Course Overview
The MBA at Schiller International University is built around business subjects that cover finance, marketing, operations, management, human resources, business law and international business. The 12-month format allows students to complete 36 American credits, equal to 72 ECTS, through an accelerated study plan.
The program connects classroom learning with business simulations, consulting projects, company visits, entrepreneurship activities and sessions led by business professionals. Students can study at four international campuses and transfer between them during their studies, subject to availability.
Schiller has operated in international education for around 60 years and reports more than 20,000 alumni from more than 130 nationalities. Its MBA gives students access to a multinational student community and an international alumni network. The university's partnerships with companies such as EY, Airbus, SAP, IBM and Deloitte provide further opportunities for professional exposure.
An optional dual-degree route with the University of Roehampton gives eligible MBA students the opportunity to earn a second UK degree after completing the required additional thesis and academic requirements.
