EXCHANGE & STUDY ABROAD 2014

LET YOUR STUDY ABROAD JOURNEY BEGIN

Prof. Dr. Stefan Baldi Dean of Munich Business School “Our proximity to the business world provides us with intimate knowledge what corporations all over the world expect from their future leaders. This insight is our guideline for developing – and updating – our courses.”

Right now, your semester abroad lies ahead of you and virtually anything is possible. By simply taking an interest in the Munich Business School Exchange and Study Abroad Programs, you’ve already shown a knack for making smart decisions. As the Dean, let me be the first to extend a welcoming hand.

When you’re not attending lectures and hitting the books, you will discover that there is more to life at MBS and in Munich. You can join one of our student associations, access our free computer lab, check out the vast varieties of sports facilities and clubs MBS students profit from or plan some trips with your fellow students to Munich’s beautiful surroundings.

Studying abroad is an experience that will stay with you for the rest of your life. It’s an opportunity to expand your knowlege base and broaden your horizon; so step outside the box and enhance your qualifications with an international perspective.

But what’s most important – you’re in good hands with us: Munich Business School continuously receives top rankings and accreditations from national and international ranking authorities e.g. “#1 in Internationality and Practice Orientation in Germany” or “one of the best business program nationwide”.

As the first state-accredited private university in Bavaria, Munich Business School’s Exchange and Study Abroad Programs give you the opportunity to study for one or two semesters at one of Germany’s leading business schools, directly in the heart of Munich.

Above all, your study abroad experience will connect you to a global network of new friends and future business associates. You will study, play and live with a dynamic, multicultural community of students and academics, who hail from more than 40 different countries.

You can choose between the European Business Semester (taught in English) or the German Business Semester (taught in German). Or you can opt to study as an integrated student together with our local students (taught in German and / or English).

It’s my great pleasure to invite you to Munich Business School. So, come to Munich!

You’ll also find plenty of support (not to mention fun) among your fellow students. Whether tackling a tough project with your study group, checking out Munich’s nightlife with your classmates, or something in between, you’ll enjoy a rich student life and lots of stimulating, teambased coursework.

Warmly,

Prof. Dr. Stefan Baldi Dean of Munich Business School

Surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Alps, full of quirky details, and steeped in tradition, Munich is perfect for anyone who wants to learn in an inspiring setting.

Ksenia Kessler, Russland EBS, Kaliningrad „It’s my second time at MBS and I like it very much! I’m satisfied with the lecturers. They have a personal approach to each student. I like the friendly atmosphere of MBS. The entire staff is very polite and helpful. It was a great idea to open a new student lounge where we can spend time between classes. MBS is the place where I can be all day and feel comfortable.”

MUNICH AND MUCH MORE

MUNICH BUSINESS SCHOOL

Many will agree: Munich is one of Germany’s most beautiful cities. It has the liveliness of a cultural hotspot, the serenity of a classical metropolis, and the energy of an international business hub.

Enroll with confidence – you’ve come to one of the best business schools around. Munich Business School (MBS) was founded in 1991 as the first state-accredited private university in Bavaria.

BUSINESS HUB

An accreditation from FIBAA has confirmed the exceptional quality of all our academic programs. The Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation is among the six most important quality and ranking authorities worldwide.

Strewn with German corporations (e.g. Siemens, Allianz, BMW) and Global Players (e.g. Microsoft, General Electric, Intel, Amazon), Munich is one of Europe’s most vibrant economic centers. The leading industries are new technologies, media, life sciences, and automotive; small and large companies from all industries find Munich’s business environment stimulating.

Moreover, numerous independent rankings place us in top positions. We are especially proud of the high marks we continuously receive for our international study approach, the practical relevance of our programs, and the exceptional quality of our faculty.

In line with our commitment to real world relevance, Munich Business School has been cultivating close relations to the region’s corporations for years. Our students benefit from our robust network when they look for internships, partner companies for their theses, and employment after graduation.

EXTRACURRICULAR GOLDMINE Even when you’re new to Munich, a wealth of extracurricular activities – organized by our student initiative “Students Clubbing” and ranging from “Running Dinners” to attending the many cultural events – will save you from feeling lost or lonely.

Our lecturer/student ratio is outstanding – letting you profit from personalized attention in small classes. In addition, you also have the to option to credit your studies towards your degree program (depending on approval from your home institution).

An annual highlight is the MBS Wintertrophy, a long weekend in the snowy Alps that our students organize every February. Munich also offers countless sights, museums, restaurants, bars ... and let’s not forget “Oktoberfest”, the world’s largest festival. Yes, you will study hard at Munich Business School, but you will also have the time of your life in Munich.

Prof. Dr. Gabriella Maráz Academic Director of the International Programs „I am excited about each new group! It is wonderful to have so many students from different cultural backgrounds here at MBS. As the program director and a lecturer, I enjoy learning from them. I also enjoy working with our students and exploring the German culture in our lectures and excursions.“

Welcome German Language Courses

Each year, Munich Business School (MBS) welcomes over 100 international students on campus hailing from all corners of the world. Countries include France, Spain, Luxemburg, Slovenia, Russia, Bulgaria, Latvia, Ukraine, Hungary, U.K. Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Columbia, Pakistan, China, Thailand, Canada, the USA and many more.

However, this course is only available for the fall semester intake and not for GBS students.

Byunghoon Min Seoul National University, South Korea „I couldn’t have found a better place to study abroad than at MBS in Germany! At first, it felt strange to be so far away from home. However, I quickly met many friendly people and become immersed in the culture. I really like German food – yummy ‘Brezel’ and sausages! Furthermore, I enjoy sightseeing and visited sites such as the Olympiapark or the BMW-Welt. I also went to the ‘Oktoberfest’, the world’s biggest fair, with a bunch of my newfound friends! I feel so lucky to have had such an enriching cultural experience!“

EUROPEAN BUSINESS SEMESTER (EBS) Undergraduate Semester Program in English This advanced business program is offered during fall and spring semesters and intended for students enrolled in a business-related major. Applicants must have completed a minimum of 3 semesters at their home university by the time they begin their studies at Munich Business School. Classes in the EBS Program are especially designed to cover topics which are interesting to foreign students, with a focus on Germany and Europe. While some courses are exclusively taught to EBS students, others are regular bachelor courses Munich Business School students take during their 5th (fall semester) or 6th (spring semester). This provides visiting students the opportunity to meet and study alongside degree-seeking students at MBS.

Louisa Fink Espeme Business School, France „Ich fand es super, dass wir nur 20 Studenten im GBS waren, was uns die Möglichkeit gab, mehr mit den Professoren zu reden und Ideen austauschen. Zudem waren die Kurse sehr interaktiv und interessant. Die MBS kümmert sich sehr gut um die „Visiting Students“. Die ersten Tage hatten wir „Orientation Days“ wo uns alles erklärt wurde. Außerdem organisierten sie mehrere tolle Ausflüge wie z.B. nach Neuschwanstein, Chiemsee, Nürnberg und Augsburg. So hatten wir die Gelegenheit die Umgebung von München kennen zulernen.”

INTEGRATED BUSINESS STUDIES - BACHELOR Undergraduate Business Semester Program in English OR German Visiting business students will have the opportunity to study, fully integrated, in the bachelor of international business program.

Applicants must have completed a minimum of 3 semesters at their home university by the time they begin their studies at Munich Business School.

Bachelor Integrated Business Studies MBS’s bachelor program consists of 6 semesters and does not include a general education year. Thus, basic business courses are offered already during the first semester. Since MBS bachelor students start taking courses in their business concentrations during their 5th and 6th semester, the course selection is much broader during these two semesters and visiting students may find a wider selection of courses to choose from.

Ma Pengfei (Morgan) Fudan University, China „When I used to think of Germany, I thought that Germans have a very good work-ethic and technological understanding. I found this to be true, but have discovered so many new things as well. Munich’s architecture for example is so cute and quaint, like in a children’s book, compared to the skyscrapers in Shanghai. Tasting German food and travelling have been enlightening new experiences. I went to Prague and still plan to see Rome, Paris, Vienna and Barcelona. I am the first one in my family to go abroad. My parents miss me immensely, but are so proud of me. I am very happy to have studied here.“

Since master students take courses in their business concentrations during their 2nd semester at MBS (spring semester), the course selection is broader during spring and visiting students may find a wider selection of courses to choose from. However, some spring courses are only available to visiting students if they have the necessary pre-requisites.

The city is just fascinating, there are so many things to do and enjoy as a student. I’ve become so immersed in the culture that I feel like I am part of it now. “

Generally, everything in Munich is so close. At MBS I like the small classes and having courses with students from many different geographic backgrounds. The size of the school makes contact to students and professors easy and everybody gets to know each other quickly. Also, the students are well taken care of. Every chance I got, I travelled!
