Darmstadt Business School offered a schedule that fits my working & private life with no compromise on life quality, and location perfectly fits me. Over pandemic the classes were changed to online with no influence on timing and amount of material given. Before even graduation, I have changed the company and my position from Manager to Senior Manager. and looking forward to more professional opportunities at my new company.
I decided to do the Darmstadt MBA amongst others because of its reputation as one of the best programs in Europe. The teachers are very competent, the program is well structured and flexible enough to combine studies, work and family even with small kids. Besides I am glad of the opportunity offered by the university to obtain a scholarship.
I finished my MBA in Summer 2022, and this gave me enormous credit at my current organization where I have been pre- promoted into director level stream leading roles and my learning at MBA really helped me to manage my new role at Merck and better synchronizing with higher management decisions. Thanks to Darmstadt Business School MBA Program!
I am a Biomedical Laboratory Technologist and a PMI Certified Associate in Project Management. I wanted to be a better conduit between science & business. Darmstadt Business School presented a curriculum and a learning model that met my needs. I have been able to work fulltime & study part time.

My most valuable take-away from the MBA program is the vision switch from thinking at an employee’s standpoint to a manager’s standpoint. Classmates are from various industries with different cultural backgrounds, offering good opportunities to perceive things we hold as daily and ordinary, in a yet critical and multi-dimensional new way.
The Darmstadt MBA teaches a unique skill set, which combines theoretical knowledge with practical experience. The program management always excel in flexibility for their students through a convenient mix of live and online classes. In addition, they offer a supportive network of fellow students, alumni and corporate partners. I have grown professionally and met friends for life.
After completing a study for mechanical engineering, attending a MBA program was the next step to increase my existing skillset. The decision for the program at HDA was based on the very good reputation, feedback from colleagues as well as the part-time approach.
Certainly an engineering study is the fundamental requirement for my current engineering job, but the wide-ranging modules from my MBA program allowed me to gather valuable insights in the business sector and to grow on a personal level.
Our MBA lecturers are bridge-builders between the academic and business spheres. A balanced mix of university professors, management experienced lecturers and business leaders of various international backgrounds guarantees a scientifically founded management education orientated towards the requirements of management practice.
