Steinbeis University Berlin

Steinbeis University Berlin is one of the largest private universities in Germany. Founded in 1998 in Berlin, it obtained the German state recognition through the Government of Berlin. Steinbeis University offers exclusively post-graduate studies on bachelor, master and doctorate levels. All study programmes have a common foundation: the "project competence concept". Based on this concept, Steinbeis sets innovative national and international standards by transferring scientific know-how from the first day of study into practice.

The University is structured in eight different schools that form the university departments. IBR School of Executive Management is one of them. Each of these schools has its own faculty that is involved in teaching and research activities.

In addition, Steinbeis University draws back on a large pool of additional applied oriented research, which is conducted by more than 900 professors in 70 Steinbeis Transfer Institutes and 700 Steinbeis Transfer Centres in Germany and abroad.

IBR School of Executive Management

IBR School of Executive Management is the global business school at Steinbeis University Berlin. IBR Institute of International Business Relations offers the IBR Global MBA at the Business School.

With a faculty lecturing around the world, a faculty representing Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa and the Americas, IBR created a global business school, indeed. It is a school which is proud of the different nationalities and how these different nationalities contribute to our management education. It does not talk about visiting professors that would come and go whenever they are invited, but a very productive team of professors that are excited about developing innovative new programmes and implementing them as well.

With study locations in Europe (Germany, Hungary and Ukraine), Asia (China, India, and Israel), and Southern Africa (South Africa, Mozambique and Namibia), and student groups that are composed of different nationalities, IBR students automatically become members of a global learning community.

Management Education "MADE IN GERMANY"

Quality has always been at the heart of IBR. Analysing the roots of the success of the German economy, it becomes obvious that it is a highly educated work force that made this country exporter number one in the world. To keep this position over years in a country where production is one of the most expensive in the world was only possible due to quality in education, quality made in Germany.

In this tradition, IBR sought to develop and implement management education that would meet the highest criteria and associated standards, developed by German, Swiss and Austrian industries and employers' organisations. In 2005, IBR received a third accreditation through the Foundation of International Business Administration Accreditation (FIBAA) who, according their report, consider the concept of the IBR MBA programme not only an example for German business schools, but label it trend setting for the whole European MBA community.
