In the words of our alumni

1/5
Vanessa Kraft
Master in International Business 2023
"Interning at Accenture Strategy, I gained valuable insights working on a project for a car manufacturer. My advice is to focus on one industry and gain diverse experience there. This led to my current role at BMW Group, where I apply my knowledge in shaping long-term strategies."
Sabrina Nielson
Part-Time Master in Management 2023
"We feel like a strong community in class as we are near all the same age; it’s always a great exchange of knowledge and experience."
Antonio Panta
Double Degree 2021
"I enjoy the culture and spirit on campus. The school is open almost 24/7, and you can meet other students in Vallendar. It’s a very positive campus environment."
Sina Thenagels
Master in Management 2010
"When I first visited WHU during an open day, it was love at first sight. I immediately felt at home; it was a small community and every person I met was down-to-earth and friendly."
Esha Bhavsar
Master in International Business 2023
"It was vital for me to find a business school with smaller class sizes and a collaborative environment. Since Vallendar is a small town, I knew that there would be a close-knit community and more networking opportunities available."
