In order to enable a safe and healthy experience on campus, we have implemented rules and measures for the ESMT community to abide by in accordance with the regulation of the State of Berlin and recommendations by the Robert Koch Institut (RKI). Students and executive education participants are tested for COVID-19 at the beginning of a program or module and at least twice a week when courses run for more than two consecutive days. Please download our health and hygiene concept overview here. Coronavirus testing process ESMT Berlin has prepared a coronavirus testing strategy complementing the hygiene concept to support a safe and healthy hybrid classroom experience for students and executive education participants. ESMT provides rapid antigen self-tests to students, executive education participants, faculty, and staff. In line with the Berlin Ordinance Coronavirus Infection Protection Measures Ordinance, the above-mentioned groups with proof of vaccination with an EU-authorized vaccine are exempt from mandatory testing. These individuals must be able to provide proof of a full vaccination in the form of their vaccination certificate or proof of vaccination certified by ESMT and present it at reception upon arrival on campus. The vaccination necessary for complete immunization must have taken place at least 14 days previously. When on campus, hygiene and social distancing rules continue to apply. It is mandatory to wear an FFP2 mask on campus. When a person is alone in a study room or at their desk, she or he does not need to wear a mask. Anyone experiencing symptoms should NOT come to campus but should go to the doctor and receive a PCR test there. Health Honor Code The health and safety of the ESMT Berlin community, coupled with an excellent educational experience, remain our top priority. Therefore, ESMT strongly recommends that all incoming and returning students be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. We are legally obliged only to recognize vaccines approved by the European Union. Our students, faculty, and staff are responsible for monitoring and maintaining their own health in order to protect the health and wellbeing of the entire community. The Health Honor Code should support the protection of each individual member of the ESMT community, including students, executive education program participants, faculty, staff, freelancers, and visitors, thus fostering the wellbeing of the entire community.

Academic excellence We are committed to delivering an impactful and high-quality learning experience, be it face-to-face, online, or in a hybrid format. We recognized the importance of digitalization in education and society as a whole long before the coronavirus made face-to-face teaching impossible. In 2019, we invested heavily in digital learning. This investment, along with our experience as a part of the Future of Management Education Alliance, has given us a tremendous advantage. We not only have the capability and expertise to deliver the highest quality of online and blended programs, but we also have access to faculty networks across leading business schools in Europe, APAC, and the Americas. Drawing upon our extremely successful blended Telekom MBA, we have launched the ESMT Part-time MBA in Business Innovation in blended format. Timotheus Höttges, CEO, Deutsche Telekom AG, said, “Digitalization and agile transformation are key for the future success of large organizations. To support us in the development of a new generation of leaders with the required management skills and in the retention of top performers, we decided to offer a tailor-made academic qualification with a recognized degree. ESMT was the clear choice and convinced us with their program design, faculty, digital platform, and price.” Delivered jointly with IE Business School and Imperial Business School, we are also offering the Master's in Management (MiM) Essentials Program.
