ESMT Full-time MBA - Empowering Future Professionals

Our Full-time MBA program begins in January each year, and is composed of two main phases: Mastering Management and Taking the Lead.
During phase one, you gain a solid foundation in the fundamentals of management such as organizational behavior, corporate finance and marketing. At the end of the first six months you get the chance to discover new business environments during an international field project. Past field projects took our MBA participants to the USA, Russia, China, India and Mexico.

The second phase stresses the areas where future leaders must excel: innovation, entrepreneurship, governance and leadership.
An integrative part of "Taking the Lead" is the practice project, in which you work in a team on an assignment submitted by one of ESMT's partner organizations. The nature of the seven- week assignment is similar to that of a consulting project with the aim of proposing applicable recommendations to the company's management.
The practice project also serves as the background for your master's thesis. This master's thesis aims to test your ability to review an area of management studies, to synthesize the main theories and models, and to discuss their applicability. After a challenging but rewarding year, you receive your MBA degree in December.
