MBS master’s students assign top grades for the general study situation and the teaching offer

Munich Business School achieves top rankings in four of the eleven categories for universities of applied sciences teaching business studies. The master’s students are very satisfied with the general study situation and rate the university with a score of 1.5. In a nationwide comparison, no other private university of applied sciences achieves a better result. MBS also scores in the category of teaching offers with a rating of 1.5 and thus not only positions itself as the best private university of applied sciences, but also at the top of all universities of applied sciences in the ranking. In addition, the surveyed students praise the study organization as well as the transition to the master’s program. Since the judgements in these two categories are very good overall and the difference is too small, the CHE assigns the same ranking group for all faculties. Another point to note is that the students do not give a worse grade than 2 in any of their evaluations. In the other categories based on student evaluations, such as support during studies, supervision by lecturers and support for studying abroad, Munich Business School is therefore placed in the middle group.

MBS master’s programs are characterized by a high international orientation and a strong contact to professional practice

The evaluations of the students themselves are always particularly interesting and revealing, since the successful education of this group of people is our highest goal. We are more than satisfied to see that the students’ assessments are in line with the evaluations from fact-based rankings, especially this year, which is characterized by many uncertainties and changes. The special survey on the Corona pandemic was already a first joyful harbinger, and the complete master ranking now tops the whole thing off”.
