European Management (MBA)

The MBA programme is coordinated and run by the Economics Section at Saarland University's Europa-Institut. The programme can be studied either part time or full time. The courses are taught by university teaching staff or by international guest professors. The range of courses on offer is very broad and includes lectures covering such areas as 'Strategic Management', 'Economics and Finance' or 'European Regulations' and topics of major current relevance, such as 'Corporate Sustainability and Social Responsibility' or 'Marketing and Management in Foreign Countries'.

Many of the courses include practically relevant case studies that reveal and reflect authentic business challenges. Students therefore have the chance to become acquainted with real-world business scenarios and to appreciate the associated risks and opportunities. The MBA programme also trains soft skills  and organises visits to companies.

'The Europa-Institut combines the benefits of an established and high-quality MBA programme with the infrastructure and traditions of a major university. Being part of a cutting-edge MBA programme located on the Saarland University campus is both highly rewarding and a lot of fun.' (Christian Gansen, MBA, who graduated from the MBA programme in 'European Management').

Starting in October 2024, the MBA programme at Saarland University will introduce five elective courses in entrepreneurship, enabling students to tailor their focus within the programme. These additions aim to enhance the curriculum and meet the growing demand for expertise in entrepreneurship. The offerings include modules such as Marketing of Innovations, Prototyping and Agile Project Management, Business Model Development, Data Analytics Project and Entrepreneurial Management. This expansion reflects the institution's commitment to providing students with relevant and diverse learning opportunities, equipping them with skills vital for success in today's dynamic business landscape. On top of that, with the internationally renowned degree MBA European Management, all participants qualify for leading management positions on the international job market.

It is also possible to book individual courses as certified single events.
