The Pharma MBA is the first and only part-time MBA program with a dedicated focus on the pharmaceutical industry. Developed by GBS in cooperation with the House of Pharma & Healthcare, it offers a unique combination of business fundamentals and pharma-specific management know-how. The program consists of four semesters – with bi-weekly classes on Fridays (1pm to 8pm) and Saturdays (9am to 5pm) during semesters 1-3 and the subsequent master thesis (20 weeks) off-campus in semester 4. Each semester concludes with a semester break. All dates are fixed well in advance allowing for long-term planning of academic and professional schedules.
