international perspective, all the while refining your individual strengths. Studying in the MBA
programme at the Berlin Professional School offers you:

opportunities to focus on individual interests and needs via elective modules and to pursue
your own desired career goals

the dedicated Career Service and a strong network
The Berlin Part-Time MBA programme, taught in English, is the perfect combination of theory and
practice. It will set you on the direct path to furthering your leadership skills. The core modules in
the first study section lay the foundations of key management knowledge. All areas and exterior
interfaces of a company are dissected, while training you to orient your thinking around processes
and solutions at all times. The elective modules of the second part of study programme give you the
opportunity to apply yourself to specific tasks. Study trips in Europe or to the USA prepare you in a
specific and practical manner for the field of international management. You will learn about the
business frameworks, strategies and management tools of multinational corporations. In the
Transformation Management and Change module, you will help a company to deal with change
processes in a dynamic and agile manner or to actively initiate them, thus putting it ahead of the
competition. The Digital Business and Technology Management module will present you with
dynamically changing challenges and train your digital agility. In the Innovative Sustainability
module, you will learn how to embed sustainability aspects in innovation projects at our partner
university, Porto Business School. The Entrepreneurship and Innovation module familiarises you
with the innovation process of start-ups and corporates. A core element of this module is a practice-
based project with the Barton School of Business in Wichita, Kansas. Together with MBA students
from the USA, you will work in teams on the development of real solutions for the
internationalisation challenges of start-ups and SMEs.
From the teaching style to the lecturers, the MBA programme consistently focuses on practical,
hands-on experience. Corporate projects, case studies, current living case studies, job-based
project and group work, business simulations and presentations from corporate leaders of select
enterprises all form integral course components.
