Supporting our students in learning the German language is also essential for us at WHU to ensure integration and ideal employability in Germany. That's why we offer free German language classes throughout the program. These are integrated into the curriculum every week: you will have half a day each week to focus on learning German.
Our collaboration with the Goethe Institute allows our students a one-, two, or three-month pre-MBA German language course. WHU covers up to 550 € per course. Usually, these would be taken before you start the MBA journey with us.
Finalize your MBA with a research paper, business plan, or internship project. The duration is 17 weeks, and the project can be completed individually or as a small group.
