Playing to Each Partner’s Strengths

Economic relations between Germany and Israel are close and becoming increasingly important, especially in light of the challenges of digitization. With Mannheim Business School and the Arison School of Business at Reichman University, two leading institutions have joined forces to design a unique, one-year, full-time master’s program. Both partners enjoy a good reputation worldwide. Reichman University is considered one of the top universities in Israel, bringing together leading experts in artificial intelligence, big data, innovation and entrepreneurship. The University of Mannheim is one of the leading European universities in business, economics and social sciences.

A German–Israeli showcase project for the training of professionals and executives

Your Master in Management Analytics journey will start at the Arison School of Business at Reichman University in Herzliya. In the first part of the program, you will learn the fundamentals of analytics and experience the entrepreneurial spirit of local startups. The startup nation Israel is internationally renowned for its entrepreneurship, innovation, and data-driven startup culture. With nine million inhabitants and 6,000 startups, it has the highest number of startups per capita worldwide.

The second part of the master’s program will take you to Mannheim. The “grid city” in the heart of the German and European economy is regarded as the birthplace of many game-changing ideas. For example, the car and the bike were invented here. Global leaders such as BASF, SAP, HeidelbergCement or Roche Diagnostics are headquartered in the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region, whose center is Mannheim. Here, you will gain a sound understanding of general management and the latest management tools and concepts. Find out more about the Mannheim region and campus here.

The new degree program is intended to further intensify academic and social relations between the two countries and simultaneously serve as a clear signal of German-Israeli friendship. Graduates will not only be internationally versed young executives and data analysis experts, but also key ambassadors of German-Israeli relations around the world.
