What is the degree program about?
The MBA program in Global 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 managers 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.

The Global MBA program is a full rank University Master program that can be studied in „part-time“, making it much easier for the participants to match academic studies with the challenging tasks and commitments of a management career. Our program is organized and taught completely in English, making sure that all the competencies and know-how gained in the program can be used in international or multinational firms as well as in SMEs operating in different countries.
We are driven by the conviction that the know-how of “General Management“comprises the ability to analyze complex situations and developments and the ability to make „good“ decisions although we normally have imperfect information. This know-how will be acquired by taking nine courses, while three of them can be clustered to the core area “Leading“, another three to “Acting“ and the remaining three courses to the core area “Analyzing“.
Concrete management tasks and challenges will be analyzed in using academic methods and tools, based on newest management theory, enabling us to have a “clearer view“ of the situation and to derive successful and responsible management decisions at the end. Critical reflection, so typical for an academic study, will be strongly combined with a high degree of practical experience and group-dynamic work – an educational approach that makes our Global MBA program so special and substantial.
Overall, a total of 60 ECTS credits are earned in three semesters. These are made up of nine modules with 5 ECTS credits each and the Master’s thesis with 15 ECTS credits.
