Master of Business Administration

Empowerment through impact:

Our approach goes beyond traditional teaching methods. We place particular emphasis on ensuring that our graduates not only accumulate knowledge, but are able to translate this into concrete action. Through impact-orientated education, they acquire the skills and understanding to effect real change in their organisations and beyond. Impact capability is as much an art as it is a science.

Systemic thinking for complex problem solving:

In a world characterised by increasing interconnectedness and complexity, systemic thinking is essential. Our students learn to go beyond linear thinking and understand the interactions between different elements. We not only impart theoretical knowledge about systems, but also promote practical skills for systemic organisational development. This approach enables our graduates to not only understand the structure of their organisations, but also to view the natural world as a complex ecosystem. This is because we believe that a deeper understanding of natural systems enables the development of more sustainable and effective solutions to business challenges.

The connection between organisations and the natural world:

Organisations are not isolated entities, but part of a larger ecosystem - an earth that interacts with us and on which we depend, but which also depends on us for its quality and diversity. Our students learn to understand and appreciate this connection. Through systemic thinking, they recognise how decisions in organisations not only have internal effects, but also external consequences for the environment and future generations.

Responsibility for the environment and future generations:

We firmly believe that with greater knowledge comes greater responsibility. Our students are encouraged to look beyond short-term success and consider the long-term impact of their actions. The integration of responsibility for the environment and for future generations is therefore a central part of our curriculum.

The synthesis of economic efficiency and ecosystem integrity:

Successful business and the preservation of ecosystem integrity are not incompatible goals - on the contrary, they are inextricably linked. Our graduates are prepared to achieve this synthesis. Through systemic thinking and a holistic approach, they can develop effective business strategies that promote both economic success and environmental sustainability.

Personal development for sustainable success:

Transformation begins on the inside. In addition to professional expertise, we attach great importance to the development of our students' personalities. Because we are convinced that strong leaders must not only have specialist knowledge, but also a strong personality in order to successfully shape change.

Welcome to an educational experience that will not only broaden your knowledge, but also strengthen your skills and redefine your future. Welcome to our MBA - the enabler for a sustainable and environmentally empowering digitalised world, where systemic thinking is the foundation for impactful change.

Our MBA program at NORDAKADEMIE offers a comprehensive and thorough education in various areas of business administration. It includes basic modules such as scientific work, ethics, sustainable corporate management, general business administration, financial accounting and financial reporting. These modules lay the foundation for an in-depth understanding of economics. 

The compulsory modules deepen knowledge in specific areas such as strategy development and implementation, corporate communication, controlling and investment as well as digital business development & AI. The students learn how to make strategic decisions, communicate effectively, manage financial resources and utilize the latest digital technologies. 

The Personal Leadership module offers practical insights into leadership styles and techniques, while applied market and marketing research and systemic organizational theory provide theoretical and practical knowledge in these important areas. In the module "Leading Change - Systemic Leadership", students learn how to effectively lead change in organizations. 

The real-world laboratory project offers students the opportunity to tackle current market challenges and put their acquired knowledge into practice. Finally, the Master's thesis rounds off the course, in which students carry out their own research project and demonstrate their skills.

In addition, all MBA students are explicitly and cordially invited to take part in our annual Potential Assessment Center.
