The Master Program in General Management (MBA) (full-time and part-time) at HHL

The MBA program offered by HHL - both as a full-time and part-time course - which is taught in English is considered one of the best independently developed programs of this kind in Germany. The proportion of international students in this HHL program constitutes approximately 80 percent, an outstanding figure in the global comparison of full-time MBA programs. Since its introduction in the year 2000, the 12- to 18-month full-time MBA program has focused on teaching management and leadership skills in a global context. This is supported by an innovative curriculum which is no longer structured in a purely functional manner but also follows an interdisciplinary approach in accordance with the challenges in management (Managing Investors, Managing Society, Managing Customers etc.). This cross-functional, stakeholder-oriented approach combines the contents of the individual courses and offers students a significantly added value. The practical relation is ensured by teaching content with practical relevance including case studies, a field project accompanying the program or an optional internship abroad. International Management is not only taught but also a part of everyday life at HHL thanks to the international background among students and professors. The international cross-linking of the program is represented by substantial cooperation with universities abroad. From Australia to Uruguay - HHL has more than 110 partner universities worldwide. The students have the opportunity to spend one term at one of these partner universities. The intensive and professional counseling for students from the initial contact to the alumni network must be emphasized. A Careers Service accompanies students from the day they are admitted to the program until the successful job application. http://www.hhl.de/mba or http://www.hhl.de/part-time-mba
