MBA + M.A. -Two Degree Program (Master-Study in CSR, Sustainability, Ethics) - berufsbegleitend / berufsintegriert

The Two Degree Program – MBA/M.A.

The single Master’s Study Program can be combined with an MBA in General Management. Students who choose this innovative way of studying will not only finish their studies earlier, but will also be awarded two separate degrees. This combined program represents a benchmark for future management education as proposed by the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME). In addition, students in our international study programs have the opportunity to choose their format, concept, and country of study.

Example: Combined as a two-degree program, the MBA program (21 months) and the M.A. in Responsible Management (11 months) can be awarded with 120 ECTS in 26 instead of 32 months.
