Hi everyone,
I wonder if anyone knows about this Master in Management and Technology program in TU Munich. Whether it is worth going? (Assuming I can be admitted)
I'm female, 32 years old this year and will be 33 by the time I can start attending any school program the soonest. I actually took GMAT 10 years ago and did a master's in accounting (in US). Feels ancient when I said it. I have been working in IT sector as Business Analyst since day 1, and it's been about 6 yrs now. Over the years found my bottleneck in not having a systematically knowledge in tech is a huge pain. And I do want to continue and step up with my current profession after study. That's why I started thinking to go back to school and found this program in TU Munich seems to be a perfect match. Having a GMAT score can increase my chance of admission, so I started slowly study for GMAT after work after 10 good years...
This doubt I have is giving insomnia every night... The doubt is on whether it is worthwhile for several factors:
1. Age.. not sure if 33 would be considered too old either by the school program or work
2. Work.. Being able to work during study and access local job market is important since I would really want to stay after graduation :/
Another thing is that I cannot seem to find another appropriate program in Germany that is likely to admit me since I had no academic tech background. And Germany is currently the top option since no tuition however the changes of getting into TU Munich also seems quite low.
Not sure if anyone can give me some advice on this situation? Or any suggestion on uni programs in another country may also be viable? I haven't looked into other countries to be honest I would really like to stay within Europe. Any idea is very much appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi! Interesting situation!
You can't go wrong with a degree if there is no cost for the tuition.
One question I would ask, what is the average student age - is it 21? or is it a program open to older applicants? I ask because of the job search and network and general experience during the program to make sure you fit in and can leverage the alum network to find jobs and network.
I would also consider taking a year off work and then re-entering the workforce. Not sure if you need to worry about the job permit/etc - that can play into this as well as a positive if you need a work permit or a negative if you would lose it by entering the school.

Hey B thanks for your reply!
It is definitely one of the my concerns of not fitting in, even though they are open for older applicants and said age is not factor. Also I'm not sure what the situation is like to re-enter job market as a 30+ new grad who's not a MBA. The school program is for 2 years full-time presumably so will definitely need to be off from a full time job..
Thanks.
