As a global company specializing in health care, nutrition and high-tech materials, Bayer needs highly qualified employees who are familiar with international business right from the beginning and meet the constantly growing demands of the global marketplace.

Foreign work experience and studying for an MBA
Generally, once you have obtained your degree,you will put your knowledge into practice in one of our companies abroad where you will be given the
chance to take on responsibility from an early stage. Additionally, you will have a chance to study for an MBA (Master of Business Administration) at one of
our partner universities outside Germany. The focus is on strategic marketing, global finance and international management. This course ends with a management project, leading to an MBA qualification.

Financing
During your vocational training, you will receive a training allowance. You will pay an amount (currently EUR 150) per month towards the fees for the degree course and will also be expected to finance part of the cost of your period of foreign study. To assist you in this, you will be able to obtain an interest-bearing loan. This is repayable in equal monthly installments spread over five years after completion of the program. You will receive a monthly grant during your period of foreign study. This does not have to be repaid if you work for the company for at least three years after completing the program. If you leave the company before then, you will have to pay back the grant (including all associated expenses) either in full or on a pro rata basis.
