What will I learn doing a MBA?

The MBA, the well-known acronym, stands for much more than a degree in business. The MBA is a post-graduate programme designed to prepare professionals to deal with all aspects of the complex and competitive world of business today. What is taught in an MBA programme?

Contrary to the specialised Masters, the MBA is a generic degree. The basis of all MBA programmes is the core content of corporate service projects which are taught to guarantee that essential basic management knowledge is known before students select additional subjects (electives). Competence consists of the core subjects:

• Human Resources
• Finance
• Accounting
• Economics
• Marketing
• Strategy
• Information Management and Technology
• Ethics
• Company Structure and Organisational Management
• Law

Electives
In addition to compulsory subjects, MBA programmes offer electives. The idea is that through elective courses, students may adapt the MBA to their practical learning needs. The student who is interested in a career in finance may focus on electives in the field of finance etc. There is no start up menu of electives - that depends on each MBA programme. The most typical electives are:

• Entrepreneurship
• E-Commerce & Technology
• Consulting
• General Management
• Logistics
• Leadership
• Corporate Strategy
• Collective Bargaining
• Business Ethics
• Economic and Financial Affairs
• Small Business Management
• Management of Human Resources in Small Business
• Administration and Ecology
