More about ESMT More about ESMT ESMT offers a full-time MBA, an executive MBA, and a master s in management program as well as customized programs for companies, and consulting services in competitive and regulatory cases. ESMT international faculty members meet the highest academic standards. The ESMT research output has a significant impact at both academic and applied levels, placing special emphasis on the management of technology, corporate responsibility, leadership, public policy, and financial economics. Degree Programs Executive Partnerships and cooperations Full-time MBA Open Enrollment Programs E.CA Economics Executive MBA Master s in Management Executive Transition Program USW Netzwerk Co-operations with universities Customized programs al Consulting Project-related cooperation partners Degree Programs Full-time MBA The ESMT full-time MBA (Master of Business Administration) is a one-year MBA program taught entirely in English. It is Germany s most international MBA, with an average of 90% of students and 80% of program faculty from outside Germany. The program begins in January of each year and focuses on management and leadership skills. It consists of two main phases: Mastering Management and Taking the Lead. Class sizes are less than 65, with a strong emphasis on soft-skills development and coaching at an individual level throughout the program. The program opens with a 6-week module in which MBA participants are immersed in the general principles of responsible leadership, business ethics and the role of business in society. This is followed by a series of courses commonly known as The Manager s Toolbox, which expose participants to the theories underlying the various functional areas of business administration. Here, students develop functional expertise and core managerial skills. 5
More about ESMT During the second phase, participants build on their understanding of management fundamentals by learning to integrate different functional areas in a strategic way. Courses such as Business Strategy, Corporate Strategy and Entrepreneurship allow participants to put their learning into practice. The objective now is to develop an ability to make a difference through innovation, entrepreneurship, governance and leadership. A separate 70- session Leadership Competence Development program has been added to the curriculum in 2011. In addition, MBA participants can choose from two elective tracks, Management of Innovation and Technology (MIT), and Global Sustainable Business (GSB), each of which includes a module in China, the US or further afield. The ESMT MBA has a strong practical component. Following the elective courses, participants use their strategic learning in a team-based seven-week applied fieldwork, usually with one of ESMT s corporate partners or with an entrepreneurial venture. Popular sectors for projects are energy (particularly renewables), banking and insurance and high-tech entrepreneurship. Students use their team s experience to write a master s thesis on a theoretical topic based on the fieldwork. The program finishes with a module on creating a business plan and culminates with an innovation competition for students, the winners of which represent ESMT internationally. The MBA program is accredited by AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), AMBA (Association of MBAs), as well as by the German accreditation agency FIBAA and the Berlin Senate. Executive MBA The Executive MBA, held in English starts in September of each year. The part-time program lasts 18 months, and graduates are awarded the degree Master of Business Administration. The program focuses on International Management and Technology and Innovation. The Executive MBA is aimed at committed and experienced professionals, who have a first degree and who would like to continue working while studying for the MBA degree. It is especially designed for executives who are planning to take on an international management position in the future. The Executive MBA is made up of on-site modules with classroom sessions, e-learning and an international field trip. Executive MBA participants profit from the same possibilities as the students of the full-time MBA. In addition they can immediately convert what they have learned into practice. In this way, not only do the Executive MBA participants profit from the program but also the companies for which they work. Master s in Management The Master s in Management (MIM) program starts in September each year. The program targets young graduates with strong quantitative skills who want to develop their knowledge of business and the management of technology. In addition to 11 months of campus-based learning in Berlin, the 22-month program includes three applied terms with organizations: a first-year internship of up to six months in Germany or abroad, a two-month team-based field project, and a four-month master s thesis internship with supporting companies or a research 6
