Welcome to the information about Masters in Business Studies in Germany

First of all welcome to everyone who ever think to pursue his or her Masters in Business Studies in Germany. There is no universal rule that you have to follow this, but here is some of the experience and information so far achieve. I will share it here and hope it will help upcoming student. I will go through FAQ [Frequently Asking Question] and will try my best to answer those questions, by that you will get all your desire answer or information. But before that I want to thank you two people in this BSAAG group they are 1. Adnan Sadeque & 2. Lennon Russel for inspired me writing such document.

1. I want to do MBA or Masters in Business Studies. What is the prospect? How much salary they get? What are the scholarships I will get……..????

Ans: There is so many people make question like this without browsing and reading document of this group. Hey, first you made good choice that you think of your higher studies in Germany. So calm down and you did another good thing by joining this group [ BSAAG website http://www.facebook.com/groups/BSAAG/]. Germany is highly subsidies country in the world for their education system. So compare to any other country in EU, USA,UK, Australia GERMANY is far better choice if you want peruse a High Quality education with a minimum amount of money. There is enough job opportunity and social security. Just one thing as Bangladeshi has to do, That is learn German Language. For business student knowing very good English and German Language is very important if one want to establish himself/herself in Germany.

2. What I have to do?

Ans: You have to be proactive, determine, hard worker and good planner as well. You have to pay a very good time to browse website. Two things in the very initial stage you have to do 1. Browse DAAD website [www.daad.de] and read the document of BSAAG group. And before starting ask yourself what you will do after study?

#If you want to stay in Germany and build your career over there you must have to learn German Language. # If you just want to going for study and will back to Bangladesh then knowing limited German Language is fair enough, if you do not want to learn. But remember knowing foreign language is always assets.

3. What kind of plan and preparation is needed?

Ans: No one knows better than you, about your overall financial, educational and personal life. Being in abroad for study and career is a big decision itself. You have to go through so many process, issue and difficulties. In the very beginning you have to think about finance. Here I am giving you one equation---

# Masters Program Medium of Instruction is English + Low tuition fees [200-600 euro/semester] = Limited Option, # Masters Program Medium of Instruction is German [MBA and Other Masters Program] + Low tuition fees 200-600 euro/semester]= So many Option, # Masters Program Medium of Instruction English (MBA)+ Tuition fees[1000 PLUS euro/semester, Often it is /6 times per semester]=So many Option.

# As most of the student come in Germany as Self- Financed student so you have to put it in mind that you will need 7908 euro [its your one year living cost in Germany] to get the visa. Along with that you will need 1000-2000 euro [depends on you for the first few months cost eg: dormitory cost, tuition fees, administrative fees, insurance, monthly cost etc]. So all together you have to prepare for at least 11000 euro and its including air fare. So do your math sharply # Start Language course: You can do it in Goethe Institute in Dhanmondi Dhaka or Die Sparche in Jmal Khan Chittagong. Remember if you want to be in Germany Language is very crucial and important and its assets indeed.

Now one person has to think what he wants and what he can do under this circumstance. So do your math sharply. Ask yourself what you have , what you want to do and what you will able to achieve.

4. What are the medium of instruction for the business related masters program? Ans: There is 3 type of medium of instruction for the business related program. Those are: # 100% English, # 100% German and often mix of # German and English eg: 70% German and 30% English vice versa. 5. What are the masters Program available? Ans: I would like to say almost all the program, Masters in Marketing, Management, Accounting, Finance, Human Resource Management, International Business, International Marketing, Foreign Trade, Business Administration, Management Information System, Supply Chain Management, Logistics Management etc. 6. Which universities offer these programs? Ans: There is so many university offers these programs. There is two type of University in Germany those who offer these programs. They are 1. Known as University 2. University of Applied Science, in German the often known as Hochschule or Fachschule. There is no only basic difference that University offer Phd, but University of Applied Science does not offer Phd. And there is nothing to worry at all. And if you want to know more difference you can browse DAAD and read the document here in this Group. Here for your convenience I am giving you some program name, along with university name other important information. NB: Remember regarding higher study the best way is to browse and look to the most update information, not to the old one. That might be only for your reference

7. What is the best profile (equip myself) if I want to go for Master in Business Studies along with

English Medium of Instruction Program. Ans: English Program often known as International Program. The best profile one can have 1. Bachelor Degree in Business Administration (BBA) major or minor can be in any Subject. But Major and Minor important in a way like if your Bachelor is from Marketing and you want to apply Masters in Accounting. It is not like that you can not apply other subject. You may apply but for sure chance will be less. 2. Work Experience: At least 2/3 years will be the best in any renowned company. But if it is Multinational

that will be best. 3. IELTS: 6.5/7 with no Band below 5.5, If it is 6 in all Band that will be best. 4. German Language at least A 1. 5. Any research or internship paper. 8. I want to do Masters in German language, is there any problem? Ans: Not at all. But personally I will not advice it. If it is Bachelor then I will advice go for it. But for Masters I prefer English Program along with MS one can learn German Language. Why I do not prefer? I think in Masters Level it will become a bit tough. Because before starting Masters you must have to complete C1 level Language. And as Language student you will not able to work unless it is holiday. Apart from that you have to pay good amount money and time for this language program. But if you determine you want to do it, then its not impossible. So all it depends on your own decision and financial condition. 9. I am looking For MBA what kind of requirement I need? And: MBA is very expensive. In most of the MBA Program tuition fees is very high. It is started with min 1000 euro/ Semester and in Some Business School its 5/6 times per semester. Along with that you will need very Good GMAT and IELTS score. Not only that you must need have 2/3 years worked experience in well reputed company along good job responsibility. Now decision up to you! 10 Why I have to change the typical mindset about MBA? Ans: Because in Bangladesh every one doing MBA no matter its quality, and profile people have. MBA is executive study design for mid level to senior people. If you check the profile in different university not even in Germany rather in the whole world. People who are doing MBA they are in already there job life more than year’s very min service is 2.5/3 years wok experience. So you need to change the typical concept say I complete BBA and I want to do MBA like it is happening in our country. The reality is NO you cannot do it in EU or any good Business School in the world. You must need minimum work experience. So conclusion without GMAT, IELTS and Work Experience MBA is quite impossible. And last but not least its EXPENSIVE!!!

11 GMAT is needed for Masters? Ans: No, most of the cases it is not. But in some masters they want GMAT. But that can compensate if you very good work experience at least 2.5/3 years. 12. University mentions that they need 4 years Bachelor, I did 4 years bachelor in Bangladesh. So is that equivalent to EU system? Ans: NO. It is not. In EU system they mean 210 credits for four years Bachelor. But in most of the BD university offer BBA which is 135-150 credit [NSU,IUB,EWU,AIUB etc], so in USA system if you do not have 210 credits they will not accept you as 4 years bachelor degree. So conclusion is most of the 4 years Business Bachelor Degree in Bangladesh known as 3 years Bachelor degree in Germany/ EU system.

13. So how can I apply to those university who looking for 4 years Bachelor? Ans: Often some universities compensate that requirement by work experience if you have. 14. No I will not apply for MBA, I am looking for Masters and want to skip GMAT is it possible? Ans: Of course most of the Masters in Business studies do not require GMAT so you have ample option. 15. I do not have any work experience, but I can manage it, so should I submit those? Ans: Of course NOT. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS! Because after a certain time they will revealed it’s fake. And for sure you will not able to answer so many query which you do not have any experience. So again please don’t do this. 16. My background is not business, can I do MBA/ Masters in Business Studies? Ans: MBA YES you can do this. Masters NO you cannot. MBA is executive study if you meet certain requirement you can enroll to it. And apart from typical Business Subject there is MBA in Engineer. And there is some other different kind of MBA. I mean those MBA focus on different field rather than typical Management, Marketing etc. For Master you cannot, well let me you example you will do Masters in Marketing. So the requirement will be bachelor in Marketing. As you are from engineering or textile so you cannot go for Masters in Marketing. 17 . Is there any Scholarship for Business Student? Ans: Yes there is DAAD Scholarship. You have to prepare for that at least 6-12 months before. But the options are limited. Subjects are not open. 18. Where and How I can apply for DAAD Scholarship? Ans: All the information you will get in DAAD website. And you can send your application package to German Embassy in Dhaka. But for that please put your eyes closely what is the deadline for submission to embassy. 19. What are the benefits in DAAD scholarship? Ans: You do not have to pay any tuition fees, your airfare will be free in economic class, per month approximate 700 euro you will get. And before the main program you will join in language and cultural program arrange by DAAD. At those two month you will get 500 euro/month. 20. What is there condition? Ans: After completion of your Masters you must have to BACK to your Home country. 21. Will you advice it for me? Ans It’s your choice if you want to back Bangladesh and do your masters in those limited option then its best option. BUT if you want to stay in Germany by any means you should not come with DAAD scholarship. As their condition you have to back after your Masters.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I studied Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), (Major- …….. & Minor: ……..) at University Name. The emphasis of my study was understanding the fundamental managerial theories and principles that govern modern day business. I also learned about other diverse topics such as accounting, development economics, entrepreneurship, project management and strategic management. I found the last two topics, project management and strategic management, to be very interesting and challenging, because one of my career aspirations is to lead development projects with a strategic focus.

Right now I am working as Deputy Manager Supply Chain Management Department & Project Coordinator, Company Name. Before that I was in Company Name as Assistant Manager Supply Chain Management Department and Company Name as a Territory Sales Manager. So after my graduation I work almost 3 years for different multinational company as a Manager. I felt for a company and as a Manager strategic planning and implementation is very important. So I am looking for Masters program so that it will augment my existing skill and experience. The opportunity of a master’s degree education in Europe will provide me with a huge opportunity of having international exposure and global perspective.

The knowledge of Strategic Project Management will allow me to have a deeper insight into strategy preparation, implementation and evaluation. With all the uncertainties and changes in the world’s political, economic, social and technological situations, I believe that management must have a solid understanding, supported by a strong academic foundation of how to guide companies through these challenging times.

Thank you very much for considering my application. I look forward to launching my master’s education. If you have any query please feel free to advice me.

Sincerely,Sign

Due Bangladesh Bank (BD Central Bank) foreign currency regulation, one cannot remit any foreign currency without specific paper and procedure. And for application fees you can no direct deposit foreign currency to abroad. The ways are---1. By International Credit Card, 2. If you have any friends and relative in Germany request him/her to pay for you. 3. By Virtual credit card [ I have doubt about that in Germany] but it works for UK etc. This service is available in Dutch Bangla Bank (DBBL) and Standard Bank Ltd NB: Always mention your application/payment reference No. If it is credit card mention CCVI (Credit Card Value Identification No).

Ans After the Deadline of application typically it takes 15-30 days, it may varies university to university. 52. I got admission in several program, I am confused what I have to do? Ans: Well it may happen. So it’s better when you will apply at that time make your own ranking. See first ask yourself what you want to be. And then go for the program. To support your decision you may ask seniors around you. And along with that just check the program content, how long the program is going on, what is the employment situation of the previous graduate, what is their profile, what is the history and status of the university etc. 53. What I will do if I did not accept the program ? Ans Just decline the program within the deadline. If you Accept mark it if you Decline then just mark it, then sign and date. Here is sample

NB: Please Accept or decline within the deadline. 54 After making final decision and getting Offer letter what should I do? Ans 1. Advice your university to send the Hard Copy of Offer Letter as its mandatory for facing embassy for visa. 2. Take appointment for visa interview from German Embassy by email or Phone 3. Make a block a/c in the bank. The most common bank for this is Commercial Bank of Ceylon or Estern Bank Ltd (EBL). But if you have a/c in HSBC or SCB then I will advice you do that from there so you can save 25 thousand BDT, as its need to open a/c in Ceylon. Details about block a/c you will find a document in the BSAAG Group.

60. It seems being in Business Career in Germany a bit tough? Ans: Yes it is indeed. But it is not IMPOSSIBLE. Remember high risk high return. Here by the word risk I mean hard work and effort. As business post graduate you will lead a department. Often you have to command a native people. So overall you must have to hold that much of guts, personality, knowledge, skills, presentation, knowing language etc. You have to be all rounder. In a conclusion now a days Business post graduate getting very lucrative salary in Germany compare to others. So decision is yours! Best of luck! Again I try my best to help the future post graduate Business studies student. And whatever the I advice that I share from my experience. Someone may follow different way and become successful. Wishing you all the best. Who ever read this document and felt its helpful my only request to them please help other student as well.
