The Program

This is a program that emphasizes “breadth” and “general management”, rather than focusing on any specialized functional area in business administration. This principle is consistent with an MBA degree offered in Germany or elsewhere globally, in that it is geared towards a holistic understanding of business administration with
a goal of grooming high potential candidates for top management and leadership positions in the future regardless of their current functional area.

A distinguishing and competitive feature of this MBA program is the inclusion of two business immersions – one in the Silicon Valley built around the topics of Digitization, Scaling Up, and New Business Models, and, a second one in Germany built around the topics of Global Growth and Competitiveness.

In addition, the WFI provides an ideal atmosphere to achieve great success. The student community is a very close and helpful one where no one is left out. Added to that, the small size of the university and with that, the limited number of students guarantees a great student to teacher ratio, allowing for a more personal relationship between the two.

Future Career Opportunities

The MBA program is designed to enable accelerated career growth for students in their current organizations and open up a wide range of future career opportunities in management.

Specifically, MBA students will:

• be able to apply for promotions within their current organizations,
• be able to demonstrate enhanced ability to manage and lead people, products, and processes within their current organizations,
• be able to demonstrate enhanced fluency in working with and managing crossfunctional within their current organizations,
• be able to devise and implement strategic initiatives for their current organizations,
• be able to apply for a wide range of management and leadership positions in a variety of industries and organizations

"I chose WFI because the focus areas offered and the topics covered were very close to the pulse of the times. Many study contents were still relevant for my professional life even after many years. In addition, I was thrilled by the atmosphere at WFI. I have very fond memories of the personal and close contact with some of the professors. The cohesion of the alumni is fun and results in a network in which you can find help or recommendations. You will always find points of contact and common topics that promote interdisciplinary exchange even after graduation."

Dr. Sacha Knorr

Director Strategic Accounts & Solutions @ StepStone Germany

"After my Bachelor's degree at the LMU Munich, the family atmosphere at the WFI was decisive for me. The Master's is application-oriented and is characterised by excellent supervision conditions and very good company contacts. I was enthusiastic about events such as the WFI Consulting Cup and the Summer Challenge, where I came into contact with Vodafone, my current employer, in a very pleasant way".

Julian Philipp Jung

Head of Customer Insights Management @ 1&1

"WFI was definitely the right choice for me, even looking back after a few years in my professional life. There are a variety of majors that allow each individual to delve deeper into exactly the area in which their own skills lie. Especially in the numerous group projects with fellow students, you learn a lot about yourself. This knowledge was formative for me in all roles in future teams. My tip: Let yourself be inspired and motivated by the careers of your fellow students, even across years, through active networking, and above all: do what you enjoy. What are you waiting for?"

Caroline Schmoeckel

Senior Recruiter @ ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE

"Maintain the friendships you made at WFI even after graduation. These people are both the best motivators and the toughest critics and will help you professionally and personally in many areas in the years to come."

Benedikt Böcker,

Head of Marketing @ McDonald's Austria

"By completing your studies, you have acquired the tools you need to start your professional life. However, my experience from my early days at PwC Singapore showed me: Basically, you don't know anything. So be curious, don't be afraid to ask questions and learn how your theoretical knowledge can be applied in practice."
