Planning for 2nd MBA in Germany

Why from Germany? German knowledge is required in most of the courses and if you have researched and it is not the case then go ahead.

Hi,

I am not convinced that learning German since a year is the reason you should do your MBA in Germany. You will be investing both time (atleast a year) and money during your MBA - so this decision has to be well thought out.
Research further on the kind of jobs available after the German MBA. How much value will this particular program add to your profile? Will you find opportunities in your target industry? Does your target company hire internationals for the roles that you desire?
I believe its important for you to find out about the "options/constraints" you have mentioned in your post above at this point in time and then take an informed decision whether you should apply there at all.

good question. PFB the reasons.

1. Cost: German masters in management courses are free, MBA in some of the colleges cost 3k or 4K Euro. Rest top colleges like WHU, LMU, IE costs 30k Euro or more.
2. Job prospects: German economy is doing well. least unemployment rate of around 4% in a decade. Strongest economy in EU. Good scope in supply chain/operations.
3. Easy visa: after the course: candidate gets 18 months to search for a job. this is enough to get a job and plan for it properly.
4. Easy PR: after 33 months (Approx) a person gets the PR, which is far better than US/UK/Australia. So a person who wants to stay long term abroad, Germany is far better option.
5. Blue card: If candidates salary is 53K or more, they are eligible for blue card, which gives access to the EU job market, so basically if he wants, he can directly apply to Sweden/NL/France/Austria/Poland etc.
6. Spouse visa: In USA, spouse cannot work under spouse visa, but in germany it is allowed, for candidates who are married, or planning to get married in next 2/3 years, this is really important.
7. Child benefits: Further, child benefits are far more in Germany than other countries like US/Singapore/India/Australia. Parents can take upto 1 year of paternity/maternity leave. Very few countries in EU offers this. Child care is free.
8.German language: I am planning to write B1 soon and plan to continue to higher levels. Learning german is very important. So, I may have higher chances of getting an internship or job if I improve my german skills.
9. No requirement of loan: If i target US/canada definitely i would require loan, but in case of Germany, I dont need education loan, there will not be a big hole in my pocket which is very important factor for me.

I could come up with these reasons as of now, there are many actually. I wish I could do my first MBA itself in Germany back in 2014. But, i did not know about all this back in time. So, for a person who wants to immigrate and stay for long term, get a job, start a family, and get good quality of healthcare and education, Germany is a fantastic option.

Hi,

I am also planning for second MBA from Germany. Could you please let me know how to search the colleges? Is the consultancy assistance required?
