REACH YOUR GOAL WITH LEADERSHIP COMPETENCE.STUDIERE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION – Executive MBA

Everyone has ideas. Only very few put them into practice. Yet that is exactly what the economy needs: People who are innovative. People who can manage and lead. People who change companies and markets. And especially people who implement things consistently, enthusiastically and sustainably.

For our Executive MBA program, we are looking for personalities who can turn an idea into reality. We provide the tools to do so. Whether you are a business economist, lawyer, engineer, creative or social scientist or humanities graduate, with or without a first academic degree – a position with responsibility for the future requires not only management and leadership skills, but above all innovative strength – and that is what you will learn with us.

As a business school, we focus on dynamic, competitive markets with a high rate of change and pressure to innovate. In this respect, our students come from a wide range of industries and represent companies of all sizes: from innovative start-ups and internationally oriented high-tech SMEs to large companies that are reinventing themselves.

Study with us:

  • Successful entrepreneurs who think strategically: founders and entrepreneurs

  • Innovative managers, executives and intrapreneurs who want to shape change.

  • Experts and specialists who are on their way to overarching management tasks

  • Strategic consultants

  • Creative and high-potential management career changers

The course of study in theExecutive MBA Integrated Management from Steinbeis

We have been successfully offering Executive MBA programs for 20 years. With top international partners, with maximum customer satisfaction and always with new program ideas for demanding managers who understand and shape the future. For managers of a new generation who impress not only with their specialist knowledge, but also with their versatile leadership qualities. That is why we combine general management, leadership skills, innovation and change competence.

This is what sets our part-time Executive MBA program apart:

  • You will start your leadership journey at Steinbeis University with a reliable study plan for the next 15 months. In addition to the General Management degree program, we offer you a special focus on innovation, change and leadership. Through self-study, which you organize yourself, you can study in a way that is maximally compatible with your career. In 15 months, you will have 7 teaching modules, usually 4 attendance days each, which generally take place from Wednesday to Saturday.

    Don’t have time to take part in a learning module? No problem! We offer you the flexibility to catch up on the learning module at another time. This can be done both online and in self-study/case study.

    We offer you individual additional modules (online/presence) from other Master’s degree courses and other certificate courses so that you can make the best possible use of your knowledge. In this way, you will receive tailor-made further training that will really help you progress.

  • The Executive MBA from Steinbeis is designed for entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial managers. That’s why you complete the Executive MBA seminars in the sequence of a modern business plan – from the development of the business idea (innovation) and market analyses, to the development of the strategy (with modern modeling concepts) and the strategic marketing and financial plans. Added to this is the Steinbeis transfer concept, which is unique in this form. With integrated project work, you will work on a company-relevant practical project that will advance your management skills, your personality and your career.

  • Leading international business schools, which you can optionally attend, are our partners. They shape your MBA in a unique and exclusive way.

  • Our international Executive MBA lecturers from academia, consulting and business will bring you up to date. The average rating of 1.3 (excellent to very good) shows how satisfied our students are.

  • Your Executive MBA is your ticket to an active career network at Steinbeis University (and beyond) with over 2,000 managers, entrepreneurs, experts and professionals. Intensive exchange is promoted in many ways: Alumni weekends, after-work events and for “lifelong” knowledge refreshment: free participation in our seminars.
