Part-time Master's degree with the
MBA Wine, Sustainability & Sales
Success in business in small and medium-sized companies has long since ceased to depend solely on the quality of the product. This is not only true for the wine industry. If you want to survive nationally and internationally, you have to recognize opportunities in the market, evaluate them economically and act sustainably.
The MBA Wine, Sustainability & Sales covers all relevant management aspects, uses state-of-the-art teaching methods and offers attractive specializations. The example of the wine industry is used to show how closely economic aspects, sustainability, marketing and sales are interlinked and what skills are required to successfully apply this knowledge in practice.
The course is taught entirely in English, is completed part-time as part-time Further education and has an international approach. With only 36 attendance days in combination with blended learning, you will obtain a state-recognized Master's degree.
New from 2023: targeted further training by taking one or more modules. Details of the certificate program can be found here.

In addition to the classic business management content of an MBA, the program focuses on sales and the three pillars of sustainability. Students also learn about trends in the international wine market, work on case studies and projects in the areas of consumer research and marketing and are trained in the sensory analysis of wine. The world of international wines, their special features and sensory characteristics are tasted using many different examples and expanded to include spirits and beers. Details can be found in the curriculum!
Maximum practical relevance is an important aspect of our Master's program. The international team of lecturers integrates many practical examples into the lessons, which are scientifically analyzed and discussed in the group. Students can bring in their own business issues and, for example, develop solutions as part of a case study or choose a topic for their Master's thesis that is relevant to their own company. This enables a direct transfer of knowledge to the company.
