Profile
The Berlin School of Economics and Law (HWR Berlin) has been running this MBA programme since 1992 in conjunction with our cooperation partner, the Anglia Ruskin University, based in Cambridge and Chelmsford. Building on our many years of experience, the MBA programme was designed to enable the students to obtain a Masters degree from both Anglia Ruskin and the Berlin School of Economics and Law (HWR Berlin).
Nonetheless, it would hardly be credible to award students, even those in full-time employment, a Master's degree from a British university without them having experienced the academic environment there ‑ and so the programme not only includes courses by Anglia Ruskin lecturers in Berlin but also study visits to England.
The MBA General Management - Dual Award builds on the knowledge acquired during the students´ first degree ‑ which need not have been specifically in Economics or related disciplines. The diversity of the MBA students' academic backgrounds are an enrichment to the discussions, helping to think outside of specific subject boxes and across national boundaries ‑ a tendency further encouraged by the participants having, as a rule, at least two years practical business experience. This MBA programme aims to disseminate the specific knowledge and expertise needed for executive management tasks at the start of the new millennium and encourage the international perspectives now so crucial in the world of work. The future MBA graduates on this programme are committed to acquiring and expanding their business, language and social skills for executive management tasks in internationally active companies; and to ensure this commitment is properly documented, regular attendance and active participation is required for all courses.
The programme is divided into two academic years, each with three trimesters, and comprises a total of 20 modules.
The MBA courses are held in small study groups (max. 25 students) and include case studies, group work, discussions and presentations. The language of instruction is German and English.
In the final phase, students prepare their MBA dissertation. The dissertation is both tutored and evaluated by Anglia Ruskin.
