Self-Development

At Globe Business College we recognise that being successful involves not just the attainment of an academic qualification but also personal development. Workshop sessions in areas such as communication and presentation skills as well as coaching sessions on academic writing and professional development form a key part of the Advanced Qualifications programme.

Partnering

As a student on our Advanced Qualifications programme you will become a part of our network of professionals and industry leaders. We have strong links with leading companies such as Microsoft, Citibank, Siemens and Accenture, with whom we organise regular events.

Our industrial partners appreciate the quality of Globe Business College alumni and often approach us when they have an open vacancy and are looking for internationally-minded, well qualified strategic team members.

Flexibility

Our programme of Advanced Qualifications is designed to meet your individual needs. There is a strong emphasis on practical skills development which relates directly to your work experience and your future career goals.

The programme has been developed to allow maximum flexibility, with the opportunity to certify smaller blocks of learning (Certificate, Diploma) before moving on to more academic qualifications (Extended Diploma and MBA).

Courses take place over the weekend and assignments can be completed at home in your own time, allowing you to continue working full-time throughout your studies.

Contexualisation

We like to take theory and bring it alive. Our teaching is practically oriented with a focus on real-world business cases and we encourage students to draw on their professional experience both in the classroom and when writing assignments.

All of our lecturers and professors are educated to Masters or PHD level and between them they boast an array of published articles and books. But each staff member also has industry experience spanning on average 10-15 years, experience which they draw upon every day in the classroom.

The Value for You

I am now equipped with the knowledge and skills to help lead my team and our company into the next phase of growth. Now that I have completed the Diploma at Globe Business College I am looking forward to the next challenge: getting my MBA.”

What do our Graduates say?Peter Zinndorf - Extended Diploma Graduate, 2012

- Why did you decide to study at Globe Business College Munich?

“I have a technical IT background, with a Diploma in Computer Sciences. Looking at my career as an IT Project Manager and thinking about my future I realised I needed to gain an understanding of the commercial side of business, in particular how to deal with customer oriented services. The Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership seemed a great match for this soft skills and strategic business knowledge gap.”

- How did you benefit from the programme?

“This programme gave me a global understanding of how an organisation can function with the right interaction from different departments. Learning about new areas of business such as marketing and finances helped me understand the work of my colleagues and view them in a different way. It helped me to solve problems in my daily interaction with internal customers and stakeholders, as I now understand the key company areas and how they work together towards a strategy.”

- Which were the biggest challenges you had to face during your studies?

“The biggest challenge for me was the Financial Principles and Techniques course, because I have never had to deal with financial aspects before. Thanks to the lecturer´s help I not only passed the course but I now perfectly understand the important role Finance plays in my organisation. The second challenge I had to face was time management. I had to adjust to the demands of

studying alongside a full-time job.”

- How did you overcome these difficulties?

“The flexibility and support I received from the Globe Business College staff made a big difference. The small, friendly environment at the College makes you feel like you are not alone in this process and that you are working together as a team to help you grow as a professional.”

- If you could describe your education at Globe within 3 words, what words would those be?

“Challenge – Inspiration – Family”

- What are the next steps in your career?

“After finishing my MBA and gathering all these internationally recognised qualifications, I would like to move to the U.S. and start my own consulting firm. The passion and motivation that exudes from Globe Business College and its staff has really inspired me to embrace my entrepreneurial spirit!”
