Career development
Join the business elite
The decision to embark on an EMBA demands careful consideration, because it will change your life. Employers regularly confirm the value of the Executive MBA in terms of improved performance and the acquisition of a broad and comprehensive knowledge of how an organisation works. The Executive MBA gives you a global view of business and its opportunities, extensive new and lucrative networks and real knowledge of how to lead and build teams of diverse individuals. Graduates are prepared for the challenges and responsibilities of senior management positions. That’s an impressive transition – and we help you to make it as part of the EMBA journey, with career advice from experienced career coaching professionals.
Unlock improved performance
The EMBA programme unlocks cutting-edge management and leadership ideas that are highly relevant to your professional life. You’ll put classroom learning into solid real-life practice during the In-Company Project. But you’ll also apply these ideas in your own job after the first week, improving your performance from the start.
Network with confidence
The welcome you’ll get from your new networks socially and professionally will give you confidence about making the most of your talents and competences. The University of Cologne’s Faculty of Management, Economics and Social Sciences is unrivalled in the number of directors of blue-chip and DAX-30 companies among its alumni. University of Cologne is rated second out of the top five German universities that have educated the majority of Germany’s business elite, according to a study in 2014 from Wirtschaftswoche, an authoritative German business magazine, which interviewed 540 HR managers.

"The fact that two leading European Business Schools are providing this EMBA was one of the major reasons I chose this particular programme. Furthermore, the PLD programme and the diverse, international surroundings will afford me new perspectives and ideas, enabling me to approach my future challenges in a more comprehensive way. My aim is to lead international teams, design new ideas and live life in the fast lane. The Cologne-Rotterdam EMBA provides me with the perfect education to fill such a role.”
Ahsan Ijaz Saeed, Cologne-Rotterdam EMBA 2018
"An important aspect for my decision to participate in this program is the good reputation and the international orientation of the Cologne-Rotterdam Executive MBA Program. This implicates a worldwide recognition of the universities and a good acknowledgement of the final graduation. Challenges and exciting questions during my projects drew my interest to work at the interface between innovation and management. I would like to combine more deeply administration and strategy development with my technical background. Here, the Executive MBA program will improve my management skills and open my mind for new ideas."
