Our Approach
Teamwork is an essential element of our teaching approach. In study groups of four to five, participants discuss current course contents and apply concepts and tools in practically oriented projects. Group success critically depends on group members working as a team and not as individuals. Participants therefore learn to function in teams, developing a deep sense of team spirit. By selecting participants from a wide variety of professional backgrounds and nationalities, we make every effort to ensure a diversity of skills and experiences. To achieve the highest team potential, course instructors provide regular feedback on team and individual progress. The program is taught by senior members of the WHU faculty and, in the program’s international module, by the faculty of hosting partner universities. The teaching faculty has an outstanding research record as well as solid experience in management practice. Lectures by senior executives of successful international companies complement the program to include the industry perspective on effective international management.

The career service department organizes recruiting events for more than 60 companies on campus every year. Company presentations, career days, career markets and informal dinner conversations all contribute to successful networking.

A resume book with the resumes of our graduating MBA students is published every year and is sent out to more than 130 selected international companies. Companies then contact candidates whom they would like to meet.
