The Master Program in General Management (MBA) at HHL

In order to meet the individual requirements and career aspirations of its national and international students, HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management now offers a Fast Track option in addition to the Advanced Track version. While the Fast Track may be completed in a residential phase of 12 months followed by 3 months preparation time for the Master's thesis, the extended Advanced Track is set to last up to 21 months. The Fast Track program mainly addresses the needs of participants with five or more years of professional experience, allowing them to return to work after only one year of studying. The longer Advanced Track Program is an option best suited to junior executives with three to five years of professional experience and international students in particular. The benefits of the Advanced Track include a greater variety of electives, an optional term abroad, an internship and/or a German language course, which might be of particular interest to the international participants.

The MBA program offered by HHL, which is taught in English, is considered one of the best independently developed programs of this kind in Germany. The proportion of international students in this HHL program is approximately 80 percent, an outstanding figure in comparison to full-time MBA programs globally. Since its introduction in the year 2000, the full-time MBA program has focused on teaching management and leadership skills in a global context. This is supported by an innovative curriculum and 28 lecturers from seven different countries. They provide students with an insight into the latest scientific management approaches in a global context. The practical relation is ensured by teaching content with practical relevance including case studies, a field project accompanying the program or an optional internship abroad. International Management is not only taught but also integrated into everyday life at HHL thanks to the international background of the students and professors. The international cross-linking of the program is denoted by substantial cooperation with universities abroad. From Australia to the U.S. - HHL has more than 110 partner universities worldwide. The students have the opportunity to spend a term at one of these partner universities. The intensive and professional counseling for students from the initial contact to the alumni network must be emphasized. HHL's Career Service accompanies students from the day they are admitted to the program until the successful conclusion of a job search.
