Any official rankings for German MBA programs?

The good ones are EBS (private), WHU (private), Mannheim (public).

Rankings may sometimes be misleading, ignoring quite frequently those schools which have not been marketing themselves aggressively for long. From cost and job prospects (and hence ROI prospects), these schools are better than many of those published in ranking lists. Best way to find out is to contact the current students or alumni. As for the one I am enrolled in, you may find my feedback below:

Well, German programs are pretty new to the game, and so ranking can be quite off regarding the German programs. Thankfully, one of our consultants lives in Germany, and tells us that Mannheim, WHU, ESMT and HHL Leipzig are the top business schools in Germany, corresponding with what our peers above stated.

Hi sayantanc2k,

Firstly, thanks for the valuable info on HHL. I decided to do my MBA in Germany and HHL was my top bets.

I was almost there to complete my application. I need help in completing my scholarship essays.

In Particular "HHL Young Leader Scholarship Program". Any sample format for these questionnaires?

or any valuable inputs to write those.

Thanks,
Tarak.

Hi Tarak, Good to hear that you are applying to HHL... an excellent decision I would say!
As for your scholarship essay, make a note of the following:
1. The evaluator would evaluate the logical structure and argument you present in the essay. These aspects are probably more important than the subject knowledge.
2. Make sure that the whole composition is your original. These essays go through a stringent plagiarism check software.
3. Do not deviate much from the word limit.
4. Try to illustrate examples relevant to the points you make from your personal life if possible.
Good luck ! Do write to me if you have further queries...... Rgds, Sayantan

Country-wise rankings with credibility for audiences across the globe are hard to find. However, if you can get in touch with someone from Germany who has done or is planning to do an MBA, they could probably share with you a couple of rankings by credible publications.
Till then, I believe your best option would be European rankings by dependable publications like the Financial Times. While there are other reliable publications that publish MBA rankings for Europe, they are generally too short to pull out more than a couple of German schools.
The Financial Times’ Best Business Schools rankings 2019 ranked 9 business schools from Germany. Pretty much making it a Top 10 German business schools list.
Here is the list of German business schools in the order that the financial times ranked them.
FT Europe Rank: School name
9: ESMT Berlin
14: ESCP Europe
23: WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management
24: Mannheim Business School
32: Frankfurt School of Finance and Management
57: HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management
69: ICN Business School
74: University of Cologne
76 Tum School of Management

MBA colleges in Germany provide different types of MBA, such as Executive, Online, and International. Based on the recent QS Global ranking 2022, out of 73 full-time MBA programs in Europe, six business schools in Germany make it to the list. Here are the top MBA colleges in Germany:

Mannheim Business School
