Content

What is the (part-time) MBA programme about?

Successful managers understand how companies work: Which process steps depend on each other? What effect do decisions made in marketing or logistics have on production, controlling or the HR department? How do I implement change within a company?

As a student in our MBA programme, you will be confronted with with a wide range of business management issues. You will use your existing professional experience to debate with your fellow students and lecturers and develop new perspectives. Over the course of four semesters, you will acquire a broad foundation of management know-how.

The following modules form the core of your Master's degree, offering you a deeper understanding of management:

  • Management Fundamentals & Organisation
  • Economics
  • Business and Management Techniques
  • Accounting
  • Business and Labour Law
  • Human Resource Management and Leadership
  • Corporate Finance and Taxes
  • Marketing and Sales
  • Process and Logistics Management
  • International Economics
  • International Finance and Accounting
  • Business Management - Project and Cultural Management

PARTICULARITIES

Strengths of the degree programme

Quality meets experience

The first university in the region to offer an MBA, the programme has proved a consistent success since its launch in 2004. Unlike many other MBA programmes, our degree is aimed exclusively at graduates of non-business degrees – a concept which has worked well for the last 18 years!

Evidence-based academia meets professional practice

The team of lecturers in the MBA consists of professors from the Business Faculty with extensive practical experience, complemented by proven experts from the field.

Your success in the foreground

Small groups allow for active discussions with other students and your lecturers. Virtual lectures on Fridays make it easier to combine work, studying and private life, and are also recorded for later reference. In-person lectures on Saturdays allow students the opportunity to work closely together on specific problems, case studies, projects and business games.

Career opportunities

What will an MBA do for your career?

A broad foundation of management know-how: Take on leadership responsibility with a sound knowledge base and a highly-respected qualification.

  • Whether you see your future career as a line manager, in project management or in setting up your own business, you've come to the right place!

    Our MBA programme has a generalist orientation and is neither industry nor function-specific, nor does it focus exclusively on individual sub-areas of business administration.


Structure and modules

How is the degree programme structured?

The timetable is fixed well in advance and the programme is designed to be completed alongside full-time employment and family commitments (compact lecture times, holidays are lecture-free, exams are spread over the semester). You can find all the details here:

  • The first semester is limited to one block week in the second half of September and continues seamlessly into the second semester. The timetable for the entire programme is fixed from the beginning – this allows you plan your time! The following modules await you:

    • Management Fundamentals & Organisation
    • Economics
    • Business and Labour Law
    • Accounting
    • Business and Management Techniques

  • After one block week in each of these semesters, you can look forward to the following content:

    • Human Resource Management and Leadership 
    • Corporate Finance and Taxes
    • Marketing and Sales
    • Process and Logistics Management
    • International Economics
    • Business Management
    • International Finance and Accounting
    • Project and Cultural Management

  • In your fifth semester, you will work on a business problem for your Master's thesis - ideally from your own professional field.


Studies and organisational matters

So that everything runs smoothly

Who can apply? When do lectures and exams take place? You can find answers to these questions here - so that everything runs smoothly.

  • All face-to-face lectures take place on the OTH Regensburg campus. The entire infrastructure of the university is available to you during your studies (IT equipment, library, student house, canteen, university sports, etc.). You are regularly enrolled, like all other students.

    The courses are concentrated over 25 months (4 semesters). Classes are held on Fridays (15.00 pm - 19.45 pm), Saturdays (8.00 am - 15.15 pm) and in the form of a full-time week (Monday - Friday) before the start of each semester. The lectures on Fridays take place online and some of them are also recorded for you. This enables you to achieve an even better balance between your studies, work and private life. There are usually no lectures in the summer holidays. The last semester is reserved for the master's thesis.


  • The degree programme is accredited and bears the seal of the Accreditation Council.


  • Admission requirements for the MBA degree programme are:

    • A successfully completed non-business degree (Bachelor, Diploma, Master) at a German university, or a comparable degree from a foreign university.
    • Proof of professional experience, not necessarily in business administration. As a rule, the professional experience must come after the first successfully completed university degree and must be fulfilled by the beginning of the MBA programme.
    • Proof of English language skills. Proof of all admission requirements must be submitted with the application. 

    The responsible decision-making body with regards to admission is the Master's Commission for the MBA programme.
