Master Full-time study Berlin Without NC

In our globally networked economy, innovations are increasingly determining competition and therefore also the success of companies. Internationalization and globalization mean that the pressure to innovate is not only affecting global players, but increasingly also SMEs. Future generations of managers will therefore be faced with the challenge of keeping their companies competitive with market-creating innovations and efficiency-enhancing strategies. Only in this way can Germany's economic engine "Mittelstand" with its high number of successful global market leaders and the "Made in Germany" seal of quality remain successful.

Course Content

What you can expect during your studies

Traditional German production companies find themselves in a highly competitive market. Through innovation, however, company leaders can gain a decisive competitive advantage and operate successfully on the international market. This requires personalities with assertiveness, vision and entrepreneurial spirit, who can operate in an international environment with business know-how and a flair for innovation. The MBA course in Innovation & Leadership combines the areas of "General Management", "Leadership" and "Innovation Management" and interlinks the major challenges of globalization, the pressure to innovate and leadership qualities. Some of the course content is taught in English to ensure internationality. A special highlight of the course is the two-week excursion abroad to New York or another innovation hotspot, where international management is brought to life.

Your prospects after graduation

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) Innovation & Leadership qualifies you in the two areas of "Innovation Management" and "General Management" and prepares you perfectly for a position in top management.

Depending on their leadership style, they are responsible, among other things, for exploiting the innovation potential of their team members.

Corporate management
Strategic corporate development
Export or import trade
Procurement or sales management
Management of foreign subsidiaries or sales companies of German companies
Personnel management and intercultural leadership
Service providers, such as agencies or consulting firms
