Our Master’s programs: Five added values for companies and students
1. EXCLUSIVE JOB TALENT PLACEMENT FOR PRECISE MATCHING
Our partner SAPHIR, a specialized recruitment agency, brings talents and companies together according to individual requirements from the large talent and company pool. Individual advisors are on hand to help.
2. MORE THAN JUST A DEGREE FOR TALENTS AND EMPLOYER BRANDING
Talents obtain 1) a (premium) accredited Master of Science (M.Sc., 120 ECTS), 2) an MBA from our American partner university or a Brazilian partner university (depending on the program) and 3) certificates for project and skills development. This offers employers attractive entry and development opportunities.
3. RETURN ON EDUCATION: MEASURABLE PROJECT BENEFITS PROVEN PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
In addition to day-to-day business, talented individuals take on responsibility for transfer projects over a period of 24 months, while companies benefit continuously from impulses from science that are transferred into real project results.
4. FLEXIBLE AND CUSTOMIZABLE STUDY OPTIONS FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT MODELS
Flexible start dates, short seminar blocks, a hybrid study format, English-language seminars, optional studies abroad and in-depth personal development seminars offer maximum adaptation to (international) full-time employment and personal preferences. Talents and companies jointly define how employment will take place over the two years of the course (e.g. via employment or internship contract, with or without head count if applicable).
5. TWO YEARS OF SYSTEMATIC DEVELOPMENT OF COMPETENCIES, PERSONALITY AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
The implementation of at least three 360-degree feedback sessions, including skills and career development plans, provide holistic support for personal development. In addition to systematic project development, these are decisive criteria that promote entrepreneurial thinking and action and result in high start-up rates (11% of alumni have founded a company 3 years after graduation).

Teaching
The transfer of theory into practice is of central importance in the education of SIBE’s Master’s students, as this teaching concept ensures optimal preparation for corporate practice. Accordingly, when selecting lecturers, the faculty management ensures that both representatives from academia and representatives from practice are integrated into the curriculum. The contact persons of the faculty management also support the lecturers in organizational and didactic matters of the teaching activities and thus contribute to the implementation of the transfer concept.
