Employment ReportMBA Graduating Class of 2017
The WHU MBA Program offers a unique learning experi-ence – creating a challenging and inspiring learning envi-ronment for students who seek to grow and reach their full potential. We provide them with the tools and skills to become successful managers in a global business world. We believe that excellence in management not only requires superior knowledge of management con-cepts and tools, but that effective leaders should also have a strategic vision, team spirit, and a deep sense and appreciation of ethical behavior and responsibility.
With small class sizes we ensure excellent mentoring bet-ween professors and students, a strong bond between our over 4.000 alumni and students, as well as individualized and tailored career support.
We are proud that on average our students more than doubled their pre-MBA income: from an average pre-MBA salary of € 36,220 to an average post-MBA salary of € 74,761. These numbers highlight that investing in the WHU MBA advances one’s personal and professional development and provides value for money. Over 82% of our students secured top positions within three months of graduation and 89% changed either function, industry, or location – proving that our students are willing to trans-form their careers in order to make the next step.
The strong German economy attracts many of our students – the majority of them remain in Germany upon graduation to pursue their careers. Due to the shortage of skilled workers in the job market, the German government offers international graduates from German universities an 18-month jobseeker’s visa. In addition, changing a jobseeker’s visa into an employment visa is a simple process. The future looks bright for MBA students in Germany.
