Resumen
Since the autumn of 2016, Goethe University Frankfurt has been offering ambitious
professionals from the pharmaceutical industry or related areas a unique opportunity
to promote personal and professional advancement: the Master of Pharma Business
Administration (Pharma MBA) program is the first and only part-time MBA program with a dedicated focus on the pharmaceutical industry.
Jointly developed by Goethe University Frankfurt, Goethe Business School, and
the House of Pharma & Healthcare, the Pharma MBA offers an innovative combination of applied management fundamentals and pharma-specific business knowhow along the pharmaceutical value chain. To ensure that the academic foundation
and the practical relevance of the curriculum are perfectly matched, all modules draw
on numerous practical examples and case studies or include impulse presentations of
experienced practitioners of the pharma industry.
Pharma MBA graduates earn a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree
(90 ECTS CP) from both the AACSB-accredited Faculty of Economics and Business Administration and the Faculty of Biochemistry, Chemistry and Pharmacy at
Goethe University Frankfurt.
A typical Pharma MBA cohort comprises a variety of international professionals
from the pharmaceutical industry or related fields with several years of postgraduate
work experience. Since 2016, participants from more than 30 national as well as
international companies have commenced their studies on the university’s modern
and centrally located campus Westend of Goethe University Frankfurt. With already
the fourth cohort starting in the autumn of 2019, the Pharma MBA program has
established itself sustainably.
