Part-time Master with the MBA Wine, Sustainability & Sales
Success in business has long since ceased to depend solely on the quality of the product in small and medium-sized enterprises. This is not only true for the wine industry. Those who want to survive nationally and internationally must recognize opportunities in the market, evaluate them economically and act sustainably.
The MBA Wine, Sustainability & Sales covers all relevant management aspects, uses state-of-the-art teaching methods and offers attractive focal points. Using the wine industry as an example, the program shows how closely economic aspects, sustainability, marketing and sales are interrelated and what skills are needed to successfully apply this knowledge in practice.
The course is taught entirely in English at Weincampus Neustadt, is completed part-time while working, and has an international focus. With only 36 days of attendance in combination with blended learning, you will earn a state-recognized master's degree.
Detailed information about the concept, the study contents, the application modalities and much more can be found on the Weincampus homepage!
