Our Speakers

Prof. Dr. Patricia Kraft

I am the Academic Director of the MBS Bachelor program and responsible for the academic management - from the program structure, the course contents to the supervision of the students.

Short distances characterize the daily study routine at MBS.

Often, the offices are located right next to your lecture hall! We appreciate the personal exchange among each other and the small but nice MBS campus gives you and us the perfect opportunity to do so!

On four floors you will not only find innovative seminar rooms, but also study rooms for individual learning, a computer lab, a library, a study center for working together or having lunch, an MBS lounge for bigger events, and a cozy garden where you can recharge your batteries between lectures in the summer.
