Besonderheiten der Studiengänge

ESMT Full-time MBA
Our Full-time MBA program is composed of two main phases: Mastering Management and Taking the Lead.
During phase one, you gain a solid foundation in the fundamentals of management such as organizational behavior, corporate finance and marketing. At the end of the first six months you get the chance to discover new business environments during an international field project.

The second phase stresses the areas where future leaders must excel: innovation, entrepreneurship, governance and leadership.
An integrative part of “Taking the Lead” is the practice project, in which you work in a team on an assignment submitted by one of ESMT’s partner organizations. The nature of the seven- week assignment is similar to that of a consulting project with the aim of proposing applicable recommendations to the company’s management.
The practice project also serves as the background for your master’s thesis. This master’s thesis aims to test your ability to review an area of management studies, to synthesize the main theories and models, and to discuss their applicability.

ESMT Executive MBA – How you learn shapes how you lead
Our Executive MBA program gives you the chance to thrive in your job while earning a top degree and preparing for a major career boost.
The program consists of three phases:
The first phase builds a solid foundation in business and management issues such as economic thinking, accounting and performance management and business strategy.
The second phase prepares you to make a difference by developing your strategic leadership capabilities. You will also have the opportunity to sharpen your edge in one of the program’s two focus areas: technology management and innovation or international management.
The final phase takes you on a 12-day international field seminar and gives you the chance to work on an individual assignment within your company. This practice project increases your visibility within your own business environment as you deliver direct value to your company. The assignment is most likely the basis for your master’s thesis.

A vital component of the program is the Individual Leadership Development Itinerary (ILDI). It has been designed to enhance your leadership competences through individual and group coaching, a series of executive tools and skills development activities, personal reflection, and exchange with faculty and peers.
