MBA Programs in the Context of Management Development

Qualification of High Potentials and the Loyalty Relationship to their Companies

Well-trained and qualified executives and managers are the greatest asset of any company and a significant factor for long-term corporate success. A strategically targeted management development can therefore become a decisive competitive advantage for companies and is thus of special significance. The GISMA Business School provides highly focused support in this field to companies with its three differently structured MBA programs. While the programs are nearly identical with regard to their content and methodology, and the professors as well as the quality of the lecturing and training are almost identical, the essential difference is found in the format. Thus both our extra-occupational MBA programs give your staff the opportunity to acquire the MBA title while following their occupation, while the participants of our full-time program concentrate on their studies exclusively over eleven months. All the MBA programs are internationally accredited.

Weekend MBA

Send your qualified young professional potentials to our two-year weekend program which we have developed in co-operation with the Leibniz University Hanover. The structure of the study program - the lectures take place on 18 weekends (Friday and Saturday) per year and are supplemented by individual learning phases - enables participants to obtain an excellent management training parallel to their job. The new knowledge can be immediately transferred to daily work and in this way it flows directly into the company. The studies are done in English and the qualification awarded being the MBA of the Leibniz University Hanover.

Executive MBA

No doubt your company has some experienced managers available that have the potential to move up into the top management or executive board. It is precisely these high performers with an average of more than ten years of professional and leadership experience that gain state-of-the art management knowledge from our  Executive MBA Program. We design the AACSB accredited program together with three world-wide acknowledged business schools from USA, the Netherlands and Hungary so that the international orientation of the studies is particularly high. The study program lasts 22 months and is divided into six 14-day attendance periods that take place round the world. The graduates of this program receive the MBA qualification of both Purdue University and Leibniz University Hanover. To inform yourself about details, please click here.

Full-time MBA

Our full-time MBA Program is AACSB accredited and as a general management study program combines an international American MBA program with a German-European practical frame of reference. This program offers the same basic syllabus as a comparable two-year program but in fact lasts only eleven months - a clear advantage for the participants because the career break is quite brief. As our students originate from the most diverse countries, intercultural competencies are not only communicated but also experienced in real life. Through the cooperation with the state-approved Leibniz University Hanover the graduates of the GISMA Business School receive both a US American and also a German MBA qualification.
