Excited? This is where it all begins. Fill out the Mannheim Part-Time MBA application form and ask your referee to fill out the reference form. Send all the required documents to the Admissions Manager. You can find a checklist of everything you need to include with the application form.
The Admissions Committee will review your application as a whole. If your application package is convincing enough, we will want to get to know you personally. In the first interview, you will then get the opportunity to introduce yourself and explain your motivation for pursuing the Mannheim Part-Time MBA more fully.
We want to make sure of two things: that the brightest minds join the class and that they are also the right fit for the program and our Mannheim Network in general. This is why the next step is an online group interview where you will join a group of fellow applicants and two members of our Part-Time MBA Alumni Board. Here you can show how capable you are of learning from and working with your peers. This is also a great opportunity to network with our alumni and your potential classmates!
The Admissions Committee will consider all of the interviews and application documents and notify you of their decision within two weeks. If you are selected to join the next cohort, you will receive the admission notification and contract to sign and return. Your MBA journey is about to begin!
The application fee is €150 (non-refundable).

Mannheim Business School offers a number of partial scholarships to outstanding candidates. In order to apply for a scholarship, you need to submit a complete application and ace the first interview with the Admissions Manager. Please note that a minimum GMAT score of 600 or equivalent GRE score is recommended to apply for a scholarship.
Outstanding in this case refers to several achievements and desirable characteristics such as an excellent educational and professional background, a high GMAT score, international working experience, language skills and social engagement. In addition, your performance throughout our selection process will highly contribute to the final scholarship amount.
This scholarship emphasizes Mannheim Business School’s commitment to increase the number of women in executive positions. Any woman with a proven track record of outstanding achievements in her professional life or social commitments can apply for this scholarship.
We would like to inform you that our institution does not offer full scholarships. Therefore, we kindly ask you to refrain from sending inquiries regarding full scholarships, as there is absolutely no chance of success in this regard.
Our scholarship program is limited, typically covering a maximum of 10% of the tuition fees. Given that all participants are employed full-time and, within the EU, have the option to pay monthly over the course of the 2-year MBS program, full scholarships are not necessary for financing the studies. We recommend considering private consumer loans for financing your education.
Additionally, a significant portion of the total costs can be refunded through tax returns within the EU. For more detailed information, we will be informing you about this topic in the near future with a corresponding video, which will be linked here in due time.
Thank you for your understanding.
In Germany, employees usually have the right to Bildungsurlaub, a period of paid leave granted to take part in educational programs. These programs are accredited by Germany’s individual federal states. Mannheim Business School has been accredited by the states of Baden-Württemberg and North-Rhine Westphalia. In some states, MBS has to apply for selected modules while some others automatically approve of educational events that have been approved in another state. Only Bavaria and Saxony do not have legislation for paid educational leave.
If you are a participant in one of our part-time MBA or EMBA programs, you may be eligible to apply for five days’ paid leave per year, depending on where your company is based. The rules and application deadlines differ widely in each state, so make sure to inform yourself and apply early. Find more information (in German) here.
