Introduction
It has always been characteristic for successful companies to offer better products or services. The most decisive factor for success in business, however, is the available management know-how which enables an enterprise to meet the wide range of market requirements. The aim of this master program is to transfer the varying aspects of management know-how. Today’s managers - no matter whether they are internal or external consultants (in the real sense of business consulting) - are generalists and thus need comprehensive methodical know-how which allows for an aimed and strategic behaviour instead of the often observed crisis oriented radical business changes.

Against this background the manager is expected to fulfill new, cooperative and interdisciplinary tasks - he has to act as an initiator and assistant but also as an accelerator for changes within the company.

The above-mentioned tasks will be fulfilled by managers who are responsible for the strategic and operative task to restructure the company in cross functional and cross organizational teams – (no matter whether as internal or external consultant).

The consulting market has finally started to take off again. Many consultant companies are now looking for qualified young graduates with international exposure. The requirements of a global economy have even filtered down into most organizations in many countries around the world. There is an additional task put upon many contemporary managers: In-house Consultancy.
Modern managers are expected to integrate and utilize the consultants “Tools-of- the- Trade” in their everyday duties.

Responding to this need the University of Applied Sciences offers a full-time MBA program focusing on consulting. The MBA Program International Business Consulting was introduced in 1999. It prepares you in 15 months for a leading position in international management and consulting.

The rule "First come, first served "applies here: In case an excursion is booked out, unfortunately we do not have the possibility to increase the number of participants.

The MBA "International Business Consulting" is a compact, hands-on, international full-time program preparing you in only 15 months for a leading position in in-house Consulting as well as in external Consulting.

It offers you:
Small groups (15-20 students).

FAQ

Does your institution grant scholarships?
The University of Applied Sciences does not grant scholarships.

The language of instruction at my university was English. Do I still need a TOEFL Test?
Yes you do, unless your mother tongue is English. TOEFL or IELTS test score is an obligatory part of the application. The minimum requirement is 550 (PBT), 213 (CBT), 79-80 (IBT) for the TOEFL or 6.0 for IELTS.

Is it possible to get admission for the summer semester?
No. All Graduate School Master Programs start in the winter semester only. Please check individual program web sites for deadlines.

How do I present my admission documents?
Just put all documents as loose sheets in one large envelope. Please, do not send folders or separate envelopes.

Who has to attest my Bachelor's degree certificate, transcript and other important documents?
There are different possibilities:
The registrar at your university.
The German Embassy, German Consulate or German Diplomatic Representation in your country.
A Notary or other public administration offices.

I am graduating in two months and still do not have my Bachelor's Degree Certificate. Can I apply to your Master Programs?
You are welcome to present your application. But you definitely need to present your final degree certificate upon enrolment at the University of Applied Sciences.

I am still waiting for missing documents (recommendation letter, TOEFL score, etc.). Can I send you all my other documents first and hand in the missing ones later?
It is desirable for the selection process that all application documents arrive in ONE PACKAGE. If you are not able to get the recommendation letter before the application deadline you can forward it to the coordinator of the program later. Please note that we cannot confirm the receipt of individual documents.

Where can I take the TOEFL test?
Have a look at the TOEFL site. There you will find listings of test centres available in your country. Please note that our TOEFL institutional code is 7087.

Where can I get information about a visa?
The best way is to contact the German Embassy, German Consulate or German Diplomatic Representation in your country.

Normally, EU Citizens and students coming from Norway, Switzerland, Canada, Japan or USA do not need a visa. Candidates coming from other countries must apply for a student visa (Studienbewerbervisum) at the German diplomatic representation in their home country. You will have to present the admission notification. This procedure might take up to 3 months!

Once you are a holder of a student visa, the Registration Authority will grant the corresponding student residence permission. You will receive further details on this procedure on the Orientation Day after your arrival.

Do I need health insurance?
Yes. In Germany health insurance (Krankenversicherung) is compulsory for ALL students. You will receive more details during the Information Day in the first week of October. Prices and services are very similar among the different insurance companies. You can count about 55 Euros per month for health insurance if you are under 30 years old.

What do I need to do after arriving?
The University of Applied Sciences assigns a tutor for every new student. He or she will help you with the bureaucratic procedures and familiarise you with the city and the University Campus. General information concerning health insurance and registration at the Foreign Office and more will also be available during the Introduction Days and the Orientation Weekend.

How can I check the status of my application?
We confirm the arrival of your application documents. Due to internal procedures, we do not provide any further information until a decision from the admission committee has been made. This takes at least two months after the application deadline. We cannot answer any inquiries on this subject before this date and appreciate your patience and understanding.

Can I work while studying?
For foreign students (citizens coming outside the EU) restricted working conditions apply. However, it is possible to work part time on projects being supervised by professors from the University. You could also take a part time job outside the university (up to 90 days per year). Language skills are mostly required for this. Check also information at the local Employment Office.

Can I receive information on why my application was rejected?
No. Due to administration procedures, we can not communicate the different reasons for rejecting an application. We do not return any documents back either.

Is the University of Applied Sciences offering non academic activities?
The University has a diverse sport program. Movies are shown in the Auditorium during the semester. There are other annual celebrations like the Sport's Day or the Summer Party.

When should I present my medical certificate?
Please check further details on what sort of certificate you exactly need on the German Embassy, German Consulate or German Diplomatic Representation in your country. You might need a specific medical certificate for the visa application.

The University of Applied Sciences needs a statement from your personal doctor, confirming that you are mentally and physically fit. This should be presented upon enrolment.
