What our Alumni say

  • This Executive MBA has given me a broader overview of business practice, helped me in being more confident in my current role, and inspired me to move on to the next. The program fosters a high standard of learning by introducing new perspectives and encouraging a can-do attitude.

  • Theory and practice turned out to be very well-connected, especially during the team project. It changed the way I communicate with my customers today and how I listen to market needs between the lines. Other big learnings came from my peers. With a broad variety of industrial backgrounds everyone brought in a different practical view on the topics discussed.

    Andreas Heeg
    Class of 2021
  • I chose the CPEA program (VC Track) in order to deepen my knowledge in VC and benefit from the knowledge of industry experts as well as meeting peers. After graduating in 2024 I can say that the CPEA did not disappoint! It is a great program to get practical and academic insights into PE & VC from industry experts and great speakers. It’s also a fantastic opportunity to connect with peers, network and work on realistic, real world investment cases together. I really benefited from the practical experiences the speakers and experts shared with us as well as from the network I built during the program. I highly recommend the program to anyone working in VC or PE who wants to further improve their skills/ knowledge and enhance their network to peers.

  • The TUM Institute for LifeLong Learning’s “Digital Twins for Cities” course was a highlight of 2023. The hybrid approach allows for effective knowledge transfer and valuable networking in equal measure. The quality of the speakers and participants was excellent. I was able to take a lot of knowledge and inspiration with me into my everyday professional life. The only open question is which course I will attend at TUM LLL 2024.

  • Quantum technologies offer great opportunities but are still limited by certain physical and technical constraints. Thus, understanding quantum technologies is crucial to classify the current status and distinguish real potential from hype.

  • The most valuable gains from the program came from its rich program content delivered by outstanding professors and guest speakers. Strategic business management, innovation, financials, business ethics and personal development are now key in my role as a leader and coach. The mentoring program aspect of the Executive MBA has been a great addition to sharpen the strategic aspects of my professional and personal life.

    Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Winter

  • A great mix of really relevant theory and hands-on practice – real exchange with lecturers and participants about actual situations. Especially the change management content hit home – in a world that’s moving faster than ever, that’s just incredibly relevant. I took several coaching and leadership approaches back into my daily work with our portfolio companies and catch myself applying and reflecting on them regularly. Would absolutely recommend it.

The lectures were of high-quality standard and there was much thought put into the course structure. I especially liked the interactive editor and the progress overview. Lorenz is a fantastic coach.

    Previous learner
  • One of the great things about the program is you can exchange idea with experts at eye level. Whether in short inspirational lectures or half-day course modules, there is always a great discussion based on vivid, real-life examples. This is a kind of emotional learning, not a purely abstract transfer of knowledge, as you know it from other training courses.

  • 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. This program allowed me to broaden my network and tap into the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Munich and make valuable connections.
