Hi Tio,

I posted this "ranking" in another thread. It should be a good guideline:

To give you an orientation for the German speaking market, here is my personal ranking of German fulltime programs:

1. Mannheim
2. St. Gallen (Switzerland)
... (large gap)

3. WHU
4. Goethe Frankfurt
5. HHL
... (large gap)

6. Saarbrücken (Europa Inst.)
7. GISMA
8. good Fachhochschulen (Pforzheim, Berlin, Furtwangen, etc.)
... (large, large gap)

9. ESMT
10. EBS

Hope that helps.

Best,
JL

If you include Switzerland, don't forget Austria either. There are two very strong business schools in Vienna: Universität Wien (ranked 1st by Handelsblatt) and Vienna University of Economics and Business (ranked 5th):

I am quite partial to the Goethe Business School because I am a student there. I've heard good things about the programs at Mannheim and WHU as well. The schools in Austria and Switzerland mentioned in the above posts also have a very good reputation.

I agree with Johnny, Arun and Mesix. Johnny's list is still an excellent guideline for those interested in a German MBA program.

Don't get fooled by many German schools which claim to be at the national top although they do not even have AACSB or EQUIS accreditation or which offer high scholarships because of having too little application numbers!

plz can i find one year full time MBA in germany??????? i wana go for one year????

Goethe Business School in Frankfurt has a one year full time course.

WHU has quite a good reputation as well.

I add Mannheim and then the Top 3 in Germany are complete:

1. Mannheim
2. WHU
3. Goethe

i saw the entry requirements of goethe unversity(germany)...it has a condition of GMAT score then work experience of minimum of 3 or 4 years.......i mean wat is heck is this?????

Those are the normal requirements for getting admitted to a good MBA program.

i DO knw very wel sir!GMAT is ok! but for regular MBA i thnk these requirements r TOO tough, if u wana do MBA after u r freshly graduate THEN??????????????.....that means u wont get a chance in gud MBA program .....

Pretty much. Good business schools in Europe, UK, and US want students with work experience. They're generally not really interested in fresh grads.

Hi, I´m interested to start a full time MBA in Germany. Checking out some pages I found Hochschule Furtwangen, you recommended? thanks for your help!!
