Testimonials

A meeting place for the world”: Who would have thought I would move from a metropolis like Johannesburg to Nürtingen and get to meet the world? The HfWU is a melting pot of languages, cultures and backgrounds. Through the MBA my world has opened up even further with an opportunity to complete an internship with the UN. I now look forward to the prospect of an international career.
Keryn D. from South Africa Show Testimonial

The practically orientated MBA helped me to learn to apply technical knowledge to business. The key to this was the innovative thinking I experienced during the lectures in Marketing, Business Strategy and Supply Chain Management. My world is completely different now compared to the life I had before the MBA, it is much better and has enabled me to accelerate my ability to learn. I am always happy to return to Nürtingen!
Marcelo M. from Brazil Show Testimonial

It was the HfWU MBA program that gave me the opportunity to develop managerial skills to manage existing businesses or create new ventures from previously acquired technical knowledge. It is essential to have the option of a non-business background MBA program to help a developing country through education. I currently run my own business and help local companies to create quality jobs.
