SAP Corporate Master Program started

[Former Member]

In a globalized business world with fierce competition market driven innovations determine the permanence of entrepreneurial success. As a prerequisite of powerful innovation, practical experiences and actual subject matter expertise need to be combined. Another component is the courage to be daring and try out less conventional approaches.

In 2010 SAP University Alliances and SAP Education started a cooperation with Steinbeis Center of Management and Technology (SCMT), SRH Hochschule Heidelberg and the Chair for Information Systems of Technische Universität München (TUM) with the joint ambition to educate high potentials and tomorrow´s experts in an integrated and comprehensive manner. Using the framework of our new SAP Corporate Master Program, the program trains and develops excellent young potentials from companies in diverse industries and consulting firms.

We offer four study programs covering different focus areas in management and technology, each of them using a select higher education partner:

Master of Business Administration (MBA) u2013 requiring a minimum of two years of experience on the job

Master of Business Engineering (MBE) u2013 immediately following primary studies

Master of Science (MSc) u2013 immediately following primary studies

Master of Computer Sciences (MCompSc) u2013 non-consecutive, after completion of studies

All students of all programs will be trained and tested by SAP Education to become certified SAP consultants. The universities are responsible for the academic part of the programs and will qualify and test the students as part of the master studies. Following the successful completion the students will receive the academic degree (MBA, MBE, MSc or MCompSc) from their university plus an internationally acknowledged SAP consultant certificate from SAP Education.

Hello Daniela,

This sounds very interesting. As with Paul we have a number of UK institutions that have incorporated Certifications into their degrees most notsably Sheffield Hall University that runs a NetWeaver Developer MSc that includes TERP10 and SAP academy delivered by SAP Education. A few other universities are interested in doing something similar.

I'm interested in how the SAP Education component is integrated. At present the aggressive SAP degrees we run have UA-delivered SAP elements (ERP, BIW, BOBJ, CRM) and then a TERP10 Certification and then another Certification on top if the students are prepared to pay to have an academy delivered but the numbers on the second element vary from year to year depending on expense, the global economy (85% of our postgrads are non-UK), and the interest in the specific academy topic. So to manage the variability the universities do more themselves (i.e. incorporating eve more UA materials) and then deliver an academy only when the economic conditions are suitable.

So I guess my questions would be - what is the additional benefit from this program that we don't do already (ie. do they have a whole load of additional materials - what sort of accredditation do they get) and what flexibility is there. You also specify certain degrees - are these degrees that SAP is accrediting or are they just the degres that SAP is prepared to work with?

All the best

Martin
