Compact and Flexible
An executive MBA program confronts participants with substantial challenges in terms of their time management. In the MANNHEIM & TONGJI Executive MBA, we want to help you achieve optimal coordination with your professional and private engagements. To make that possible, the six nine- to eleven-day modules that are held on a bi-monthly basis alternately in Mannheim and Shanghai, the online course as well as the master's thesis, can be completed either within 18 months or extended over a period of up to 42 months. The program can be started with the May module or the September module.
Participants can also attend individual modules or even individual courses of the MANNHEIM & TONGJI Executive MBA and receive a certificate. Credits from these elements can later be applied if the participant wishes to complete the entire Executive MBA program.

Paid Educational Leave
For Residents: Paid Educational Leave for Your Part-Time Studies
In many federal states of Germany, employees have the right to get a period of paid leave in order to take part in a state-approved educational program. These programs are accredited by Germany's federal states. Mannheim Business School has been accredited by the state of Baden-Württemberg. If you are a participant in one of our part-time MBA or EMBA programs and your company is based in Baden-Wuerttemberg, you are eligible to apply for five days of paid leave per year.
The regulation in Baden-Württemberg is as follows:
- Employees can apply for 5 working days of educational leave per year.
- Educational leave cannot be transferred to the next calendar year.
- Employees have to submit their application for educational leave at least 8 weeks before the start of the course/module.
