We have developed the study programme based on the wide range of practical experiences of managers, who are our lecturers as well. The university professors also have gained their own management experience from previous employment (for example at Berliner Bank, DLR, Lufthansa, MTU, Schering) and from current project work in business/industry. The MBA programme at the WIT is proud to look back on more than ten years of achievement and benefits from the strong research activities.
