Open Programs

Alongside the key topics of finance, digital transformation and pharma, professionals can put together their individual training portfolio from a comprehensive range of open programs in a modular system - for professional training in certain areas of knowledge or simply to refresh the knowledge they have already acquired.

There are two main things which make returning for Open Programs such a valuable and worthwhile experience. The first is being back on campus – meeting the current students, returning to campus again, the whole experience was just so pleasant. The second is the level of quality in the courses – the faculty teaching are absolute experts. I joined the M&A course with Prof. Dr. Volker Brühl, and I couldn’t believe how good the sessions were. Even though I already work in M&A and have years of experience, the course was so valuable to me. The industry experience of the faculty makes their content so rich, while the teaching style is engaging and even entertaining – a refreshing change to a typical lecture at a German University. I’ve even sent some of my employees to GBS for Open Program courses since.
