Overview
The Executive MBA (EMBA) imparts evidence-based general management education with a focus on personal development and leadership to experienced executives, professionals, or managers. The program starts each year in the spring and fall semester and includes six core modules and additional elective modules, which can be customized in different specialization fields as well as an on-going personal leadership development.
One further module will take place at our partner university in China (Tsinghua University Beijing). Knowledge transfer with a practical orientation is enabled by a mix of lectures, examples, case studies, and work in small groups. The Executive MBA participants take part in exclusive evening sessions and fireside chats, and get to know leading business representatives.
Which further expertise and skills will I acquire?
Within the framework of the program, participants get an overall picture of business processes. Apart from professors of TUM School of Management, experts and top-level executives complement the interdisciplinary and intercultural learning process. Hence, participants benefit from the involved universities' research strength and from the practical orientation due to the involved partners.
The Personal and Leadership Development is a key element to support the program's goal to prepare the participants for extended leadership tasks in companies and organizations, as the participants are able to assess their leadership style through an individual leadership profile and receive individual support within the mentorship program with an experienced mentor. Additionally the participants work on their personal management behavior in small groups or individually and develop continuously during the exchange with our experts.
The program implies a study visit at a prestigious top-university: The stay at Tsinghua University in Beijing is all about 'Doing Business in China'. Through various teaching modules and company visits, participants can not only acquire solid knowledge, but also build professional relationships in Asia.

Admissions
Selection takes place through an aptitude assessment procedure. The aptitude assessment is a two-part procedure after the submission of an official application to a program. In this procedure, the TUM school determines whether you meet the specific requirements for its Master’s degree program.
In the initial stages, the grades you obtained during your bachelor's program, as well as your written documents, will be evaluated using a point system. Depending on the amount of points accumulated, applicants are either immediately admitted, rejected, or invited to an admissions interview.
