Decision to be made during the application process

What our Mannheim Master in Management (MMM) offers you:

The programme offers you preparation for a career in a management position, for example, through flexibility and an international focus.

Consultant, product manager or financial expert – you can tailor your studies according to your professional goals. Choose your courses independently from the following areas:

• Accounting and Taxation
• Finance, Banking and Insurance
• Information Systems
• Management
• Marketing and Sales
• Operations Management

Apart from five core courses (Business Economics I and II, Decision Analysis, Corporate Social Responsibility and Applied Econometrics or Empirical Methods), you will have the flexibility to create your individual schedule. If you want to think out of the “business administration box”, you can reduce the proportion of your business administration courses by taking an elective module.

Most courses are taught in English, and you have the opportunity to complete the programme in both tracks entirely in English. Furthermore, we help you to organise a semester abroad! If you want to gain even more international experience, apply for one of our eight double degree programmes (Bocconi, LUISS, CBS, ESSEC, NCU, NHH, Queen's, USC) and spend half of your studies at one of our partner universities in or outside of Europe.

The lectures start at the beginning of September and end in December. The MMM is a four-semester full-time programme and the courses take place on campus. Not all lectures are streamed or available as recordings, so it is necessary to move to Mannheim.

Usually 1 April - 15 May for the following winter semester. However, we do reserve the right to make changes. Please remember to regularly check the website of the admissions office for any changes.

No tuition fees for students from EU/EEA countries.

International students from non-EU/EEA countries are required to pay a tuition fee of 1,500 EUR per semester.

International students who fulfil certain exceptional criteria are not obliged to pay tuition fees: Tuition Fees for International Students.

We offer a unique programme, which allows you a flexible design of your study plan through numerous specialisations like accounting and taxation, finance, information systems, management, marketing, and operations management.

A student summarised this very well: "For me, the best of the MMM is its freedom of choice. We can design our own study plans with one focus or multiple foci, so that everyone has his or her fully individualised degree programme in the end."

• Double degree programmes 
• Possibility to complete your entire studies in English

You are not required to do an internship as part of the MMM. However, you have the opportunity to conduct voluntary internships during the programme to gain further skills and experience.

The University of Mannheim has one of the most differentiated scholarship systems among public higher education institutions in Germany, and it cooperates with a large network of partners and sponsors.

Various student research assistant positions are available to students at the university.

The International Office offers support in finding dorm rooms and private accommodation.
Student halls of residence are the ideal place to get to know not only German students but also fellow students from all over the world. Depending on the hall, you will live with two to eight fellow students in a shared apartment. Every student has his or her own room, but the kitchen, bathroom, and toilet are communal. Additionally, the International Office offers a very limited number of one-bedroom apartments with a small in-room kitchen and bathroom. The kitchens are fully equipped with cooking facilities and a refrigerator.

The university strives to provide international degree-seeking students with the same opportunities as their fellow German students.

There are a number of institutions within the university which offer support in job and career issues. The Career Network is the central information platform of the University of Mannheim focusing on work and career and accompanies students and graduates on their way to start their career with a diverse range of services.

Furthermore, the project "Step by Step", which is offered by the university’s International Office, aims especially to facilitate the integration of international graduates in the (German) labour market. The project seeks to increase students' career opportunities and strengthen their intention to stay in Germany.

For generations, the University of Mannheim has been preparing students to take on leadership roles in business, academia, and society. One of the university's strengths in this task is its profile, which is characterised by the economic and social sciences. It is in these fields that the University of Mannheim has repeatedly been ranked as one of the top 20 European research institutions.

Staff members at six schools and departments teach and carry out research in business administration, economics, the humanities, social sciences, law, business informatics, and mathematics.

Global Network

Researchers at the university collaborate with numerous national and international partners. The university has a particularly close relationship with the ZEW – Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research, one of the leading economic research institutes in Germany, the GESIS Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, and the Leibniz-Institut für Deutsche Sprache (IDS). The Mannheim Centre for European Social Research (MZES) is the largest research institution for social sciences at a university in Germany, and it is one of the leading institutions of its kind on the international stage.

International Campus

The campus surrounding Mannheim's baroque palace is a place where bright minds from across the globe come together to learn, discuss, research, and prepare to make their mark on the world. Every fifth student at the university comes from abroad to pursue a Bachelor's, Master's, or doctoral degree in Mannheim. Students of the Mannheim Business School also come from overseas to obtain a management qualification at one of the top 25 MBA providers in the world.

Research that Benefits Society

The University of Mannheim is known for its practical orientation and its knowledge transfer with society. Numerous researchers are members of national or international bodies, or they work at institutes or associations that have an advisory role in business, society, and politics. Students are also active in society. The many organisations and associations on campus give them the chance to help make the world a better place.

Mannheim has more than 300,000 residents and is located in Baden-Württemberg at the confluence of the rivers Rhine and Neckar. The city impresses with its diversity: a successful mixture of shopping districts, industrial and service centres, places of cultural interest, art nouveau buildings, the large baroque palace which houses the university, and several extensive recreational areas. The beautiful regions of Odenwald and Palatinate, both of which are very popular for walking and cycling, are close to Mannheim. The symbol of Mannheim is its water tower, a 60-metre-high sandstone colossus next to the city centre, which is characterised by its chessboard-style street grid that is unique in Germany.

Thanks to Mannheim's central location and extensive transport connections, a variety of charming towns are within easy reach, and France and Switzerland are only a relatively short journey away. Frankfurt airport can be reached by train within 30 minutes.
