5 Reasons to Pursue a Part-Time MBA at HHL

The part-time MBA program at HHL has been designed especially for highly motivated individuals who hold a first degree in any discipline from a recognized university. Over the years, participants have come from diverse academic backgrounds such as medicine, engineering, natural sciences, law, and music. Many part-time MBA students start with little to no exposure to business administration, and that’s precisely where HHL’s program excels – providing foundational knowledge and advanced tools to elevate your career.

High Practical Relevance and Applicable Content

The part-time MBA at HHL allows you to continue working while applying the knowledge gained in class directly to your professional environment. The program begins with essential business courses, offering a strong foundation for those without a business background. In the second year, students customize their studies by selecting electives tailored to their career goals, such as innovation, finance, and strategy. Additionally, the curriculum includes new courses in data and change management in times of AI, addressing the latest industry challenges and trends.

Helen Stöhr, a graduate of the program, reflects on her experience:

“Enrolling in the part-time MBA program at HHL provided the bridge to the next chapter in my career and personal growth. The program offered a practice-oriented learning experience that helped me build entrepreneurial confidence and balance full-time work, family, and studies in the vibrant city of Leipzig.”

Leadership Skills and Personal Development

HHL’s diverse student body fosters rich discussions, offering insights from various industries and cultural perspectives. This diversity helps students approach workplace challenges with broader, more innovative thinking. Courses such as “Me as a Leader,” “New in a Leadership Role,” and “Authentic Leadership” empower students to grow in self-awareness, decision-making, and confidence.

Students often challenge each other in discussions, acting as sparring partners and creating a dynamic learning environment that pushes everyone to grow.

The program also includes an exciting Global Immersions Seminar, now held in South Africa instead of Boston, providing students with an enriching international experience that combines global insights with hands-on learning.
