater professional community of Berlin. All clubs are initiated and run by students. Current clubs include: Entrepreneurship, Innovation & Technology, Investment, Marketing, Social Impact, Net Impact, Agriculture and more.

There are several sports activities, which take place on campus throughout the year. The most celebrated event is the football tournament where MIM, MBA students compete against EMBAs, faculty and staff members.
