What Students Say
Likes
- The best I liked about EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht is the location - it has the best surroundings I could ever think of. Located at the banks of the Rhine river, it gives a soothing vibe being there.
- Diversity - You will find students across the globe, people from Germany, India, US, Middle East etc which makes it a truly global university.
- Curriculum - Curriculum is highly curated for all streams which makes it ready for all students to go the market and ready from day one in the real world.
Dislikes
- Career fair - I believe the career fair in the university could be more extensive and students can benefit from it.
- Hostel - Hostel in the university is expensive as compared to staying in the local area.
- Collaboration/ Networking events - I believe there could be more networking events which can help students for their support in terms of career.
Course Curriculum
- The curriculum is more mix in nature. It has both theories in place and connects with the corporate world for the practical exposure.
- More practical approach is what I would say as the positive aspect and less towards deeper understanding of topics is what I can assume as negative aspects of the curriculum.

Competition and CAT Score along with experience I believe was the reason for getting rejected at those colleges
-
It gave me an international exposure which was the main reason for choosing this college and also I got my desired specialisation.
-
I got admitted into this through SPJIMR - GMP program where you have to study 6 months at SPJIMR and the remaining at the selected university. My GRE score was helpful to get admission into this program.
CAT and GRE and GMAT, depending upon the university the eligibility is decided -
As we don't have a clear visibility on the university abroad it becomes difficult to choose. With thorough research and networking it becomes an informed decision making process.
-
I studied MBA in finance and Strategy Consulting as I was more aligned towards the financial domain and having a background in IT Consulting I believe I should go ahead with Strategy Consulting as well.

Choosing a stream should always be aligned with your strengths and aspirations.

Accommodation

Exams
