Kick-off: Getting to know each other at the start of your studies

The MBA programme starts every year with a kick-off event for first-year students. The event provides all the important information about the programme, courses and exams. Above all, however, it offers the opportunity to get to know fellow students in a relaxed atmosphere and to be inspired by successful start-up stories, for example from H-BRS alumni.

Field report: Combining studying and starting a business

We asked Moritz and Oliver, two of our very first MBA students - and now graduates - in an interview how they reconciled their own start-up with the Start-up Development (MBA) degree programme.
