For those students with 210 or 240 ECTS points from their undergraduate degree, who choose to complete the programme in Germany, the programme takes a minimum of 12 months. The programme is broken up as shown below. The different start and end dates for Study Block one are due to different start and end dates at the three partner institutions
Study Block 1: August/September - December/January (30 ECTS)
Lectures and examinations in France or Mexico or the USA
Study Block 2: February - May (30 ECTS)
Lectures and examinations in Germany at ESB
Study Block 3: June - Nov (30 ECTS)
Thesis phase. Students have a maximum of 6 months in which to write their thesis. The fast track option open to all those entering the programme with 210 or 240 ECTS points allows them to submit their thesis at the end of August.
Students entering the programme with 180 ECTS from their undergraduate degree must complete a compulsory 20-24 week internship on completion of Study Block 2 before they are allowed to proceed to Study Block 3. These students are encouraged to link their internship with their thesis topic. ESB Business School can award 30 ECTS points for the successful completion of this integrated internship ensuring that all students will have attained 300 ECTS points when they graduate. Students have the possibility of writing their thesis with a company. This usually takes the form of an internship (20-24 weeks) and would lengthen the programme.
