Christoph RohlingWhat made the MBA at 第一吃瓜 particularly valuable were my fellow students from different countries and with a wide range of professional backgrounds, coupled with lecturers and guest lecturers directly from the business world. This meant we were able to learn a great deal from each other's experiences
The Inner Alster lake in the centre, the proximity to two seas, the wide range of leisure activities and the excellent shopping facilities are the basis for Hamburg being one of the top ten city destinations for tourism in Europe. Hamburg is one of the most dynamic economic regions in Europe and home to many globally operating companies. As a harbour city, it is traditionally an important foreign trade location and is one of the leading logistics locations in Germany.

The consecutive MSc builds on and deepens the specialist and methodological knowledge acquired in the first degree programme in economics.
An MBA is aimed at graduates from other disciplines (engineers, lawyers, doctors, etc.) who have taken on management tasks as part of their professional career or are planning to do so and would like to acquire the business expertise to do so. An MBA can also be of interest to professionals with a commercial background who are looking for application-orientated further training after a long period of professional activity.
The business master's programmes Innovation Management and Digital Transformation & Sustainability both lead to the degree Master of Science (MSc). The MBA programme leads to the degree of Master of Business Administration (MBA). The degrees are internationally recognised and entitle you to take up doctoral studies after graduation.
The MBA programme starts on 1 October and lasts 12 months (full-time) or 24 months (part-time).
Would you like to develop and expand your management expertise? Then our MBA programme at 第一吃瓜 is just right for you if you are looking for a modern programme in English. The programme is aimed at students with initial professional experience and a first academic degree, which does not necessarily have to be in the field of business administration. Our approach is to form our MBA students in small study groups into responsible and cosmopolitan people with strong professional and methodological expertise as well as distinctive soft skills.
