2 Munich Business School The Munich MBA Program Structure & Study Contents The MBA International Management is divided into three terms over a period of 15 months. Each term covers topics from the three major modules Business & Management Knowledge, Executive & Leadership Skills, and International Business Environment. This effective modular structure is the basis for a challenging and compact MBA program which allows its completion in less than one and a half years thus minimizing the time you spend putting your professional career on hold. You receive in-class instruction on business topics and executive skills during Terms 1 and 2. In addition, you choose two Elective Courses and one International Focus.
