What you learn

In summer 2026 this class will be special!. It will be integrated into the 

BIP: Leading with future skills.

Expect a special class with participants from all our Europe trough our EUonAIR network!

This innovative Blended Intensive Programme enables graduate students to develop the leadership skills required to succeed in an ever-changing, technology-driven and interconnected world. Building on foundational leadership theories, the programme emphasizes future skills — the human, digital and socio-emotional competencies that will define effective leadership in the decades ahead. During an intensive, immersive week combined with online preparation and reflective self-study, participants will explore how leaders can navigate complexity, collaborate with AI systems, build resilient and diverse teams, and lead ethically and sustainably in dynamic global environments. Learning is deeply experiential, combining interactive workshops, case analyses and mindfulness-based self-leadership practices with an initial self-assessment to establish baseline competencies and personal development goals. The intensive week centres on a collaborative group challenge, in which international teams of students analyse a specific leadership approach. They then design, develop and facilitate a practical training exercise for their peers, fostering peer feedback and cross-institutional learning. This exercise also enables students to apply theory to real-world scenarios. By the end of the programme, participants will have completed a personalized self-assessment, developed an in-depth understanding of their leadership style and areas for development, and applied cutting-edge leadership tools to real-life challenges. They will be well-placed to influence, rather than simply react to, the future of work.

They learn to actively promote innovation and change management, and assess their knowledge through case studies, discussions, and presentations.

Subject Expertise: Skill, Knowledge Acquisition

Students train practical leadership skills and decision-making competencies by applying theories to real-world problems. Interactive methods such as workshops and role-plays sharpen their communication and conflict management skills. Self-reflection and group projects foster personal development and strategic competencies in leadership roles.

Didactics

Didactic Experiment Mindfulness 2023: 

HUGS Goes Yoga

Many large German corporations have now recognized the importance of mindfulness in life and that this topic should also be integrated into everyday professional life. In a didactic experiment in the summer semester of 2023, we started our 'Leadership' course in the Master's program at MU with yoga and mindfulness on every lecture day of the blocked event. Starting the day with mindfulness and yoga makes it so much more beautiful! My thanks go to the motivated students :-) 

Due to the positive feedback from the participants we will integrate different mindfulness activities into the curriculum of the course.
