Course of Studies
The MBA General Management is a flexible MBA program which can either be completed full-time or part-time as an extra occupational program. This cutting-edge MBA program in Munich is aligned with the demands of today‘s globalized world and provides you with the possibility of expanding your business administration and management knowledge as well as improving and further developing your leadership and personal skills. MBS offers you a wide range of benefits in addition to a far-reaching curriculum to allow you to reach this goal.
How do the full-time and part-time MBA General Management differ?
The MBA General Management program is a four-semester program with classroom instruction every two weeks on Friday afternoons and Saturdays. This format allows you to study without suspending your career and without the difficulties that represent having to give up your regular income. In addition, you will be able to implement your recently acquired knowledge in practice at once and to discuss your daily experience on the job with your fellow students.
Regardless of whether you decide on a full-time or part-time MBA, you will be required to have at least two years of professional experience prior to your application to be admitted, whereby most of the students in the part-time program have already had over five years of experience.
Students of the MBA part-time program take some of their courses together with students of the full-time program. This will give you the opportunity to study in a more diverse environment and expand your professional network. Each semester starts off with a six-day Intensive Week in which you can visit courses, participate in network events and work on different projects.
