How to easily upgrade your leadership skills in a forty-hour workweek

Working a full-time position while improving one’s academic management skills – for many ambitious individuals, this sounds ideal. But how do you manage to find enough time for both?

Even though combining a full-time job with further education might seem hard work at first, it is manageable without compromising either side. There is a way to implement an additional degree into a forty-hour workweek and the TUM School of Management has cast it into shape: The modular structure of the part-time Executive MBA programs enable the balance between professional and private lives with a flexible study program.

Through its part-time Executive MBA programs, TUM School of Management offers the solution for full-time working professionals who want to level up their skills in management without taking a break in their daily businesses. The Executive MBAs are divided into modules that often take place on a 2-day to a 6-day format, making it easier for the students to schedule, plan and prepare their workload ahead so that they can fully concentrate on their studies during the modules. After each module, the participants can immediately apply the learnings and tools acquired into the daily business. The Executive MBA portfolio is divided into three programs that combine cutting-edge research with profound practical industry expertise.

 

Executive MBA

The Executive MBA provides students with strategic expertise, challenges their personal development, strengthens their leadership skills and broadens their network in the industry. The program is targeted at experienced executives, professionals or managers and empowers them to become the next generation of responsible leaders. In six core modules, students learn the fundamentals of general management. The content can be customized so that participants can deepen their skills in elective modules according to their individual interests. A course on international management and intercultural collaboration sharpens the feel for global, professional collaborations, while continuous leadership and personal development units put participants themselves to the test. Another extra for travel enthusiasts: a study trip to an international partner university is part of the part-time program.

 

Executive MBA in Business & IT

Targeted at experienced IT- or technical experts, digital managers or executives, the Executive MBA in Business & IT links leadership and communication skills with the technology. The program focuses on digital transformation, entrepreneurship, business processes and technology, leadership, personal development, and IT security and privacy management. Moreover, it offers students the opportunity to study in two different countries at two Triple Crown accredited business schools: TUM School of Management and the University of St. Gallen. This part-time program offers the most flexible schedule. The program can be tailored to your individual needs and the modules can be completed in two to three years. In addition to the ten core modules, students benefit from a study trip to an international partner university and the possibility to network with numerous business partners and expert speakers from academia as well as the IT sector during the whole program.

 

Executive MBA in Innovation & Business Creation

The Executive MBA in Innovation & Business Creation is the right program for individuals that aim to learn how to identify business opportunities and drive innovation while strengthening their leadership skills. In six core modules, students learn the theoretical framework of management, which they can put into practice in two project modules. With guidance from business experts, they develop their own innovation or startup project. The program with great focus on practical exchange is organized in two to six day blocks and can be completed in four semesters. It is aimed at budding entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, corporate innovators and visionaries and offers unique learning opportunities, including a study trip to the University of Berkeley in the USA.

 

The possibility to combine further education studies with a full-time position is one of the key benefits that make TUM Executive MBAs outstanding. Get to know more about the part-time programs now!
