Master Programme East Asian Management

The "East Asian Management" MBA is an exciting and new initiative from one of the oldest Graduate Centers in Germany.

The program aims to provide students with practice-oriented knowledge for the solution of management tasks in international enterprises and organizations.

The curriculum consists of a well-balanced mixture of business and cross-cultural classes, integrating communication skills as well as professional management knowhow.

The program is taught entirely in English, inviting both German and international students who want to further develop their international career.

Small classes allow for individual tutoring and counseling of each student. The program is staffed with highly qualified people with an international background, including both experienced practitioners as well as committed academics.

Target audience

Target Group
The program addresses persons with a non-economic first-degree, e.g. in engineering, social or natural sciences and at least two years of professional work experience.

It will enable participants to fulfil management functions in an international - in particular Asian - context. Since the program is primarily for persons with no educational background in management sciences, teaching aims to equip students with management skills and methodical as well as social competencies. It thus qualifies them for further career steps on higher management levels at the interface between Europe/Germany and the Asian markets.

Career Opportunities
The main field of occupation for successful graduates is at the interface between Germany and/or Europe and the Asian markets. Graduates will primarily work in jobs where technical expertise and management competency with a focus on Asia are necessary. This could be the supervision of procurement, production, sales or customer service of German/European enterprises with business activities in Asia or within joint ventures in Asia itself.

Tasks can also evolve in product development and quality management with and/or for Asian customers and suppliers. As a graduate, you will also be part of a network of successful graduates holding key management and leadership positions world-wide.
