Between November 2008 and March 2009, the consulting firm Universum asked 19,000 students from around 100 universities to evaluate their institution on a scale from 5 (very satisfied) to 1 (very dissatisfied).

With an average of 4.8 from the grades in individual categories such as teaching staff, selection of lectures, service, or career counseling, MBS was elected the second best university in all of Germany. We are only outranked by the Handelshochschule Leipzig (4.92) which doesn't offer a bachelor, however.

The following places are taken by the WHU Otto Beisheim School of Management, the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management, and the University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg.

Looking at the private universities in detail, Munich Business School also reached second place, ahead of WHU, the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management, and the University of Witten/Herdecke.

In the ranking of the Universities of Applied Sciences, MBS holds first place with a clear margin to the University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg and the Universities of Reutlingen, Ingolstadt, Deggendorf, and Mannheim.
