Self-study is sustainably promoted by a coordinated program of various learning and teaching formats such as e-learning. Working in small groups contributes to the personal learning atmosphere. Here you go through reflection and feedback loops that promote the knowledge process. Personal contact with your lecturers is also possible at any time.
Action Learning transfers your practical, current issues into the seminar room and thus into theory and leads you to a solution that can be implemented in practice. This means that you not only develop your entrepreneurial skills, but also find innovative solutions for your company during your MBA studies.
Content of the MBA program
The MBA program focuses on leadership skills, operational management as well as strategy and future management. Each subject area is divided into three modules and great emphasis is placed on practical applications and case studies. In this way, we ensure that you can immediately apply the skills you have acquired in your day-to-day work and that this directly benefits your company .
A special feature of this degree program is the one-week excursion to Hanoi & Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) in the 3rd block. This trip offers the opportunity to experience international business environments at first hand and to deepen your understanding of global management. The excursion “Intercultural Experience” is compulsory and therefore relevant to the examination.
