Testimonials
I consider the MIBS program as one of the very unique business master's programs in Germany. One of its greatest advantages is an amazing mix of experienced, intelligent, and communicative students from all over the world. Besides, the program offers some very interesting and insightful courses in business, political science, and sociology, that will certainly improve the critical and analytical thinking of any student. Finally, I strongly believe that both FAU and MIBS are names with a strong reputation in the professional and academic environments of Germany, which would serve as an advantage after the successful completion of the degree.
The Master in International Business Studies at FAU provided me with the opportunity to study alongside a culturally rich and diverse group of students. It deepened my knowledge in strategy, finance, sustainability, and management while also containing elective modules where I could select other areas in which I would like to advance, such as supply chain management, corporate social responsibility, German language and many others. In addition to this great program, FAU is at the heart of Nuremberg, a region with opportunities in various segments of the German industry. During my studies, I had the pleasure of taking a working student position in strategy at Siemens, where I continued as a Business Development Professional after graduating from MIBS.
