Durham Business School & EBS Universität Executive MBA

Two internationally renowned business schools, Durham University Business School in England and EBS Business School in Germany have joined forces to combine strengths and year-long experience in further education for executives to create an outstanding programme: the Durham EBS Executive MBA.

If you are a driven and motivated person, this programme is designed for you. It will take your learning to a higher level. No prolonged sabbatical is necessary. You can continue to work full-time and at the same time, you are building your managerial and leadership capabilities.

The 18 months programme is segmented into three semesters and nine basic modules, three elective modules, and a final strategic business project.

You start with your Strategic Business Project right away and continue with it throughout your studies. The culmination of your various new skills will be incorporated in the third semester in the final project. In the second semester a week-along additional, international elective is offered (additional E 1,000 fee). The third and final semester starts with one week at Durham University with the module „Boardroom Exercise“ where you experience an intensive management simulation.
