International Options Header

ESMT has partnered with business schools worldwide to offer you, as a master's student, an enhanced global study experience that fosters the necessary aptitude and knowledge to successfully navigate careers in an international business landscape.

International exchange

After completing the core master's courses at ESMT in the spring of your first year, you may take your elective courses at a partner institution.

  • Master in Global Management students can choose from all MSc exchange destinations, as well as Charlottesville, USA under the Global Impact Program (GIP).
  • For students in the Master in Innovation and Entrepreneurship or Master in Analytics and Artificial Intelligence, available destinations will depend on the curriculum and term times of the partner school.
  • Depending on the exchange school, you may choose to shorten your internship period or take your specialization courses abroad. No additional tuition fees are required. You will also be able to access additional benefits from your exchange school, such as student activities, career service support and oncampus recruitment events.
  • Exchange partners and incoming exchange students can find more information about an exchange at ESMT on this dedicated webpage

Discover our newest exchange opportunity, the Global Impact Program

Enhance your MGM experience by joining the Global Impact Program (GIP), an exchange developed in partnership with the University of Virginia's McIntire School of Commerce.

Offered to MGM students in Year 2, this program brings together students from two top business schools—ESMT and UVA—in two economic powerhouses, USA and Germany.

The GIP goes beyond a traditional exchange, offering a curriculum focused in sustainability and social impact, and the opportunity to make meaningful connections on both sides of the Atlantic.

You'll study at UVA in Term 4 and return to Berlin with UVA students in Term 5 to work together on social impact projects that address real-world challenges that global organizations face.
