The Goethe MBA Digital Transformation | Data Science | Sustainability offers a unique learning experience combining online flexibility and on-campus engagement. We've reimagined the traditional classroom to allow you to study and prepare from home while providing dynamic in-person campus interactions. Our flipped classroom approach allows you to access lessons and materials online, empowering you to learn at your own pace. This sets the stage for enriching in-class discussions, collaborations, and hands-on experiences that enhance your understanding of the subject matter.
We understand that your time is valuable. That's why we minimize the need for frequent travel to campus, enabling you to balance your education and work commitments better – alongside your job in only four semesters!

FRIDAY TALKS
Networking is an integral part of the MBA experience at Goethe Business School. We regularly invite prominent guest speakers from various backgrounds to talk about current topics. While chatting with the experts in an intimate setting, students and alumni gain unique insights into how these experts are dealing with current challenges and are making change happen. Students can usually look forward to two events per semester, which take place on Friday evenings after regular lectures and are followed by an opportunity to network with other participants.
