Academic Partner
Frankfurt School cooperates closely with the Université Protestante au Congo (UPC) in Kinshasa. Frankfurt School has been working with UPC for over a decade in various programmes and projects in DRC. In February 2018, Frankfurt School started the MBA for Executives in Kinshasa. The programme is offered with the support of UPC. Faculty in the programme comes from both institutions, though more than 80 % of the Professors have an international background. Classes in Kinshasa take place either at the campus of UPC or in the Pullman Hotel, both centrally located in DRCs capital.
Alumni & Careers
Our network of graduates is a major asset that builds bridges between academic theory and real-world practice. But above all, our graduates stay in touch with each other long after they have earned their degrees, quite independently of the years they attended the university.
Frankfurt School’s trust-based relationships and friendships with our MBA Alumni are supported by our official Alumni & Friends department, through which we build lifelong bonds and career impacts.
Lifelong Learning
Once you graduate from the Frankfurt School MBA for Executives programme your experience does not have to stop. We offer you as alumni the opportunity to participate once a year in an MBA module at Frankfurt School at no additional cost. This offers you the opportunity to continue a lifelong education, while staying engaged and ahead of current trends in business.
“While working, I started to feel that my education had come to a standstill. This is when I came across Frankfurt School with the MBA for Executives which is internationally recognized and has great standards. Along with that, the MBA programme would allow me to prepare myself for future managerial positions. When I was offered additional support through my employer, there was no way I would let it go! It is a challenge and an opportunity to meet others and expand my network, in a fun and competitive environment.”
"The best factor about Frankfurt School is that it offers you an opportunity to pursue an MBA programme in Kinshasa. Being a world-renowned University, Frankfurt School gives me an edge over the others, in a world where “time is Money”. I started my MBA programme in January 2021 and my experience has been awesome so far. The professors are encouraging and have been putting their best efforts to ensure a better understanding of subjects. Frankfurt School does not believe in treating students bookish knowledge, rather it enforces students to perform at their best through their ability and creativity."
“I was looking for an MBA programme in Congo with an international level. There are not many high-level education opportunities for executives in DRC and so this was a great chance. What I personally like about this MBA is that it challenges and triggers you with many case studies and interactive elements. My favourite course was ‘Management Made in Germany’ about the ‘Mittelstand’ success story of family companies going global. It’s fascinating to see how these companies work and how they became the backbone of the German economy."
“I studied in France and came back to DRC in 2011. I was looking for professional education and had the opportunity to go back to France but then I heard of this MBA-programme in DRC. I want to help building up a thriving Congo and so I took this chance because I did not want to leave the country. My expectations towards this programme have been exceeded. Vision and will are the requirements to build your own company, but without the skills you cannot make it. Frankfurt School helped me to see further, to see the bigger picture. This is what I have been missing.”
"The MBA program came as a new challenge to learn about the latest issues and apply the newest business techniques at work. It allows us to become part of networks of interesting professionals and organizations and I believe that it will provide me better chances of obtaining and holding high-level positions."
"Building network in a community of high caliber executives, sharing respective experiences and knowledge from diverse backgrounds combined with teaching of lecturers from one of Europe’s leading business schools is an invaluable move to my personal development plan."
