Mein Weg zu einem professionelleren Erfahrungsschatz

Matthias Schmidt

Der Wunsch einen Master zu studieren, und das am liebsten neben dem Beruf, ist lange in mir gereift. Neben dem grundsätzlichen Entschluss stand aber immer auch die Frage im Raum: Welcher Master ist der Richtige für mich? Der MCPR vereint für mich weiche und harte Faktoren.

Non-Performing Loan Management – Europe at a crossroad
Dr. Alexander Lehmann
Restructuring professionals should be equipped with the necessary skills for the upcoming recovery. All actors in this field will need to combine financial acumen with responsible business practices. Loan sales and securitisations for instance are innovative tools that will present new opportunities for lenders, investors, and their servicers.

My opportunity to grow in uncertain times
Julie Michaud-Bernlochner
The Executive MBA introduced me to topics that I had never had a chance to learn, and industries from other students where I could see parallels and connections. This started a self-reflection process in me since the first week in class. Then quarantine made me more introspective, evaluating what is truly important and seeing how my current path was or was not aligned.
Since 2017, the University of Basel has been hosting an annual challenge where students are once again “lured” out of the lecture halls, or even by the pending COVID-19 chaos, from their desks at home and can prove their technical, business development and presentation skills. For this year, a remote only event has been created for the first time.

Why we shouldn’t stop learning after we graduate

Dr. Julia Knobbe

Learning new things accompanies us throughout our lives. And it is becoming increasingly important in times of rapid and permanent change. In fewer and fewer professions today, a single course of study or one-off training is sufficient to pursue it over several years. In addition, there are many other reasons for lifelong learning.

Mindfulness in the Executive MBA – becoming aware of your personal growth
Daniel Hambrock
Mindfulness practise trains the ability to focus cognitive capacity on exactly one thing at a time and the results are a way deeper reflection of topics ahead. During the Executive MBA, this was massively supportive in almost every managerial issue we treated.
Frankfurt has provided me with many opportunities to connect with leading banks and get insights into the industry. When it comes to networking, a critical element of the experience, Frankfurt School has an excellent relationship with the corporate world and organises workshops with well-known institutions on a regular basis.

Banks and Climate Risk Exposure – why do banks care about climate risk?
Alexandra Kinywamaghana
Climate-related risks threaten financial stability and banks can play a crucial role in addressing the impact of these risks to ensure a climate-resilient financial system. An emerging series of studies uses stress tests to examine banks portfolio-level exposure to transition risk. Central banks and prudential regulators have either launched stress tests or have it as a priority.
As part of society, we are cautious to express our true colours. We disguise ourselves in order to meet the rules of social normativity. The real shame in this is that by being cautious, we not only put obstacles in our own way and cause our own unhappiness, but also prevent those around us, colleagues, friends, and family, from getting to know the real us.

From a Frankfurt School student to a Corporate Development Director

Marc Sanabras Garrido

First, I wanted to study at a top business school in Europe, where not only I would learn from experienced professors, but also from excellent classmates within an international environment. Second, the 3-day-model of the MiM was key for me.

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.

The joys and challenges of a researcher in sustainable finance
Menglu Neupert-Zhuang
There are two things I like very much. One is writing; the other is solving problems. These two traits make me realise at an early stage that doing research gives me satisfaction. In research, I can dwell on a narrowed-down problem for a long time digging its root out, and I also need to write up the findings neatly in order to communicate them well.
I realised I was working on just a part of the problem but lacked the holistic understanding of business that would have enabled me to help customers at a greater scale. This is when the idea of doing an MBA occurred. “An MBA during the pandemic?” they asked. Everyone advised me to defer. Instead, I went ahead with the decision to pursue my Full-time MBA at FS and never looked back.
