Which courses are suitable for me?

If you are a Bachelor's student: You can choose your business courses from the bachelor's level courses only. Master's level courses are usually not open to Bachelor/undergraduate students. Exceptions can only be made if you are in your 4th year of an undergraduate program at the time you come to Mannheim. Your contact person is Ms. Christina Paul christina.paul[at]uni-mannheim.de), departmental exchange coordinator at our Business School.

If you are a Master's/MBA student: You can choose Business courses from all master's level courses. Should your home university allow you to take selected bachelor's level courses, those are of course also open to you.

Beschreibung:

Today’s markets have become difficult environments for most companies. Challenges arise from a variety of changes taking part in many different domains, impacting the behavior and conduct of customers, competitors and other important stakeholders such as suppliers and channel partners. In this landscape companies have to be smart and able to address customer needs in a way that makes them purchase their offerings and – more importantly – that satisfies customers’ genuine needs so that satisfaction and loyalty result. If there is one business discipline that can help companies to accomplish this goal – it is marketing.

A principal element of marketing is the strategic setting in which it takes place. To fully appreciate these strategic aspects it is essential to understand the concept of marketing strategy and to apply strategic marketing concepts to the different specific industry contexts companies operate in. We will focus on business-to-consumer marketing, business-to-business marketing, services marketing, and international marketing.
