Self-Development
At Globe Business College we recognise
that being successful involves not just the
attainment of an academic qualification
but also personal development. Workshop
sessions in areas such as communication
and presentation skills as well as coaching
sessions on academic writing and professional
development form a key part of the Advanced
Qualifications programme.
Partnering
As a student on our Advanced Qualifications
programme you will become a part of our
network of professionals and industry leaders.
We have strong links with leading companies
such as Microsoft, Citibank, Siemens and
Accenture, with whom we organise regular
events.
Our industrial partners appreciate the quality
of Globe Business College alumni and often
approach us when they have an open vacancy
and are looking for internationally-minded,
well qualified strategic team members.
Flexibility
Our programme of Advanced Qualifications is
designed to meet your individual needs. There is
a strong emphasis on practical skills development
which relates directly to your work experience and
your future career goals.
The programme has been developed to allow
maximum flexibility, with the opportunity to certify
smaller blocks of learning (Certificate, Diploma)
before moving on to more academic qualifications
(Extended Diploma and MBA).
Courses take place over the weekend and
assignments can be completed at home in your own
time, allowing you to continue working full-time
throughout your studies.
Contexualisation
We like to take theory and bring it alive. Our
teaching is practically oriented with a focus on real-
world business cases and we encourage students to
draw on their professional experience both in the
classroom and when writing assignments.
All of our lecturers and professors are educated to
Masters or PHD level and between them they boast
an array of published articles and books. But each
staff member also has industry experience spanning
on average 10-15 years, experience which they draw
upon every day in the classroom.

15. What do our Graduates say?
Peter Zinndorf - Extended Diploma Graduate, 2012
- Why did you decide to study at Globe Business
College Munich?
“I have a technical IT background, with a Diploma
in Computer Sciences. Looking at my career as an
IT Project Manager and thinking about my future
I realised I needed to gain an understanding of the
commercial side of business, in particular how to
deal with customer oriented services. The Diploma
in Strategic Management and Leadership seemed a
great match for this soft skills and strategic business
knowledge gap.”
- How did you benefit from the programme?
“This programme gave me a global understanding
of how an organisation can function with the right
interaction from different departments. Learning
about new areas of business such as marketing
and finances helped me understand the work of
my colleagues and view them in a different way. It
helped me to solve problems in my daily interaction
with internal customers and stakeholders, as I now
understand the key company areas and how they
work together towards a strategy.”
- Which were the biggest challenges you had to face
during your studies?
“The biggest challenge for me was the Financial
Principles and Techniques course, because I have
never had to deal with financial aspects before.
Thanks to the lecturer´s help I not only passed the
course but I now perfectly understand the important
role Finance plays in my organisation.
The second challenge I had to face was time
management. I had to adjust to the demands of
studying alongside a full-time job.”
- How did you overcome these difficulties?
“The flexibility and support I received from
the Globe Business College staff made a big
difference. The small, friendly environment
at the College makes you feel like you are not
alone in this process and that you are working
together as a team to help you grow as a
professional.”
- If you could describe your education at
Globe within 3 words, what words would
those be?
“Challenge – Inspiration – Family”
- What are the next steps in your career?
“After finishing my MBA and gathering all
these internationally recognised qualifications,
I would like to move to the U.S. and start
my own consulting firm. The passion and
motivation that exudes from Globe Business
College and its staff has really inspired me to
embrace my entrepreneurial spirit!”
