The MEB offers the opportunity to learn about business reality and professional behaviour in an international context. Students receive a comprehensive education in the major fields of management, such as marketing, finance, accounting and strategy. They work in groups from different educational backgrounds, fostering their personal development at the same time.
The MEB combines theory and practice, with integral parts of the programme being live company projects, during which teams of students are briefed by a corporate client and provide solutions and proposals therein; and a professional internship or period of direct employment, where students work for a minimum of 12 weeks within a company.

At the heart of the programme are both live company projects and the internship requirement.
For their company projects, multinational teams of students are hired by a client company to provide solutions to some of the real issues they face. During their company internship, students work in a management training role within the client company. Internships must last a minimum of 12 weeks and are worth 10 ECTS credits.It is also possible to complete this requirement in a permanent position i.e. direct employment.
