Frankfurt School EMBA Targeting Wider Market: MBA News

Mannheim Business School has two joint executive MBA programs run in conjunction with either China’s Tongji University's School of Economics and Management (SEM) or France’s ESSEC Business School. Elsewhere, WHU Otto Beisheim School of Management and European Business School (EBS) have joined forces with the Kellogg School of Management and Durham University Business School respectively.

Leipzig Graduate School of Management operates a single-school EMBA in English, but one that focuses on international exposure and involves studying at partner institutions, including Business School São Paulo, in four countries other than Germany.

Frankfurt School of Finance & Management is not without its own international links, however. It has a second EMBA program that was founded in 2013 with the aim of providing training for executives in Central Africa, and one that is offered in collaboration with L’Université Protestante au Congo in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Back in Germany, the EMBA’s language shift has also provided Frankfurt School of Finance & Management with an opportunity to make changes to the executive MBA program’s 18-month timetable – which will now revolve around Friday afternoon and weekend classes on top of three full-week blocks.  

A video showcasing life at the school, and in the city of Frankfurt as a whole, through the use of Pharrell Williams’ song ‘Happy’, meanwhile, has just made a top 10 list celebrating YouTube’s 10th anniversary in the German state of Hesse.
