Take the Next Step!

You are not only curious but convinced that the Mannheim MBA is the right choice to take your career to the next level? You do not only want to prepare yourself professionally for future management challenges but also develop on a personal level in an international and demanding environment? If this is the case we look forward to receiving your application! The program starts every September, but since there are only limited places available, we strongly recommend getting in contact with us as early as possible.

There are two selection interviews to make sure that not only the brightest minds join the class but they are also the right fit for the program and our Mannheim Network in general: one with the admissions manager and one with a group of fellow applicants and members of our Alumni Board. GMAT/GRE is no prerequisite for admission to the program but it is necessary for applying for one of our scholarships. 

Admission Criteria

Learning with and from each other is a central component of the Mannheim MBA. Thus, we constantly seek personalities who enjoy enriching the group with their competences, experiences, and commitment.
The formal criteria at a glance:

  • an internationally recognized academic degree in any discipline (at least a Bachelor’s) – successful candidates will typically possess a min. B+ average in their undergraduate degree, then
  • at least 3 years of postgraduate working experience (in the case of cooperative degree programs, work experience is also counted after the first academic degree)
  • leadership potential
  • international experience
  • fluency in English (proof is provided if an at least two-year undergraduate degree has been successfully completed, at least half of which was based on English as the language of instruction and examination, or if a higher education entrance qualification has been acquired in an English-speaking school system. If neither such a degree nor such a higher education entrance qualification has been obtained, the following test results can serve as a proof of English proficiency: a valid formal test such as TOEFL 95+ or IELTS 7.0+ or TOEIC, TELC, BEC, FCE, CAE, CPE on C1 level)
  • GMAT/GRE necessary only if you apply for a scholarship (a minimum GMAT score of 600 or equivalent GRE score is recommended).

Admissions Process

  • Step 1: Infosession or personal consultation (recommended)

    We strongly encourage you to visit one of our information sessions or make an appointment with our admissions manager for a personal consultation before applying to the program.

    Fill out the Mannheim MBA Application Form and the Reference Form and send it together with the required documents to Mannheim Business School via info.ptmba@mannheim-business-school.com and cc to siebler@mannheim-business-school.com.

    Three days before your selection interview, we will send you three questions that we ask you to answer filming yourself in a short video (60 seconds per answer). The video has to be handed in by 4 PM CET one day before the interview will take place.

  • Step 3: Selection Interviews

    The Admissions Manager and a member of our admissions committee will take a holistic view at your application and conduct a personal or web-based interview with you (45-60 minutes).

    At a second date, you will join a group of fellow applicants and two members of our Part-Time MBA Alumni Board for an online group interview.

  • Step 4: Final Decision/Admission

    An admissions decision will be made based on the evaluation of your application package, the selection and group interviews within two weeks. You will then receive the admission notification and contract. Sign and return the admission contract to Mannheim Business School.

    With this rigorous selection process, we make sure that the right personalities are found for the new class as well as for our Mannheim Network, since an essential part of the program is based on team work. The additional group interview is your opportunity to network with potential classmates and your chance to show your commitment to learning and working with and from your peers.
