Sino-German business relationships are already close and growing more extensive with each passing year. Ideal preconditions, in other words, for the MANNHEIM & TONGJI Executive MBA, an innovative and unique learning experience offered jointly by Mannheim Business School and the School of Economics and Management of Tongji University in Shanghai. The part-time degree program helps experienced professionals and executives sharpen their skills for a top-management career at the interface of the two economic powerhouses and has become a Sino-German showcase project.  In six thematically distinct modules, the curriculum of the MANNHEIM & TONGJI Executive MBA covers all important areas of management – always practice-based, leadership-oriented and founded on an international, Sino-German perspective. Teamwork plays an important role in the program: Participants work on many program topics in deliberately heterogeneous small groups. There are two annual intakes- in May and in September.
