The Master's in Management (MIM) program combines internships and a social impact project with applied coursework and research on the latest business and international management theories.
The program is taught in English and is divided into two tracks with a focus on international management. One track (Quantitative Business) is designed for quantitative decision analysts and one track for creative and strategic thinkers (Innovative Management).

Depending on the track, students choose one out of four specializations in the second year:
- Business Analytics
- Finance & Investments
- Entrepreneurship & Innovation
- Global & Digital Strategy
The two-year Master's in Management program begins in September of every year. Students graduate with an M.Sc. in Management, worth 120 ECTS credits.
Currently ranked in the FT Business School ranking as the #1 business school in Germany and #9 in Europe, ESMT is one of only two business schools in Germany to appear in every international ranking among the top business school rankings. Have a look at where our programs rank.

-
When will we receive the scholarship results?
You will receive your scholarship offer at the same moment you are accepted onto the program.
-
Do you see the current pandemic affecting intake of international students by ESMT?
We have not yet seen an impact on the number of international applications we have received. The biggest thing we are wary of is people being unable to get a visa whilst embassies are closed. We do have provision for online teaching for all of our programs in case this is still going on later in the year. Yet, we are very confident it will not come to that.
-
To what extent do the classes consist of group work?
Every course and workshop has a group work component. How much of the class depends on the class itself. It is about 40-60%, depending on the course.
-
Why would you say 88% of the graduates end up working in Germany?
We find that for many people staying in Germany, it is a good way to get access to the European economy, which has lots of opportunities. All graduates are given an 18-month work visa on graduation, which is accepted by all employers regardless of nationality or income. So, for many people this is a unique opportunity to relocate. Students also have access to many more networking opportunities in Germany, and therefore have a better chance of finding their perfect job here. After the 18-month visa has expired, around 1/3 of students will stay in Germany long term, 1/3 will move somewhere else in Europe, and the final 1/3 will move internationally.
-
I am interested in applying for the MIM program but my work experience is about 2 years and 8 months. Can I still apply?
The work experience we take into account for the MIM has to be "post-graduation", however we do understand that many people will work after graduation in order to save for their masters. As such, we look at each person’s profile individually. You can send your CV to degrees@esmt.org for an informal review.
-
What do you look for during the MIM interview?
For the interviews for all questions, the key thing we are looking for is students who are "collaborative rather than competitive". As you can understand, with our small class sizes it only takes a few people with the wrong attitude to spoil the experience for everyone else, so what we always look for is people who will work well as part of the group, and who will work to ensure everyone succeeds. This can be brought across throughout the application but works especially well in the interview.
-
Will the MIM start in September 2020 or will the start date be postponed?
For now, we are planning for an intake in September, but are in constant exchange with the authorities for updates. We will let you know about any changes as soon as there are any, on our website.
