[Germany] MBA Scholarship Program at Fachhochschule Coburg
The Master of Business Administration program at Fachhochschule Coburg, University of applied sciences, has launched in the winter term of 2001/2002.
According to the regulations of the State of Bavaria there will be a tuition fee of 300 Euro for Summer Term 2007. For Winter Term 2007/2008 400 Euro and then 500 Euro for each semester. The internship semester will be tuition free. Therefore, a student starting Winter Term 2006/2007 and completing the study program within 2 years will have to pay a total tuition of 800 Euro for the entire program.
Financial Management is a 2 year (4 semester) postgraduate program with the degree of a Master of Business Administration (MBA). A job integrated part time program is also possible. In this case lectures are held on afternoon / evening and weekends with the combination of a 3-week-day-model and block model. The part time program spans over three years (6 semester).
Financial Management centers around the fundamental principles of Finance, Accounting and Budgetary Control.
The role of money and financial markets, financial analysis, the function of investment markets and decision-making techniques (including behavioral and information management tools) necessary for effective management of a company´s resources will be examined.
Financial Management is discussed in an international context, but a special focus will also be given to the enlarged European Union of the coming years, i.e. countries like Poland, Hungary and other eastern states.
The growing number of medium sized companies with an increasing international business and their corresponding problems is a further element of the program.
The language of instruction is English in the first year and German and English during the second year. German language courses are offered at various levels.
