Student review [#14184] for Business Administration
at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich - LMU

In general, the programme is really good. It covers all scientific topics from traditional to new trendy topics right now in fields like for example in Marketing, Informatics and Technology & Innovation. Professors are approx. young, for professors, and make their lectures and tutorials interesting. All classes have their tutorials, which are directed from tutors. Basically half of the classes are in English, especially those related to new academical topics, who you can choose in your specialization in the end of your bachelor programme.
There are two things, that I don’t like in LMU. First, there too many people in classes and respectively, there isn’t any personal connection at all between the professors and students. The professors and most of the tutors don’t engage at all with you. If you are there or not, it’s not a big deal… So, if you want a more eyes to eyes small group educational experience, don’t pick LMU. Second, in Germany in general all classes have only one exam at the end of the semester. In LMU BWL and VWL, students can take exams only once at the end of each semester. If you failed your exam, you would take it again in the end of the next semester or next, etc. Most of the programmes have GOPs, which are exams that you should necessarily pass. You can make them only two times. So, if you failed one of them in your second turn, you can’t carry on. After that, you can’t study the same programme in Germany for 4 years, but you can switch to something else, which is good. It’s a tough university, so choose well.
