Dancing into the Executive MBA

Jason Jacobs

What does dance have to do with business? They share a focus on negotiating relationships in pursuit of successful performance. Considering my background, I am not the typical candidate for an MBA programme. For the past 20 years, I have worked as a professional ballet, modern and contemporary dancer.

Praxisprojekt als Finale der Vertiefung Wirtschaftsinformatik – Teil 2 Lessons Learned
Luca Steingen
In einem Team von 22 Studierenden haben wir diese Aufgabe über knapp 1 Jahr hinweg zu der Anwendung „Correctly“ entwickelt. Viele von uns hatten im Praxisprojekt die Chance ihr gesammeltes Wissen aus den letzten 3 Jahren anzuwenden. Das hat uns alle in unserer professionellen Entwicklung vorangebracht.
Das Praxisprojekt ist ein eigenständiger Kurs innerhalb des Bachelor-Programms. Im Rahmen des Praxisprojekts können Soft-Skills erlernt und trainiert werden, die im Rahmen eines klassischen akademischen Kurses kaum in dieser praktischen Form zu vermitteln sind.

My Double Life as a Master Student and Investment Banker
Jan-Niklas Arens
Like many of my fellow students, I decided to work part-time during my Master of Finance. For me, the 3-day track model was one of the main reasons to study at Frankfurt School. Since the finance sector is highly concentrated and people know each other within the industry, you can start creating a professional business network separate from the network at Frankfurt School.
After ten years of work experience as a lawyer and then as a General Manager in the healthcare industry, I felt that the time was ripe to pursue my graduate business studies. I had a master’s degree in law, but I did not have academic knowledge in business administration.

How tough luck turned out to be the greatest choice of my professional life

Tim Ouwerkerk

To complement my solid engineering background with formal managerial skills my original plan was to get an MBA. I felt that I needed this in order to communicate effectively with my peers on level playing field. In my job, I was moving away from classic project management towards the controlling and financing side, and it became obvious that I am lacking some advanced skills in this subject.

Vom Bankfachwirt zum Quereinstieg in das Bachelor-Studium
Katharina Moderegger
Noch nicht mal das Bankfachwirt-Studium beendet, schon war für mich klar: Das Lernen ist für mich hier noch nicht zu Ende. Bereits im Februar, kurz nach den Prüfungen des 3. Semesters für den Bankfachwirt, hatte ich den Termin für das Assessment-Center für den Bachelor of Arts (Quereinstieg).
With our goal set in place, we started every day by attending lectures on topics such as: “How to win a pitch” and “PPT Strategies for Consultants”. We also attended guest lectures from McKinsey & Roland Berger Consultants.

Gesetz zur Stärkung der Finanzmarktintegrität: Die Nachwirkungen von Wirecard
Michelle Neumann
Nach dem Wirecard Vorfall wurde das FISG erarbeitet. Es enthält Maßnahmen, die zur Wiederherstellung und dauerhaften Stärkung des Vertrauens in den deutschen Finanzmarkt führen sollen. Für das Risikomanagement bedeutet das erheblich mehr Aufwand.
Die Erfolgsgeschichte von Stripe gilt als Weckruf für Zahlungsdienstleister und Banken, denn die Coronakrise beflügelte das Geschäftsmodell des US-amerikanischen FinTech enorm. Die Demokratisierung von Online-Zahlungen zeigt erneut auf, wie sich die Technologie von morgen schon heute auf uns auswirkt.

From off the court to the classroom: My MBA journey as a professional basketball player

Alissa Pierce

We owe it to ourselves and to our communities to make the best of the time we have been given. Looking back at my lifetime of basketball, I don’t remember most individual wins or losses. Rather, I see a body of work. Like my athletic career, I hope to look back on my next career as a constant bout against my own and the world’s comfort zones.

Why I decided to start an MBA during Corona time

Marie-Rose Wagner

I realized that it is always the right time to start huge projects and take big decisions. Starting a Part-time MBA in International Healthcare Management was one of the best decisions I ever made. I have an amazing work-life balance combining a full-time job, a family and student life.

How the Executive MBA challenges me to be better
Christina Rusnak
The process of active studying creates the effect of shaking and emotional uplift, which squeezes you out of the comfort zone, forcing you to analyze your lifestyle from different angles. The Executive MBA for me is a unique and has an inspiring atmosphere that students and professors build by themselves.
This council represents the foreign residents in Hessen, hence, it makes absolute sense especially for international students to take priority interest in it and vote. Vote on March 14th from 8AM to 6PM at your polling station.
