FIORE CAPPELLETTO
(CLASS OF 2021)

“ I chose the Executive MBA in Innovation & Business Creation

because I wanted to create my own start-up. My business idea was
very vague and I did not really know how to start. The program gave
me a clear structure on how to test an idea and how to get into the
implementation mode. After meeting so many inspiring entrepre-
neurs in the class itself or in guest lectures, I ran out of excuses why
I should not get started.

HOW CAN I FINANCE MY STUDIES?

Payments, Deadlines, and
Financing Options
The tuition fee amounts to 39,000 EUR,
which you can pay in four equal install-
ments over the course of the Executive
MBA program. This covers your required
course materials, the use of the libraries
as well as academic courses including
the international modules at our partner
universities. Your travel and accom­mo­
dation costs (including the stay abroad)
and the student union fee are not inclu­
ded in your tuition fee.
Sponsorship by your Employer
Many companies have training budgets
available for their employees which can
be used for external courses. Talk to your
superior or your HR department to see
if your employer can offer support by
paying (part of) the tuition fee or support
you with additional time.
Your company will benefit in several
ways: further training in parallel with em-
ployment means your company will gain a
highly qualified and motivated employee.
Additionally, specific issues from each
company are tackled in “company cases”
during the program so that Executive
MBA students return to their companies
equipped with specific solutions. You also
have the option of using your six-month
master’s thesis to analyze a particular
issue relating to your company.
Tax Benefits for Higher Education
The financial burden of the Executive
MBA program may be reduced by tax
savings. Because this is non-binding
information, please seek advice from
a tax consultant.
Education Funding / Student Loan
Many financial institutions now offer stu-
dent loans, etc. as a way of paying tuition
fees. We recommend that you contact
your bank to discuss financing options.
