Book your place

Earning a Global MBA degree opens up numerous career opportunities in various industries, such as finance, marketing, consulting, and international business. Graduates can pursue roles like international business manager, global marketing director, financial analyst, management consultant, and operations manager, among others.

The cost of a Global MBA in Germany can vary widely depending on the institution and programme specifics. On average, tuition fees for a Global MBA programme in Germany can range from €15,000 to €30,000 per year. Additional costs may include living expenses, study materials, and travel. The Global MBA offered by BSBI costs €14,850 for international students and €9,450 for EU students.

The Global MBA programme offers specialisations in entrepreneurship, project management, HR management, marketing management, health management, shipping and maritime, and sports management. Students have a range of pathways to choose from to get the most out of their careers by tailoring their studies and gaining the expertise they need to succeed in global business.

The primary difference between a Global MBA and a General MBA lies in their focus. A Global MBA emphasises international business practices, cross-cultural management, and global market dynamics, preparing students for careers in a global context. On the other hand, a General MBA provides a broader business education without a specific emphasis on international aspects.

Earning a second degree with a Global MBA will give you a competitive edge in the job market, making you best prepared for a management position at the international level. It also demonstrates a commitment to continuous learning and specialisation, which can lead to higher-level positions and increased earning potential in your chosen field.
