Practical Relevance as a Basic Principle

Practical Relevance

The innovative program concept of Munich Business School aims at the high demands internationally operating businesses place on their junior staff members. The basic principle of the study program is the deliberate orientation in international operations and work content within companies, which is created through the tight integration of practical studies and domestic and international practical involvement phases. This allows students to actually implement the skills in practice, therefore achieving additional learning success. The location in Munich and the university's close ties to the industry provide the ideal conditions.

Lecturers from the Industry

A large part of the lecturers teaching at the Munich Business School are managers or entrepreneurs in the industry themselves. This allows them to vividly illustrate the course material using current examples. They communicate the modern management theories and current business science debates from the viewpoint of business practice.

Integrated Internships

Several internships in companies are mandatory components of every Bachelor student's education at Munich Business School. The total time spend doing practical work in one or various companies adds up to 30 to 70 weeks throughout the entire program. This includes a minimimum of one internship in Germany and one in another country of the student's choice.

Career Service - A Service for Students and Companies

When seeking the suitable traineeship students of Munich Business School may utilise the support of MBS's Career Services. Career service keeps in constant contact with companies and based on its partly longstanding cooperation with many companies can provide students with valuable advice. At the same time it offers companies support in their search for new employees. Students will find an internship exchange with current openings of numerous companies on the MBS intranet.

Topics from the "Real Business World"

The good contacts to the industry allow Munich Business School to implement a basic principle essential to the practical relevance of studies: theses are typically actual tasks from companies most often also dealt with during an internship at the respective company. The companies, whose representatives are involved in supporting and evaluating the theses, as well as the MBS students, benefit from this tie.

Projects from Business Practice

Actual tasks from businesses impact everyday studies at MBS even beyond theses. Developing business plans, management games, as well as tangible projects are among the influencing elements of studies at Munich Business School. A student team typically works on solving an actual problem over a period of one to two semesters. Supervised by experienced lecturers, the students train their entrepreneurial thinking and acquire people and organisational skills indispensable in daily work life.

To utilize the theoretical knowledge of generating ideas and train various creativity techniques, MBS lecturer Harald Ostermann organised a visit to the Allianz Arena. There marketing chief Alexander Pieper presented the job definition: developing new offerings for the fans in order to prolong the time spent inside the stadium.
