The partnership will help an exchange of students, combined classes and collaborative research between the two institutions.

Participants in the program attend Manav Rachna in India for the first year and Coburg University in Germany for the second.  After completing both years they will receive two MBA degrees. This will help them learn from two different education systems while building global exposure.

The program is designed for working professionals who have at least two years of experience, ideally in finance. It also includes a six month internship in Germany giving students practical experience in international finance.

Prof Victor J Randall from Coburg University said the collaboration brings together two institutions focused on strong academics and real-world learning. He added that the MBA will help students build analytical and leadership skills for global careers.

Dr Sanjay Srivastava who is the Vice Chancellor of MRIIRS said the dual degree gives students a chance to learn from two strong academic setups and gain direct experience in Germany’s growing financial sector.
