Our three Executive MBA programs start either in spring or in fall. We recommend to submit your Executive MBA application as early as possible to maximize your chances of admittance and ensure that you will receive full consideration.

  • Master’s entry qualification (Bachelor equal to the German system with 180 or 210 ECTS, Diploma, Magister, “2. Staatsexamen”)
  • Proof of at least three years of relevant full-time professional work experience (after first degree)
  • Initial leadership experience is an advantage
  • Proficiency in English (skills will be assessed during the admission process)
  • Passing the multi-stage admissions process successfully
  • Important for international applicants: If you obtained your Bachelor’s degree outside of Germany, we highly recommend applying for the VPD (and, if required, the APS) as early as possible, since the processing time can be lengthy (see further details under “Admission Process, Step 2” below).

Proof of at least three years of relevant full-time professional experience acquired after the first academic degree and by the time of application, e.g. by confirming references from your current and/or previous employer on their letterhead and signed by a person responsible in the HR department or your team lead. Your contact details, including role as well as the exact start and end dates of your employment, must be explicitly stated. Internships do not count as full-time professional experience.
