Small Enterprise Promotion & Training (SEPT MBA)
University
Program Overview
The SEPT MBA is a two-year programme specifically designed to prepare participants for advancing Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) and enhancing entrepreneurship knowledge. It is one of the few programmes globally focused on promoting and developing SMEs. This MBA addresses key challenges such as identifying growth and innovation opportunities within SMEs and crafting innovative strategies to promote them. These strategies aim to generate beneficial effects on their business environments. The curriculum draws from the successful model of Germany's "Mittelstand" (the term for SMEs in Germany), offering insights into their promotion and development. Graduates of this MBA are equipped to take on pivotal decision-making roles, supporting SMEs and fostering innovative entrepreneurs, particularly in knowledge-intensive business services. A distinctive feature of our programme is its strong ties with SMEs worldwide, allowing our curriculum to include real-world case studies. Our faculty is a blend of resident and visiting lecturers, many of whom also serve as consultants in their fields of expertise. For more information, please visit our programme website .
