In the VDI news of 5th of March 2010 there can be found an interesting article on the relevance and use of an MBA for engineers.
The Article also mentiones two engineers who explain the benefits the MBA had for them. Both of them are TiasNimbas alumni.
Another reason why we are offering three scholarships for engineers this year!
Today’s Handelsblatt article comments on the Financial Times Global MBA Rankings, released earlier this week.
Apart from the fact that London Business School remains the No.1, Stefanie Hergert points out the fact that, again, no German Full-time MBA programme has managed to make it into this year’s ranking.
TiasNimbas Business School, however, is represented with it’s successful Full-time MBA Programme, offered in Utrecht, The Netherlands.

Handelsblatt January 29, 2010: Global MBA Ranking
As universities and colleges in Germany now have to change their study programmes into Bachelor and Master they have to face accreditation agencies. Since the Bologna reform, the numbers of MBA programmes in Germany have proliferated phenomenally.
There are more than 200 MBA-programmes in Germany, but only a few of them are ‘real’ MBA-programmes, which address non-economists, are international oriented and taught in English language.
“It is the missing international focus that is the deficit of German accreditation agencies. They rarely attach importance to internationality”, says Eva Niemann, responsible for the German activities of TiasNimbas Business School.
There are international accreditations like AACSB, Equis and AMBA. They set high standards. Nevertheless, none of the German agencies has the reputation of the organizations standing behind. MBA providers wanting to be visible internationally and to disassociate themselves from dummy MBA-programmes therefore count on international seals.
“In Germany there are about 160 Programmes called MBA’s. Only five percent – less than 10, however, are ‘real’ MBA Programmes, which fulfil international standards.” explains Dr. Eva Niemann, Head of Office of TiasNimbas Bonn in today’s Handelsblatt-Karriere article titled: “MBA – Der Deutsche Markt wächst.”
