The abroad modules had been the cherry on the cake - this was the summary from our Graduates.

On February 3, 2018, the 13^th MBA class of the THM Business School were celebrating their graduation event at the famous hill-side Restaurant Johannisberg in Bad-Nauheim.

While having some sparkling wine, Prof. Dr. Jan Freidank presented the greetings from the THM President, Prof. Dr. Matthias Willems and the Dean of the THM Business School, Prof. Dr. Sven Keller. The 21 Graduates joined the event with their families and during the evening all had a kind of revival of the MBA times. A picture-show gave opportunity to see and hear interesting & funny stories. More than one had a kind of déjà-vu. Michael Döring made the classmates’ speech and all agreed: it had been an intensive time - they learned a lot from the professors, but also from each other: their rich professional experience from different branches & companies is an asset and the abroad modules, in Bergamo/Italy and in the USA were “the cherry on the cake”. The 3 babies and 2 toddlers who were celebrating with us, were proof enough that sufficient time had been left for “private things”. Not only careers, also families got the boost.

Our graduates came from the following academia disciplines: Business Administration, Engineering, IT, Natural and Life Sciences, law, sociology, cultural sciences, Asia- and Oriental studies.

They work in the following companies: Accenture, ac-Tischendorf, Alexander Binzel Schweisstechnik, Bender Group, Brüel & Kjaer Vibro, Continental Teves,  Diehl AirCabin Jurpex, Kettenbach, Körber Automation, Max-Planck-Institut, Netzlaboranten, profitext com, Samson AG, [bu:st] automotive GmbH, ThermCable, THM, UTC Aerospace Systems, Viessmann.

We are proud that the „wild 13“ had a good percentage of women power in class (6 from 21). Also the portion of international students was good. They all work in Germany, but were from Ghana, Sierra Leone, India, Chile and the USA. Professor Freidank mentioned statistics in his speech showing that Germany needs well-educated foreign people – they bring their expertise into the companies and even the USA can’t live without international academia.  

Best of MBA 13 was Mr. Andrej Jautze from Viessmann with a German GPA of 1,1. His wife, pregnant with the 2^nd child at home, being right into a house-building project - he is a multi-tasking genius.

Prof. Freidank invited all to join our THM MBA Alumni-Association with the advantage of the Cooperation with the Baltic Management Institute in Vilnius. Word-to mouth and live experience are the best marketing tools and Freidank encouraged family & friends to visit MBA 14 or 15 classes for a trial visit.
