About business, administration & law master’s in Germany
Germany's business and management master's split into three tracks. Public universities (Mannheim, LMU Munich, Cologne, Humboldt Berlin, Frankfurt Goethe) deliver quantitative MSc Finance / MSc Management at €150–€400 semester contribution. Private business schools — Frankfurt School, ESMT Berlin, WHU Otto Beisheim, Mannheim Business School, HHL Leipzig — run MIM and MBA tracks at €25k–€45k with FT-ranked outcomes. TU9 technical universities pair a business master's with an engineering base (TUM School of Management, RWTH Business School). LL.M. tracks in international, European and IP law sit at Munich, Heidelberg and Humboldt. Admission usually expects a quantitative bachelor's, GMAT for private schools, and IELTS 6.5 / TOEFL 88.
