The program starts each year in the spring and fall semester and includes six core modules and additional elective modules, which can be customized in different specialization fields as well as an on-going personal leadership development. Which further expertise and skills will I acquire? Within the framework of the program, participants get an overall picture of business processes. Apart from professors of TUM School of Management, experts and top-level executives complement the interdisciplinary and intercultural learning process. Hence, participants benefit from the involved universities' research strength and from the practical orientation due to the involved partners. The Personal and Leadership Development is a key element to support the program's goal to prepare the participants for extended leadership tasks in companies and organizations, as the participants are able to assess their leadership style through an individual leadership profile and receive individual support within the mentorship program with an experienced mentor. Additionally the participants work on their personal management behavior in small groups or individually and develop continuously during the exchange with our experts. The program includes an international experience to pre-selected destinations offering exciting opportunities to immerse in and gain a business perspective on other countries. An overview of the pre-selected destinations can be provided by the respective Program Manager.
