Application Deadline

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. In fact, many scholars applied multiple times before getting accepted. It is best to include in each application how you have progressed since your last application and what you have learned since then.

• Can I get financial support for my first semester?

  With this pilot, our foundation and the Manage and More alumni community want to make Manage and More accessible to students who could not otherwise afford to take part. This support is for students who couldn't cover their essential living costs while doing Manage and More and have no family or other financial safety net to fall back on. Everyone's situation is different, so we talk to each of you personally. Just a short, informal chat, no documents needed. If this applies to you, fill in this short form together with your application. It takes two minutes. This has no effect on your admission, and everything you share is treated confidentially. If you have any questions or aren't sure whether this applies to you, just write to Jennifer Nikolovic at jennifer.nikolovic@manageandmore.de.

• How many students apply? How many are admitted to the program per generation?

  On average, approximately 300 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 makes Manage and More different from other programs?

  Manage and More goes beyond the classroom and is fully focused on entrepreneurship and real-world impact. You'll learn directly from founders who share real-world experience, and you'll be part of the ecosystem of UnternehmerTUM, Europe's #1 start-up hub and innovation ecosystem.

• 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.

• Where do I find further information?

  We disseminate a lot more information via LinkedIn and Instagram. Plus, you can attend one of our events and even meet active schloars in person if you get the chance!

• Who can I contact for further questions?

  We on the recruiting team are happy to help! Just send us an email at application@manageandmore.de, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

• Do I need to have already founded a company to apply?

  Having an existing venture is a plus, but it's by no means a requirement. What matters most to us is your ambition, mindset, and potential.
