An MBA degree at ISM as a career boost in the IT industry

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science Engineering and have had the privilege of working in various capacities in the IT industry, including roles such as Developer, Tech Lead, Business Analyst, and Marketing Manager. I have also had the gratifying opportunity to impart knowledge in STEM, Robotics, and Design Thinking at various schools across India.

At ISM in Munich, I had the privilege to learn so many subjects - from strategic management to business administration, from crisis management to change management, from intercultural leadership to business ethics and so much more - from some of the best professionals in their field! Prof. Dr. Silke Finken was a real inspiration. I could never get enough of her courses. Everyone from the teaching has left an indelible positive impression on me for which I am truly grateful. The faculty's commitment to supporting the students is truly commendable.

Our hands-on industry visits to Celonis and the Reply Group as well as our excursion to the BMW plant in Munich added a practical dimension to the teaching. The workshops led by Prof. Dr. Philipp Rathgeber on start-ups and Purple Bird Technologies on Scrum were extremely informative. Our module abroad in Barcelona, which focused on strategic marketing, proved to be fascinating and insightful. During this time we had the opportunity to develop marketing strategies using a business simulator and explore places such as the port of Barcelona and Neoroxpharm. So my time at ISM was very productive.

I will always be grateful for the high-quality education, practical experience and connections that ISM Munich provided me with. The welcoming atmosphere of the business school has given me the opportunity to develop both academically and professionally. The support and guidance from the professors helped me to understand the business world, its requirements and dependencies. The study abroad program broadened our horizons and deepened our knowledge. The courses were so interesting that I achieved almost 100 percent attendance. Overall, it was an enriching experience for me and I will always look back and say: "Thank you ISM!".

I am an academic at heart and the content of the curriculum for the full-time MBA program really attracted me to this course. I wanted to do an MBA to broaden my understanding of the business world and also to develop myself professionally. The MBA program at ISM Munich with its variety of topics and supportive and experienced faculty really enriched my educational journey.

I will remember Munich as a great place where I met amazing people. I have made some really good friends over the past year. It would be hard for me to leave. Professionally, I want to stay in the IT industry, but with a focus on the business aspects of the industry.
