Programme structure

A unique start to your studies.

Jump straight in at the deep end with the Social Impact Challenge during the MBA Onboarding Week. You will work on a real-life case study for a local company with your fellow students. At the end of the week, you compete as a team and present your work.

One study programme, two options

MBA, full-time: The study programme provides you with in-depth knowledge of economics, management know-how, and intercultural skills, as well as supporting your personal development. It thus optimally prepares you for a management position. The MBA is designed as a full-time programme over two semesters and offers you an efficient way to achieve your career goals.

MBA, part-time: Complete your MBA programme at EBS with maximum flexibility – without any loss of salary. With this version of the EBS MBA, you have the opportunity to extend your studies to four semesters. This allows you to combine the advantages of part-time study with the full study experience of a classic full-time programme.

Mode of study

  • Fully on-site with voluntary online elements
    Phase of attendance: yes, compulsory
    Pace of course: instructor-led (specific due dates for lectures/assignments/exams)

International elements in the curriculum

The curriculum of this study programme includes international elements that support global perspectives and cross-cultural learning:

  • Language training provided
  • Training in intercultural skills
  • Projects with partners in Germany and abroad
  • International guest lecturers
  • Integrated/optional study abroad unit(s)

    You will also have the chance to gain maximum international experience during your studies in the MBA full-time programme. If you extend your study time by another semester at one of our partner universities, you will not only obtain the MBA from EBS Universität, but you will also be conferred the degree (Master or MBA) of the chosen university. More about the partner universities...

  • International comparisons and thematic reference to the international context

EBS is pure internationality. Whether in the curriculum, in the English-language lectures or on the intercultural campus, you can feel everywhere that internationality is part of the EBS DNA. Learn more...

Integrated internships

As full-time MBA students, you may choose to complete an internship of at least four weeks in a field related to your programme of study.
