It is possible for students to have courses that they have attended during the Master's program transferred to the later doctoral degree course.

Career prospects/ opportunities with the degree:

The Mannheim Master in Management qualification enables graduates to pursue a career in business or in research (e.g., doctoral degree). Due to the many specialization options within business studies and the fact that they can be freely combined thanks to the program’s module system, there is a wide range of possible skill profiles. The individual specialization in particular is an ideal preparation for students to pursue either a career in business or in academia.
