Programme Content

Study European Management with a special focus on Behavioural Management
Our postgraduate MBA study programme “European Management” has been providing excellence in executive education since 1990 and has been state-approved from the beginning. It is the oldest MBA programme in all of Germany. It is held in English language and includes 15 courses (usually taking place as blocked courses from Wednesday to Saturday) as well as the Master Thesis. The programme combines solid business content with modern teaching and learning methods and places particular emphasis on professional practice. To ensure this, guest lecturers from international universities and companies are invited and joint projects are integrated.

Our research and teaching focus on the behaviour of people and markets (“Menschen und Märkte”).

Companies are successful if and only if they understand people in their roles as consumers, customers, employees, and decision makers. Companies and their managers must be capable of understanding markets from economic, societal, and psychological perspectives. In order to understand behaviour in all its facets, professional managers need to be able to apply basic theories to their observations of market development and master the methods used for influencing behaviour.

Who should apply?

Practicioners

Our MBA programme “European Management” is your chance:

• If you are already working in a company and willing to take the next step in your career, though you lack the necessary managerial know-how to take on a leading position. We know that much is expected from future leaders. We offer compact professional knowledge from human resource management to business development. Practice-relevant case-studies oriented on real business issues give you the opportunity to train for possible business situations and to adapt to your new position.
• If you plan to found your own company, but are not aware of the risks that it entails. Most entrepreneurs identify financial problems as the biggest risk. But this problem is in fact only the consequence of previous bad decisions. An inappropriate marketing tool, an incorrect distribution concept or an unsuitable management approach have serious consequences on the yield of a newly founded company. It is therefore crucial that the entrepreneurs understand the complexity of the market and of their own company at an early stage in order to avoid possible risks. We provide you an insight into the different management areas and sharpen the view for potential errors and sources of risk.
