Overview

Introducing

The University of Duisburg-Essen is a public university in Duisburg and Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany and a member of the newly founded University Alliance Metropolis Ruhr. It was founded in 1654 and re-established on 1 January 2003 as a merger of the Gerhard Mercator University of Duisburg and the University of Essen. Until 1994 the name of the Gerhard Mercator University was Comprehensive University of Duisburg.

With its 12 departments and more than 39,000 students, the University of Duisburg-Essen is among the 10 largest German universities. Many international students study at the University of Duisburg-Essen and give the cities of Duisburg and Essen an international atmosphere.

Academics

Academics

The aim of studying at a Business School is an outstanding, demanding and swift education that qualifies students to successfully meet the requirements of business life. At the MSM, students, professors, and other academic personnel work closely together in interactive lectures and outside the lecture halls.  The efforts of the MSM are supported by various activities of the student administration, who are, for instance, responsible for an orientation week at the beginning of each semester. During the orientation week, new students will get to know each other in small groups and will be familiarized with the campus and with program structures and requirements. Older students and teachers will present their experiences to the small groups in individual conversations. Later on, a mentor (a member of the academic staff) will be assigned to accompany each group during the course of their studies. Thus, students will get the opportunity to meet their group and advisor several times each semester to discuss ways of increasing the speed and efficiency of their studies.
