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.

My first Impressions of the Healthcare MBA and future expectations
Lika Kartozia
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.
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.

The value of commitment – my Part-time MBA experience without a Bachelor’s degree
Martin Will
I always expected applicants for an MBA to require at least a Bachelor’s degree to be able to pursue an MBA programme, but I was proven wrong. Until then, I had accomplished a vocational training as a paralegal and four years of work experience in an international law firm in Frankfurt.
I was always looking for insights from candidates with a non-traditional background, like myself. So, if you feel you have an atypical academic background and are thinking about applying to an MBA programme – my experience might be helpful to you.

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.

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.

The Part-time MBA: unique combination of theory and practice
Jascha Biedenkopf
The first semester being almost over, I can honestly say that the quality of the lectures has decidedly exceeded my expectations. Frankfurt School masters this balance between theory and practice in a unique way.
What stands out to me, is our lecturers’ ability to manage a highly heterogeneous class with different skill sets and varying areas of expertise. I assume I speak for almost everybody when I say that the online-only format makes it more difficult to deliver an interesting, exciting and interactive lecture.

From Colombia to Germany: Why I chose the Full-time MBA at FS
Maria Juliana Lopez
After working in a fast-paced multinational environment in Colombia, I reached important goals that generated change and added value to the organizations I worked for. However, I realized that the technical skills, corporate and institutional knowledge, and the business intuition I had, were not enough for the position I would like to have and dreamt of.
We recommend speaking to our recruitment team, current students and/or alumni for you to get a first-hand impression of what is expected of you as an MBA applicant and as a student. Also, you are welcome to visit our campus for a tour and personal conusultation.

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.

One might wonder, why a father of two infants, working a regular job during a pandemic would think to pursue his Part-time MBA. It was the most needed step mainly for my self-development with a particular focus. Pursuing this at a pandemic has been very beneficial to my personal situation so far.
Have you ever had a business idea that you feel is worth pursuing? Or maybe you are on your way up the corporate ladder and aim for higher goals? One way or the other, I am glad to share with you the learnings I had during the past months in the Executive MBA at Frankfurt School, which are helping me to shape my entrepreneurship project now.
