Program
EPBS is providing its MBA program on the basis of the so-called “competency based education concept”. Students are developing knowledge, skills and competencies on a simultaneous (integrated) basis. This education concept is designed to fulfill the needs of the next generation executives and managers for whom a broad understanding of business, management and in-depth vision, are essential; ‘this concept distinguishes us from our competitors’.
By using a mixture of core and concentration modules, we ensure that our students are able to master the principles of business and management, while at the same time they are able to concentrate on an area of own interest. Upon fulfillment of the requirements they will be awarded an MBA degree with a concentration in:
1. Management
2. Marketing
3. Strategy, leadership and Entrepreneurship
Above all the EPBS MBA is a challenging, stimulating, enjoyable and a rich experience to all the individuals joining our Business School.
