Training and Education
International experience is becoming ever more important now that we are living in a world-wide economy. The programmes listed here are broadly intended for two different groups. On one hand they are to assist German professionals to get to know markets abroad, to acquire additional expertise and linguistic skills and thereby to extend their own professional perspectives. On the other these programmes have been devised for specialists and managers from developing countries, from Central and Eastern Europe and the former states of the Soviet Union. The aim is to provide participants with the skills needed to take the lead professionally and socially at home in their own countries and thus to contribute to the sustainable development of their nations.
From 10 November 2013 it is possible to apply for the ASA-Programme.
This year, ESCP Europe Business School Berlin awards for the first time partial scholarships specifically for female professionals and managers, employees of non-profit organizations and participants from Central and Eastern Europe. The partial scholarships are each worth 6,500 euros and will be awarded to participants of the General Management Programme.The General Management Programme is aimed at executives of all disciplines who would like to build the basics of state-of-the-art management know-how in order to qualify for future executive functions and managerial positions. The duration of the programme – including a kick-off day and a graduation ceremony – is only 10 months. It can easily be combined with full-time employment, as the modules take place in Berlin over three weeks only. In order to develop soft skills and intercultural competences, participants in Berlin, Madrid and London may join the optional module on “Problem Solving & Decision Making” at the ESCP Europe London Campus.
