Reinvent your career with an Executive MBA at TUM
It’s not unusual to reach a point in your career where advancement slows or your work no longer feels as rewarding as it once did. This might be despite the valuable experience that you've built, and the fact that you’re ready for the next step. The challenge is clear: how to move forward without pressing pause on your career?
The Executive MBA at the Technical University of Munich is designed precisely for this moment. As one of Germany’s few triple-crown accredited universities, TUM combines academic credibility with the chance to sharpen your strategic thinking, build the confidence to pursue ambitious goals, and join a network that will support your transformation long after graduation.
Whether you want to take on bigger responsibilities, shift to a new industry or bring an entrepreneurial idea to life, TUM can help you take the next big step in your career.
Facing the career crossroads
As we progress in our careers, it’s natural to take a moment to pause and reflect. Many professionals reach a stage where expertise and experience alone aren't enough.
Perhaps your technical know-how would benefit from stronger leadership and strategy skills, or maybe you feel the need to learn how to adapt to digital transformations and global markets. It might be that you feel ready to move into a whole new industry.
Whatever drives you, each TUM EMBA programme is built to support your journey. They’re not just about teaching you the most up-to-date business theory, but also about giving you the space to step outside your comfort zone and prepare yourself for roles with greater responsibility and impact.
Learning and leading by doing
At TUM, learning is never just theory. Putting your new knowledge into practice becomes part of your daily routine. Everything you learn in class is immediately applied to real-life challenges.
Thanks to the flexible part-time structure, you can stay fully engaged in your professional role while pursuing your studies. By linking academic insight directly to practice, you return to the workplace with sharper problem-solving skills, broader perspectives, and the ability to drive strategic initiatives with confidence.
The right programme for your goals
Every career journey is unique. TUM offers three EMBA programmes, each designed for professionals on different paths:
- Executive MBA: Strengthen leadership and strategic skills across industries.
- Executive MBA in Business & IT: Combine management expertise with technology know-how to lead digital transformation.
- Executive MBA in Innovation & Business Creation: Develop the tools and mindset to launch or scale entrepreneurial or intrapreneurial ventures.
Whichever programme you choose, you benefit from TUM’s academic excellence, strong ties to industry, and a global network of peers and alumni, ensuring your EMBA journey aligns with both your personal and professional goals.
Expanding horizons and building networks
A key strength of an Executive MBA at TUM is the diversity of its participants. Leaders from a range of industries and cultures bring different perspectives to problems and work together to create innovative solutions.
International experiences and a global faculty add further depth, broadening horizons and opening doors to career opportunities that once seemed out of reach.
Personal transformation
Yes, an EMBA is about career growth, but at TUM it’s also about personal transformation. Over the course of the programme, you will gain clarity on your goals, build confidence, and develop the courage to take bold steps forward. You will be encouraged to think differently, experiment with new ideas, and discover strengths you didn’t know you had.
Many graduates have gone on to leadership roles they once thought unattainable, successfully moved into new industries, or turned entrepreneurial dreams into reality. If you’re ready to redefine what’s possible, the TUM Executive MBA programmes offer you a unique opportunity to learn, grow, and transform.
