Hello community
I have now received 2 offers: Manheim MMM Master in Management (prefer business information system direction), and Frankfurt am main MMF Master in Money and Finance, waiting for interview of TUM FIM Master in Finance and Information Management.
The deadline for responding the first 2 offers is around July 31, yet I'm not sure which to choose.

Can you offer some insights?

Things I consider:

1. I prefer the program to contain some IT (analytics, data processing, business information system. ...).
2. I prefer places with more English-speaking internship opportunities / living environment, because I only speak English so far, no German.

My question:

1. By July 31, what is your advice, to choose between Mannheim MMM and Frankfurt MMF?
2. If TUM FIM comes later, should I switch?

Please let me know your advice, or what you would choose if you were in this situation.
Thank you!
(first time using wiwi, not sure whether I've double posted, apology in advance)

TUM is best in terms of city and university. Mannheim is a shithole, you don’t wanna live there

Maybe you could add some information about where you want to work, as the progams differ in what you learn. If you want to get into finance Imo you should go for Frankfurt. If you want to work in consulting you should head to mannheim

Thanks for replying!
My bachelor is in finance, and did some risk management after. It is the lack of IT skills made me felt my work was so inefficient, that I've determined I must learn some data analytics/processing - regardless of what my job will be later.

I don't know whether I should still continue to work in finance - that's exactly why I have not chosen. I like to provide solutions to people's problems - and that cross industries.

The goal is job-oriented, and that gives 2 considerations:

1. It maybe easier to find internship/job, if major if business information system, rather than pure finance. BIS serve more clients; MMF's clients maybe limited to financial intermediaries and Fintech (even MMF is with some IT skills (I've heard Goethe has some workshops)).
2. It maybe easier to find English-speaking internship/job, if it is a big city, rather than a small one.

I absolutely agree with you on the job direction - yet, given that I don't speak German yet (probably can do small talk + some work communication, but unlikely will be highly fluent in 2 years), afraid front stage (even middle office) of IB and consulting jobs are NOT open to me.

Hello, thanks for replying!
What do you think about between Goethe and Mannheim? Given I have not received TUM's offer so far.

TUM FIM is the best option, even thought its very hard to get a place in this so called "elite" program.
The Mannheim master is more renown than the one from Frankfurt, but Frankfurt is a more interesting city.

All in all:
TUM FIM > Frankfurt MMF > Mannheim MMM
