Yes, as a rule of thumb you get what you pay for. For 30k you should look at the ranked and internationally-accredited programmes like GISMA, HHL, Mannheim and WHU.

ESMT vs EBS

i need to take a call between these two universities.. please advice

Hello Duncan,
EBS is also internationally accredited by EQUIS.It is quite reputable, dont you think.?

Hi there, I would be very careful about the EBS. It seems that EBS has been in financial troubles in the last years. Just a google news search (German google) leads you to a lot of negative articles about EBS. The latest news is, that they are unable to pay the rent for the building of the law faculty in Wiesbaden.
EBS has still not undisclosed the financial statements for 2011, although they were due on 31 dec 2012.

If you want an MBA degree from a private German business schoool I would reccommend WHU instead.

I think the EBS business school brand is quite independent of whether or not the law school survives, but I agree that WHU, ESMT, HHL etc are better.

The city has agreed to pay the law school's rent: http://www.t-online.de/regionales/id_63548374/wiesbaden-stundet-der-privatuniversitaet-ebs-die-miete.html
