ESMT Berlin launches its Global Online MBA
The European School of Management and Technology, Berlin is the highest ranked business school in Germany and ranked in the Top 10 in Europe. ESMT offers master’s, MBA, and PhD programs, as well as executive education in Berlin and other locations around the world.
Now, the new ESMT Global Online MBA will be their first complete online program. The advantage to this program is that it consists of a unique modular format. Meaning, this program allows students to study at their own pace and as their time schedule permits. The students may complete the program in 24 months or take up to five years.
The best thing about this program?
This program places strong focus on social learning and interactions between participants and faculty. The core of this program is decision-making, analytics, and innovation .
One benefit of this program is that the ESMT Global Online MBA program includes multiple networking opportunities. As well as the ability to access online lectures and other study materials from anywhere around the world.
All enrolled ESMT Global Online MBA students can select elective courses from the Global Network for Advanced Management. To clarify, ESMTs' parters include, Yale, Oxford, IMD, IE, Fudan University, Lagos Business School, Skolkovo Moscow School of Management as well as 23 other schools.
How does it work?
Once the first module has been completed, the individual program modules are then selected and booked in any order. This offers a high degree of individualization. Most importantly, all courses are held online, and therefore, students are not required to travel or attend class on campus. ESMT Global Online MBA students are however, encouraged to attend the Berlin Experience Week halfway throughout the program.
Why ESMT?
According to Nich Barniville, Associate Dean of Degree Programs and Director of the EdTech Lab at ESMT, “If you compare the successful online MBA programs in the US with those in Europe, you realize that the US programs allow for much more flexibility.”
Barniville goes on to say, “We aim to fill the gap in Europe by creating a fully stackable online MBA program with global options and an opportunity to come to Berlin. Our students can book the individual modules and add-on packages at their convenience. This way, we give participants the chance to put together their very own program in the way that suits them best and charge them only for the program elements they need.”
How does it run?
The ESMT Global Online MBA runs on a customized learning platform called the “Hub”. This learning platform is the centre of the Future Of Management Alliance (FOME). This is an alliance of business schools which include Imperial, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, EDHEC, and the University of Melbourne.
These schools all share a unique vision that online learning should have the same transformational impact as the very best in-person courses. ESMT has been able to redefine, customize and digitize its degree and executive education program portfolios by tailoring the Hub.
How much does it cost?
The total tuition cost for the ESMT Global Online MBA is 25,000 euros. Unfortunately, this excludes optional add-ons which could include: in-person career consulting and an international learning expedition.
Who can apply?
Eligible candidates applying to the ESMT Global Online MBA need three years of professional experience.
