MBA in International Management (Dual Award)
The Berlin MBA in International Management (Dual Award) is an advancement of the MBA General Management - Dual Award and will be conducted in cooperation with our partner university in Cambridge. Building on our many years of experience, the MBA programme was designed to enable the students to obtain a Master's degree from both Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge and the Berlin School of Economics and Law.
The Berlin MBA in International Management prepares for leadership or consulting roles in organisations which operate in an international context. Lectures are given in a part-time mode, so that people planning to study for a further qualification do not have to take a career break. In this way, the part-time programme is ideal for all those looking for a further qualification to help them advance their present careers, or wanting to acquire new management skills to re-direct their careers, or seeking to expand their expertise in dealing with new executive management tasks. Courses are taught in English and German at the IMB in Berlin and at our partner university the Anglia Ruskin University.
Structure
The study programme is divided into two academic years, starting in September. The courses are taught during blocked lectures and seminars, usually taking place with the following tuition hours: Thursday 6 - 9.15 pm, Friday/Saturday/Sunday 9 am - 5 pm (8 times). In addition there are four seven-day required attendance phases and two three-day study visits at our partner university in Cambridge. The courses also comprises modules at the Anglia Ruskin University. All modules together are worth a total of 90 credit points.
