History

ESMT Berlin was founded in 2002 by 25 leading multinational firms. The school's expertise focuses on the development of responsible leaders with a global focus on innovative management, analytics, and technology and is a state-accredited university. ESMT has a satellite campus in Berlin- Schöneberg and a branch office in Shanghai. The school has more than 8,000 alumni in chapters located worldwide and around 3,500 executives and managers participate in the ESMT Executive Development Programmes each year. The origins of the school lay in the founding companies wanting to break from the limited, German executive education which characterized the country's business schools and the desire for a style that was less American and more culturally complex. Former ESMT President, Lars-Hendrik Röller, noted in 2009 that the school is very interested in societal impact and students need to exhibit long-term, socially responsible leadership.


Programs

ESMT Berlin offers a full-time MBA, an executive MBA, a part-time MBA, a global online MBA, a master in management, a master in global management, a master in innovation and entrepreneurship, a master in analytics and artificial intelligence program, and several executive education courses. It also has a Ph.D. program. The full-time MBA is a 15 month, personalized program that starts in January each year. The MBA focuses on innovation, technology, managing big data, sustainable business development, entrepreneurship, and global strategic management. The Part-time Blended MBA in Business Innovation covers topics, such as customer centricity, entrepreneurial strategy and innovation, digital business, and agility. The program comprises 75% online MBA study and 25% in person over 14 weekends in either Berlin or Munich. The Berlin Global Online MBA is a 24-month program with the option to take up to five years to complete it at the student’s own pace. It targets professionals working full-time while providing the opportunity to gain knowledge, specifically on Analytics, Innovation and Leadership. Students choose add-ons to the scheduled courses, adding in personalized career coaching, or taking a global module either in Berlin, or a global week international field study. The Executive MBA integrates academic training with an Individual Leadership Development Itinerary, peer-to-peer and individual coaching, applied and evidence-based learning. All combine to give executives the knowledge and experience necessary to grow an organization with the sensitivity needed to manage and develop people effectively. The Master in Global Management lasts for 24 months and is designed to prepare students to employ theoretical knowledge developed in undergraduate work in an applied business or management setting. ESMT uses an integrative approach combining modern methods and theories with practice immersion – all with a global outlook. The Master in Innovation & Entrepreneurship is a 2 year program starting in September every year. The specialized curriculum is designed to help students identify the challenges and opportunities in today’s dynamic networked society, and to react to them by implementing business solutions. The curriculum focuses on innovation and entrepreneurial skills whilst at the same time supporting students on their personal innovation and creation journey. The new Master in Analytics & Artificial Intelligence is a 2 year program starting in September every year. Students learn to work with both quantitative skills and managerial vision to better understand how to create value through data driven solutions. Courses include Machine Learning Basics, Data Scraping & Processing, Predictive Analysis, and Risk Modeling. Students also take part in a targeted internship and additional finance courses.

(State Council) of the GDR, it represented the supreme institution of the East German state governance. From 2004 to 2005 the building underwent an extensive renovation supervised by the German architect HG Merz. The main foyer is accessible to the public and guided tours are available. From 1999 to 2001 the building served as the Federal Chancellery (Berlin) under former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder. Since its renovation, it has acted as a venue for seminars, lectures, conferences, and social events for academic institutions, government agencies, as well as groups and companies. The building received further improvements in 2017, with the remodelling of the third floor conducted to accommodate the significant increase in the number of students. This led to the creation of the new library, four seminar rooms, the ESMT research lab, eleven group study rooms and a student lounge.


Cologne

The school's former Cologne campus, Schloss Gracht, is a historic castle and grounds where the Metternich family lived for centuries. From 1968 it was the home of the Universitätsseminar der Wirtschaft (USW) which offered executive education courses. USW was later integrated into ESMT Berlin and became the site of ESMT's German-language executive education courses. After successfully integrating the courses into the main campus of ESMT in Berlin, Schloss Gracht was sold as of November 30, 2018. It will be converted into a stress and sports medicine centre.
