Program structure & study organization

Das Programm MBA General Management and Artificial Intelligence & Quantum Diploma verbindet zwei Lernwelten: Die Universität für Weiterbildung Krems (UWK) vermittelt mit dem MBA in General Management das betriebswirtschaftliche Fundament – von Strategy und Finance über Marketing und Leadership bis Business Analytics. Die Alma Mater Europaea – European Center Herrenberg (AME ECH) ergänzt das Programm um Artificial Intelligence, IoT und Quantum Computing und begleitet das individuelle Innovationsprojekt.

The program comprises 60 ECTS and takes two semesters full-time or three semesters part-time. Admission is possible year-round. You will complete your studies with your practice-oriented innovation project and the MBA Thesis. You decide for yourself which challenge from your company or professional environment you want to work on – it can, but does not have to be, directly connected to AI or Quantum Computing.

The program bundles the expertise of two specialized institutions. The University for Continuing Education Krems (UWK) is a public university with a special focus on academic continuing education for working professionals and is responsible for the Master of Business Administration (MBA). Alma Mater Europaea – European Center Herrenberg (AME ECH) specializes in innovation and leadership programs as well as the transfer of scientific knowledge into corporate practice, and awards the Artificial Intelligence & Quantum Diploma.

This means you don't just get two certificates side by side: the management perspective of the MBA is specifically combined with future technologies and a real innovation project. This creates the bridge between business competence, technological understanding, and practical implementation.

In doing so, you strengthen your position for roles in the fields of innovation management, digital transformation, business development, strategy, technology management, or leadership.
