The Program

class 2006_2007

MBA (full-time) is a general management MBA. It empowers our students with the knowledge, skills and experience that will prepare them for their careers in the global business world. Various practice-oriented international business courses are designed to offer students a broad and challenging learning experience.

To ensure outstanding study conditions, we limit the number of students in any given year to no more than 15. The size of the group allows optimum support through our highly qualified, internationally experienced and dedicated team of professors. All professors demonstrate long-term and international industry experience. They are recognized as leaders in their fields in Germany and abroad.

Teaching and learning will take place through case studies, discussions and will always focus on practical applicability.

In addition to individuality and innovation another main emphasis is internationality: 80% of our students come from all over the world and therefore the program is entirely taught in English.

The program has been accredited with excellent results by the FIBAA.
The Faculty

"The best managers for international business are educated at Furtwangen!"*

*The journal "Wirtschaftswoche" had ranked the Faculty of International Business fifth out of all German university of applied science's business faculties. These results were based on a survey among more than 1000 HR managers throughout Germany. The faculty's dean, Prof. Dr. Markus Hoch, has been quoted in the regional press: "All considered, this ranking is priceless for us. You have to keep in mind that the universities ranked ahead of us have a much longer history and have many more graduates and therefore are much more present in the market than we are."

The excellent reputation of the Faculty of International Business is the result of its international, future-oriented and practical approach in its programs.

We pay particular attention to nurturing a culture which is friendly and supportive. Teaching and administrative staff will come to know you by name and will do their utmost to help you. This "family" atmosphere combined with a modern and efficient infrastructure make the Schwenningen campus an excellent place to study.

Financial Aid

We encourage companies to support students and to set-up prizes for excellent theses etc., but we ourselves do not hand-out scholarships and we do not waive tuition (except for very grave and unusual hardships that hit a student DURING her/his studies with us - e.g. the loss of the parents supporting her/him financially).

Instead of handing-out money we prefer to offer our excellent education at very reasonable fees.
