2 Program Structure & Study Contents The MBA General Management is divided into three terms and time for the Master Thesis over a period of 24 months. The program covers topics from three major General Management modules: Business & Management Knowledge, Executive & Leadership Skills, and International Business Environment. In addition, you select two out of four elective courses, one in Flex- Term 2 and one in Flex-Term 3. This effective modular structure is the basis for a challenging yet flexible two-year program allowing for the completion of the MBA degree without having to put professional careers on hold. Two International Weeks at the end of Flex-Terms 2 and 3 offer further insights into European and Asian business environments and help enhance your international network. With their Master Thesis, MBA GM students demonstrate a profound understanding of current business topics and the ability to apply specific scientific methods to a real-world business situation.

3 Right Toolbox for Modern Leaders Global Strategy, Entrepreneurship & Innovation, Strategic Marketing or Financial & Managerial Accounting are just some of the many topics covered in the Business & Management Knowledge section. At the core of the education concept at MBS lies the imparting of knowledge on current business theory and practice by the use of modern teaching methods as well as the continuous transfer to real-world applications. Besides business knowledge, the section of Executive & Leadership Skills is the second pillar of the MBA GM program covering areas such as Social Competence and Self Competence. Only by including both hard knowledge and soft skills into its curriculum, the MBA GM provides you with a comprehensive toolbox that every modern leader should possess. International & Practical Munich, Milan, Singapore The International Business Environment section focuses on exploring international markets and their unique traits and trends as well as specific economies that are currently impacting global business. To top off the truly international MBS experience, the MBA GM is taught in English by a mix of international and German faculty, the student body of the program consists of approx. 50% non-german students and two International Weeks are fully integrated into the curriculum. The continuous practical application of knowledge and theories is the very essence of how education is approached at MBS. Therefore, case studies, business projects and real-world applications take up a big part of the MBA GM curriculum. The program is taught by highly-qualified lecturers with years of professional work experience and presented by guest speakers from high-impact organizations and industries.

Themed Internationalizing European Companies, the study visit at prestigious SDA Bocconi in Milan, Italy, focuses on topics such as global strategies and international competitiveness of European companies as well as Italy s role in the European Community. All SDA Bocconi lectures are supplemented with case studies and company visits to the likes of Inter Milan or Lamborghini. All seminars, workshops and company visits during the stay at Singapore Management University follow the main topic of Global Dynamics and New Growth Paradigms. An overview of Asian Pacific economics or a module on identifying business opportunities and spotting the effects of new technologies on businesses are only some of the topics covered during this International Week.
