"I was looking for something really constructive, to fill in the void, for the much needed and long pending career break. The one year MBA program, in English, from EIABM, Saarland University was a perfect fit to have a me time, in quite and charming Saarbrücken, and get insight into various aspects of human behavior essential for venturing into higher management positions. The interaction with professors, from different parts of Germany and abroad, with international exposure and students from all around the world was truly an unforgettable experience. I was touched most by the Consumer Behavior and Sustainability courses. The Marketing course in Valencia, Spain was an icing on the cake."

“I finished my MBA in European Management at the Europa Institut two years ago. Since then, I’ve been working for a cooperative bank. At work, my main focus is financial regulation. A great deal of the regulation currently in place was initiated by Europen Institutions. Hence, having an idea about how European Institutions work in general and how decisions are made on the European level in particular provided me with the required background knowledge to live up to the tasks in my job. What's more, courses like strategic management, entrepreneurship and service management have taught me how to cope with a changing business environment. A proficiency that looms large in a financial economy marked by low and negative interest rates. But what I valued most about the MBA course was the great and uncomplicated support by the lecturers and staff of the Europa Institut. Whenever you've felt in need of aid -regardless of whether it was related to lecture or administrative issues - you could count on the MBA School. Finally, this MBA managed to give a deep insight into the international business community and how different cultures choose different paths to tackle the same problems. An experience for which I am really grateful.”

Interview with Christian Welsch

“I chose the MBA program from Saarland University at Europa Institüt MBA School because of its flexibility, international exposure and option of 1 year intensive duration course. The rich set of elective courses to choose combined with highly qualified professors and practical orientated teaching methods enriches the content of the programme. Each professor is knowledgeable, helpful, and an expert in their field. Their abilty to use real world examples gives the courses an edge over other MBA programmes in the market. I found the international faculty to be particularly engaging and welcoming in the exchange of ideas and thoughts. There are also 3 international courses in London, Switzerland and other growing economies really bring the transparency into different working cultures, international markets and regional nuances. The course itself is very multicultural and the students come from all over the world. The knowledge that I acquired through the academic year was not only by reading books and papers but also in relevant group discussions, regular presentations, case studies within a challenging environment where I could always find support from the teaching team. My time at Europa Institüt MBA college has helped my career grow - both personally and professionally. I have found that my education has prepared me exceptionally well to make me prepared for the Corporate world. Never once have I felt inadequate or unprepared. The program from day one to completion added an enormous value and impact on my career.“

“I recently graduated from the MBA programme in European Management at the Europa-Institut (2018-2020), which was an extraordinary experience! As a part-time student, the MBA program allowed for great flexibility while keeping its excellence level. It is a very demanding and challenging course, but “If it does not challenge you, It will not change you!“. The courses' high quality and broadness helped me see beyond the horizon and added to my scientific background a solid business mindset. The MBA at the Europa-Institut was the passport for landing into my first industry job, as Medical Science Liasion - a perfect combination of my scientific background and the business acumen acquired during the MBA studies.“
Cristiane de Souza Carvalho Wodarz

“For me as a part-time student I definitely valued the flexibility the program offers. The lectures were interesting and full of valuable information for everyday business life. I especially enjoyed the international courses which not only teach the theoretical knowledge of an MBA course but also come with the real life experience of other universities and some insights to international companies. The international group of students taking part in the MBA program also offer great learning opportunities from each other and add even more value to the program.“
Ivo Sonntag
Graduate, MBA European Management
“When selecting an MBA programme one considers several things, chief among them is: “quality of education”. The MBA programme of the Europa-Institut delivers excellent one! Top notch professors and staff. The selection of courses offered through the programme provides the basis for success of its students upon graduation. Key element throughout the programme is to challenge students, to bring them to explore their boundaries and venture past them, not only as individuals but also as a team. Team building is an integral part of the programme, however the Europa-Institut takes this a step further by having a culturally diverse student body. Here again challenging students not only with the task of solving factual problems but challenging them as individuals to work with other individuals from other cultural backgrounds. That not being enough the Europa-Institut packs three classes abroad into the programme. Simply incredible!! The range and reach of that the programme offers to its students and their development make this programme excellent.”

"For me the MBA in European Management was a great experience. Not only did it impart a truly European perspective to MBA, but it also it gave me friends for a lifetime. Without a doubt I can say the it helped pave the way of my career."
Kenneth Littlepage

“I have chosen the MBA in European Management as a complement to my Mechatronics degree and my expectations of the program have been fully met. In a compact but detailed form, the content was taught in a way that is essential in today's management positions, especially at the interfaces between management and technology. The possibility to complete the study program part-time enabled me to combine the study program very well with my tasks in my own company.“
Ralf Jung

“Being part of the MBA programme in European Management at the Europa-Institut was a rich, extraordinary experience. I joined the team as a part-time student to align my scientific background with my inclination toward business developments and I could not have hoped for a better match. With a variety of highly relevant subjects both in Germany and abroad, classes are demanding and challenging, allowing students to learn first-hand the complexities of real-world business practices. The quality and relevance of the courses have direct applications in the fields of Marketing, Finance, Human Resources, and Logistics, to name a few. All these qualities are coupled with an outstanding international team of colleagues and docents of diverse backgrounds that provide further cross-cultural and intellectual capabilities. Personally, the benefits of this MBA programme for my professional career were almost immediate and I have successfully transitioned into a competitive Business Consultant position. When looking for innovation and business acumen, the Europa-Institut is a centre for excellence.”
