Aditya Yardi, India, MBA Class of 2026, Commercial Project Manager at Schwarz Digits, Germany
“The MBA at Hochschule Pforzheim strengthened my understanding of the business world while equipping me with essential life skills like adapting across cultures, solving problems, and bringing people together. It challenged my thinking, pushed me beyond my comfort zone, and instilled a mindset of continuous learning that continues to guide me today. It’s more than a degree. It shaped me into a more well-rounded individual and left me with lifelong relationships and memories.”

Michelle Ahras, Malaysia, MBA Class of 2023, Senior Consultant at EX, Germany
“What I really liked about the MBA at Pforzheim is that its curriculum is constantly being reviewed and updated to reflect current trends and themes-of-interest of not only the German labor market, but also Western Europe. All of this while maintaining a strong core business foundation in its repertoire. This has helped me transition seamlessly to the job market without there being an awareness gap after being away for 2 years, and has enabled me to effectively collaborate with colleagues and serve clients across the globe. When I really think about it, I can liken my current work as an extension of my MBA experience. On top of that, the MBA has a solid connection to its alumni and industry network one can reach out to. It is particularly helpful when one needs assistance on studying, working and living in Germany.”

"The MBA was the key to get all strategy and consulting position interviews despite not having the required experience at times. Almost a decade after graduating, I can see this with absolute confidence that the PF MBA simulates real life challenges very well and cultivates a solution oriented mindset. The rich exposure to open debates and presentations in the classroom prepared me for my current role at EY."
