GISMA Business School

GISMA Business School in Hannover, Germany, was launched in 1999 as a joint initiative by the state of Lower Saxony and visionary private-sector enterprises. GISMA is a privately funded, self-administering institution of higher education. The School is closely affiliated with the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University (Indiana, USA) and also collaborates with TiasNimbas Business School of the Tilburg University & Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (the Netherlands), and Central European University’s CEU Business School (Hungary).

GISMA Business School offers internationally recognized and accredited (AACSB) MBA degrees in cooperation with the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University in Indiana, USA. The degrees can be pursued either full time (in 11 months) or part time (in 22 months). Besides its MBA programs, GISMA Business School also offers tailor-made courses for managerial staff members.

Full Time MBA

The Full Time MBA in General Management runs for 11 months - starting in August and ending by July the next year. This is one of the shortest Full Time MBA programs in the world. Nonetheless, GISMA's record at placements and the performance of the alumni has proved that this is a very effective program. The highlight of the degree is that it is awarded by Purdue University. Hence students get to study in Germany and obtain a world-class American degree. Students need to garner 48 credit hours with a combination of core courses and electives. The Tuition fee is Euro 25,000. The program is divided into 5 modules each lasting up to 8 weeks. Thus, one can take up 8-10 credits per module. Core courses are generally worth 2 credits while electives may be worth 1 or 2 credit.
