What is the degree program about?

The MBA program in Business Management for working professionals is a specially designed and carefully scheduled program that provides students with the training they need for demanding careers in the global market and enables them to develop their existing management skills.

The MBA program is aimed at general mangers who are able to process complex situations and make responsible decisions, even when under great pressure as a result of changes and budget constraints.

This professional development program provides students with theoretical knowledge and practical solutions for specific management tasks. It enables them to process and solve problems successfully in business practice using tried-and-tested academic instruments. Students also improve their judgement and their skills for critical reflection in the context of theory and professional practice, and learn how to consider issues as part of their wider context. This is achieved through a combination of demanding theoretical learning and collaborative practice-oriented work.

  • As Germany’s most innovative university, we know: Diversity means strength.

    The part-time MBA program in Business Management is therefore aimed specifically at senior professionals as well as (young) professionals and university graduates.

    It is aimed at senior professionals who already have sound management experience and want to completely update their business profile against the backdrop of digitalization and make it fit for the future. It is also aimed at professionals who already have extensive professional experience, but who would like to acquire comprehensive management know-how at a top level for the first time.

    Furthermore, it is aimed at career-ambitious (young) professionals who, in parallel to their professional activities, are seeking a high-quality academic qualification and a significant improvement in their career opportunities.

    Last but not least, it is aimed at high-achieving university graduates who want to combine a Master’s degree with career entry in order to take their first career steps more quickly.

    What unites them all in their diversity is their common spirit: They are ready to enthusiastically contribute to our joint MBA program with their specific professional expertise, their individual professional experience and their personal strengths.
