A very warm welcome to our "old" and new students!

Yesterday saw the start of a new semester here at Pforzheim University. All 2nd semester students, faculty and staff were happy to finally meet again on campus after a very busy winter semester that partly had to be taught online due to the Covid pandemic. After welcoming back last year´s 1st semester students and the newly joined business grads, program director Prof. Harald Strotmann had a closer look with them on the curriculum. Having covered all the basics in Accounting & Finance, Marketing, Business Functions, Economics, Research Methods and Management Skills in the first semester, the second semester covers topics like Innovation & Business Dynamics, Sustainable Globilization, Strategic Management & International Business Development, Business Controlling, Research Methods and Management Skills II. In addition to these mandatory classes the MBA also offers electives in Agile Project Management, Leadership, Change Management and Managerial Decision Modelling, some of them being taught by guest professors from the UK and the US. Besides those lectures an exciting program of “Guest in Classroom” talks with key professionals from the industry, the “Alumni meet Current students” event as well as a field trip to Munich is awaiting the 2st semester MBA students.
