In order to meet the individual requirements and career aspirations of its national and international students, HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management now offers a Fast Track option for its full-time MBA program in addition to the Advanced Track version. While the Fast Track may be completed after a 12-months period on campus plus 3 months for the master thesis, the extended Advanced Track is set up to last up to 21 months. The Fast Track program mainly addresses the needs of participants with five or more years of professional experience, allowing them to return to work after only one year. The longer Advanced Track program is an option best suited for junior executives with three to five years of professional experience and international students. The benefits of the Advanced Track include a greater variety of electives, an optional term abroad, an internship and/or a German language course, which might be of particular interest to the international participants.

Tailored to the needs of students and companies: the new structure of the full-time MBA program at HHL.
HHL Dean Prof. Dr. Andreas Pinkwart comments, “With the introduction of a Fast Track and an Advanced Track, we have made HHL’s full-time MBA even more attractive to prospective students and companies nationally and internationally. All over the world, we have noticed a trend towards one-year programs, as many employees cannot give up their jobs for international training for such a long period of time anymore. HHL responds to these requirements with the new Fast Track option within its full-time MBA program while providing its students with an excellent international network in addition to a well-founded expansion of their academic and practical management skills.”
With regard to the Advanced Track, Prof. Dr. Pinkwart says, “Our Advanced Track option includes a double career aspect. We have been assured of the benefits by companies as well as our MBA graduates. Students from abroad in particular find that the optional internship and/or German course help pave the way for a career entry here. Companies, on the other hand, benefit from the proactive contact with high potential candidates. For them, it is a way to fill the shortage in skilled staff resulting from the demographic gap.”
