Top Reasons for our MBA

The Pforzheim MBA offers the opportunity to study in two countries or even two continents either in one program or in a double degree program, at our partner universities in the US, Latin America, Asia or Europe. For students with a first degree from a German institution, it is compulsory to study the third semester abroad. For all other students, it is optional.

Ranked among the »TOP 10 International Master’s Degree Courses – Made in Germany«, the Pforzheim MBA in International Management prepares you to take managerial responsibility. Our commitment to quality and continuous improvement is confirmed by the accreditation of AACSB International. Pforzheim University Business School thus belongs to the elite group of less than 5% of business schools worldwide, and to fewer than ten of approximately 200 German business programs that are AACSB accredited.

The Pforzheim MBA opens broad new opportunities for career development. Whether you want to tackle new challenges, have experienced a slowdown in your learning curve or are unable to move ahead in your current company, the Pforzheim MBA enables you to reenergize your career with new knowledge and skills, a new professional network, and a new brand association.
