Timeline & courses
The Part-time MBA program from ESMT Berlin is spread over two years, with 75% of the program completed online. Not only does this allow you to fit the program around your busy schedule or family commitments, but it also means you can start applying what you’ve learned to your current position, straight away.
For the other 25% of the program, you will join the class in Berlin for 13 in-person residencies and one other residency taking place in a different country.
Running from Thursday afternoon through to Saturday evening, the residency schedule means you only need to spend 28 days away from the office over the length of the program.
Below you can explore the curriculum and courses in more detail. Curriculum and course availability are subject to change at any time.
