The EMBA HSG students take on responsibility, learn from failures and care about others. They are humble and try to empower others to make them successful. The EMBA HSG students never give up. They always try, try and try, and maybe they might not be successful the first time they try, but they trust themselves that they can make it, they have the drive to make it.

Prof. Dr. Karolin Frankenberger
Academic Director

The EMBA HSG Community has given me the opportunity to build new friendships and networks from people across various industries and the diversity that is present in our cohort has improved my ability to solve business problems. We have lawyers, doctors, finance experts, engineers – the list goes on. Everyone brings a different view to the table when we do groupwork and learning from each other is the best part of doing an EMBA.
