Location of Cologne Business School (CBS)

Promote your career and qualify yourself – in-service – with the MBA in International Business for top-management positions in the global field. Market internationalism and the increasing number and multifaceted tasks of managers are only two of the factors why businesses search for employees who are highly qualified all-rounders, with hands-on skills. Specialists and executives are in demand who are comprehensive strategists, flexible and result oriented and due to their language abilities and practical experience, also in the international field, can act successfully and confidently.

With regard to these requirements, the CBS, in cooperation with The Maastricht School of Management (MSM) has developed an Executive MBA programme with study phases in Germany, Holland and China. This programme is specially developed for managers with executive experience who want to improve their career chances without having to leave their positions and financial security. The MSM is one of the world’s largest management schools and can fall back on almost 25 years experience with MBA and Executive MBA programmes.

The accredited programme, among others from the Association of MBA (AMBA) imparts established knowledge in all the most important areas of business management disciplines, modern management methods and excellent language skills training. In a time frame of 24 months you can complete six nine-day modules in Cologne and Maastricht as well as two weeks in Shanghai, including plant visits.

Our many contacts to fellow students, lecturers, businesses and approximately 25.000 alumni from various branches and cultural circles will enlargen your interdisciplinary knowledge, promote your intercultural competency and make it possible for you to build up a stable international network of contacts. The solution strategies developed in team work can be used directly in your daily business life.
