About the Program

We provide basic and advanced business knowledge, understanding and methodologies with an international focus in the fields of management, marketing, accounting, controlling, finance, human resource management and economics, along with quantitative methods (business mathematics and statistics), information systems and law. Communication skills training includes two foreign languages, intercultural competence, public speaking and negotiation techniques. Leadership skills and students' interpersonal skills are developed in curricular and extracurricular activities, as well as in team projects. The balance between theory and practice is ensured by one internship (preferably international), business projects, extensive research, and the business and leadership background of the professors. Last but not least, maintaining an international atmosphere is a key priority, which is ensured by our international student body; up to 50% of our students come from abroad. Professors and lecturers have an international business and personal background. Finally, guest lecturers from abroad are frequently invited. ESB Business School is accredited by AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Only five percent of all business schools worldwide bear the coveted AACSB seal of approval. ESB Business School is thus in the same league as top American universities such as Harvard Business School and the Yale School of Management. The AACSB is the largest accreditation organisation in the world with demanding quality requirements in relation to training and research at business schools.
