Frequently asked questions
- Can I apply even if I am in my last semester (Bachelor's or Master's)?
Yes! We assume that you are enrolled at a Munich university at the time of your application and that you are not doing any full-time internships, full-time employment, or similar during your time in the scholarship. We still recommend being enrolled for the entire time, as we are a student-run program.
- Can I apply again if my application was not successful?
Yes, you are welcome to reapply to Manage and More. It is best to include in each application how you have progressed since your last application and what you have learned since then.
- How many students apply? How many are admitted to the program per generation?
On average, approximately 200 students apply to the Manage and More program per application round. About 20 scholars are admitted per generation (two generations per year).
- Can I pause the program for a certain time?
Yes! In consultation with the program management, it is possible for notable exceptions to pause the program for an internship abroad or similar.
- What is the difference from other programs?
The Manage and More scholarship focuses not only on content-related know-how and methodological skills but also on your personal development through coaching, mentoring, and other workshops.
- Is it possible to receive ECTS credits from Manage and More for my studies?
Yes, there are different crediting possibilities, but this depends on your respective study program. It is best to talk to your university faculty coordinator about this.
- Is it possible to work as a working student next to Manage and More?
Students are free to choose whether or not they want to take on a work-study job alongside the program. However, you cannot do a full-time internship or semester abroad alongside the program – you would have to pause the program.
- Do I have to be in Munich for the program?
Yes, please. We expect total commitment from students, including availability in Munich in terms of time and location.
- Do I have to go abroad?
No. You are not required to go abroad – however, we have many international collaborations that you can find on our website.
