    Fiore Cappelletto
    Class of 2021
  • Access to knowledge and personal development are now more important than ever to ensure the success of a company. That is why I am happy to support any form of continuing education, also in our Alumni Association.

    Susanne Mader

  • Within this program, you get the chance to work with companies and work on your projects, so that you can actually apply the information you learned in the lectures, instead of just studying for exams and putting that information down on paper.

    Else Suutarinen
    Master in Management & Innovation graduate, TUM Track
  • The program provided an excellent environment to learn new methods how to consider unforeseeable changes in the competitive environment. I liked especially the opportunities to reflect the learning with practical examples, and the personal coaching for an own case.

    Dr.-Ing. Martin Haller
    MBA, Senior Director Strategic Projects, Infineon Technologies AG
  • The Executive MBA in Business & IT has given me the ability to approach problem-solving and decision-making from a leadership standpoint, teaching me the importance of asking the right questions and utilizing available information to make the right decisions.

    Emma van Holthe
    Class of 2024
  • Networking truly enhanced my Executive MBA experience by introducing me to fellow classmates with different backgrounds and languages. The diverse people you get to network with during your Executive MBA enriches the discussions inside as well as outside the class environment.

  • Previous approaches in the area of patient safety have been primarily characterized by reacting to errors in order to avoid them in the future. However, patient safety concerns much more than just avoiding errors and certain complications. Rather, patient safety must be understood as an inherent characteristic of teams and organizations.

    Prof. Dr. med. Rainer Haseneder
    Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Technical University of Munich
  • The exercises were very comprehensible and foolproof, just the way you should have them at the beginning.

    Former participant of the course
  • My motivation is to make an impact on how companies can position themselves disruptively and assert themselves in the future. My career has benefited extremely from this Executive MBA as I have gained different perspectives on strategic and operational issues and had the opportunity to take part in Dell’s female leadership program.

    Lisa Grundl
    Class of 2019
  • I would absolutely go for this program again! Many of the approaches and ideas were immediately useful in my corporate job. Before the Executive MBA, I thought of myself as an intrapreneur. Actually, I never had serious plans to found my own business. This seed was planted in Garching, and the plant is growing: What initially started as my final thesis topic within the program led to founding the medtech start-up Lab E GmbH.

    Carola Epple
    Class of 2018
  • Using timber construction meaningful and with a sense of proportion – we want to impart the sound specialist knowledge for this.

    Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Winter
    Chair of Timber Construction and Building Design, TUM
  • Timber construction has the potential to be reusable. We demonstrate which aspects of demountability are crucial for this – and how they can be integrated into design and planning strategies.

    Dr.-Ing. Sandra Schuster
    Architect, Director of TUM.wood
  • It is one of the best-organized MOOCs I have ever had. The instructors made a huge effort to provide material suitable for students from diverse backgrounds. There are required (core) videos suitable for everyone. The quizzes are not just testing your memorization skills (like other courses I had) but are testing your understanding and help you understand the material in-depth!

    Former participant of the course
  • The EMBA program has been extremely beneficial, especially in terms of working alongside other students to solve real-world business challenges related to corporate social responsibility and competitive strategy. This intense and inspiring experience has allowed for a great opportunity to test and practice ideas while also having fun.

    Mario Bott
    Class of 2024
  • During my 2nd semester of the Master in Management & Innovation, I worked with Schunk GmbH, which was my first experience working in a German company. At Schunk’s R&D lab, I chose the topic which was always close to my heart – automobiles and what the future of mobility would look like. And I learned more than that as I experienced what it is like to work the German way – the sheer will to innovate and the perseverance it takes to constantly be ahead.

    Ankit Chopda
    Graduate of the Master in Management & Innovation, TUM Track
  • SITE has not only given me a deeper understanding of the core elements of successful strategizing, but has also provided me with valuable concepts and tools that enable me to transfer this knowledge to my everyday professional life. In particular, I liked the combination of teaching and practice-oriented workshops.

    Dr. Anke Susanne Hoffmann
    Director Strategy & Digital Management Audio / Penguin Random House Verlagsgruppe GmbH
  • The covered topics were perfect for me as someone coming from another professional field. Exactly the right mix of praxis relevant information for the daily brewing process, but also with a solid foundation of science to help to truly understand the entire process. The lectures were all well prepared, very competent and engaged with great passion. The organization was perfect, as was the atmosphere during the course.
