“It feels like you’re there in person. It’s clear that WHU has made every effort to inject life into distance learning rather than simply transferring its in-person program to a digital format.”

“The program allows you to expand your network despite not being a physical format. I have connections to WHU alums and have met many here in Singapore. We meet every month, and these contacts are valuable to me.”

Professor Dries Faems

“Community building is very important. We invest a lot of time and effort in bringing people together online but also on-site. That's why we have the residential week where all students come together to meet each other face to face.”

Carsten Packeiser
Global Online MBA
"Without the online format, I would not have been able to finalize my studies, as I moved from Germany to the US while studying. The possibility of learning on the weekend and in the evenings helped me to balance my private and professional life."
Annika Vieter
Global Online MBA
"What stands out for sure is the residential week and the late-night calls I had with my peers while working on MBA projects and simultaneously managing the demanding jobs we all had. During the residential week, we were finally able to prove the network and great connections we had built up, even though only digitally until that moment."
Krish Laha
Global Online MBA
"The Global Online MBA positively influenced my way of thinking and my decision-making process. It significantly impacted my professional development and improved how I communicate and complete tasks at work. My colleagues noticed the changes in me, and these naturally affected my career development."
Kevin Leihn
Global Online MBA
"The strategic modules complemented my existing knowledge, applying strategic execution initiatives in my role as CEO, making leading a much more structured and objective task. Ultimately, this gave me a deeper understanding of strategy, which led to my thesis on strategic transformation."
Julius Rummel
