Program Structure & Study Organization
The MBA Professional combines well-founded management knowledge with your professional practice. Over six semesters, you study part-time in a blended learning format consisting of online and in-person seminars, optionally in German or English. A practical project from your own field of activity accompanies you all the way to the MBA Thesis, allowing you to bring your professional experience directly into your studies.
Das Programm wird gemeinsam von SIBE, der Universität für Weiterbildung Krems (UWK) und der Alma Mater Europaea – European Center Herrenberg (AME ECH) gestaltet. Die UWK ist die titelvergebende Universität und verleiht den Abschluss Master of Business Administration (MBA). Die AME ECH bringt als Partnerinstitution insbesondere ihre Expertise in Innovations- und Leadership-Programmen sowie im Transfer von Wissenschaft in die Praxis ein.

Your experience. Your next level.
You have already proven that you master your job. With the MBA Professional, you will develop a broader management profile from this: you will learn not only to evaluate decisions from your functional perspective, but also to incorporate strategic, business administration, and entrepreneurial contexts. Exactly this expansion is intended to prepare you for tasks where, in addition to experience, management and leadership skills are required.
The program is therefore aimed in particular at experienced professionals, project managers, and aspiring leaders who want to take on more responsibility, participate more strongly in strategic decisions, or take the step into a management position. Under certain conditions, the program allows access via extensive professional experience, even if there is no university degree so far.
Your previous career path is not replaced in the process, but rather becomes the starting point for your further development. The experiences of our students and alumni show what next steps can arise from this.
