Is the application preferred in English or German?

While applying for positions, can I apply at multiple locations or only to one location at a time?

Hello Marika, although I speak fluent German (ca. C1), sometimes I still find myself searching for words here and there :-) Does Roland Berger offer (formally or informally) any language resources for non-native speakers to help improve their German level?

You can apply to multiple locations and you can choose your application language by yourself :-)

Dear Aaron, I think the best training will be working and speaking with the german colleagues. C1 is rather good, so I think you will improve your vocabulary in the everday consulting life in Germany.

I agree :-), asking a question about the occasional der, die, and das is a great way to meet everyone in the office! Thank you for your answer!

With German C1/English native would it be more sensible to apply for an English role instead of German? If the language is what brings you down in the Case or interview for Germany are you automatically disqualified or could you still be considered for an English-speaking role?

With German C1, you can also apply for a german position. Maybe you can train your german skills right before the recruitingday. If the language is the only thing, that disqualified you, there will be no problem to apply to an english-speaking role afterwards in one of our international Offices.
