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.

For more information, please follow the Link to our SAP Coporate Master Program ().

Best Regards,

Daniela Weckenmann - Chair for Information Systems of Technische Universität München

Hello, everything looks very exciting, but I have a complain and a question.

1) why I cannot read the page in English? Well, we have google translator and one could understand some German, but I can see very little text so the translation, I mean an official one, would take a skilled translator like minutes. Maybe you could fix it? Does not look very professional.

2) I would like to know if there is a way a graduate on other university with years of SAP experience could study your course and take some shortcuts. I have passed many theoretical exams in computer science, have completed many practical trainings and have successfully used all the theoretical/ school experience in oth technical and functional world of SAP. I would like to learn some more, meet some new people, maybe even get a fancy paper from a respected univerity like yours, but I don´t have time/ money to move to another country (I cannot do this on any of the local univerisites) and study for years to get something what I already have.

I understand you must have heard many questions like this one, I am sorry for that, but that would bridge the gap between the schools and the industry in a great way and of course would help the working professionals (like me, I hope) to help traing the youngsters and get trained in some new and fancy things at the same time.

Hi Otto,

There is an English website as well (http://www.sap.com/germany/services/education/cmp/index_en.epx) but nevertheless you are completely right that the translation of the CPM website is still missing.. I will forward your complaint to the websites admins.

Your second question is an interesting one - I think life-long learning is vital, especially within such a fast-moving area we are working in. As you have gathered already lots of theoretical and practical experience, you maybe could start teaching at an university as guest teacher? This is just one of many other ways to share your experience and to get in touch with university people to discuss and develop new ideas and concepts.

Regards

Thanky you, Sonja, for the idea. I had the same idea. But my alma mater was not interested, or better to say: they had enough "teachers" and PhD students to do the job (read: they needed some purpose for themselves, so they didn´t want any other people to get in). By the way, we are said (they´re) to be very theoretical and more sceitnific than intersted in engineering and I feel the course would not fit in. And the procedure was neither clear nor easy to get your own course. So I took my degree and started some real work instead of starting a fight.

I would be happy to teach or help teaching but none of the universitites in my country are members of UAC (I have asked a question how can one become a member and what could bring it to the school, I still don´t understand why there is no "starter pack" I could sent those guys or offer them in personal....) and am afraid not interested in any "external" SAP sources. Maybe it is because of some petty-minded people out there or I didn´t crush into the right ones, I don´t know.

I meet this kind of people everywhere and that is why I started posting to SDN, where one is who he/she wants to be and how hard he/she is working. And only because I feel a little debt i started searching for alternatives around here. My primary interest is to help young people to understand and learn SAP and help them decide and start their SAP career. But if it would be possible to get some more education for me or offer some more formal education (than the blogs, forum posts etc.) for the others, I would be interested. I welcome any thoughts/ ideas.

By the way it is possible this discussion has already happened here and I missed it, in that case I am sorry for asking the same questions and complaining about the same things. Thanky ou for your patience with a newcomer:))

regards Otto

But let me insist on the second question. Is there a way I can became a distant student and get the degree (I could learn so much more at the foreign university, I believe, meet new people and the name of the school could also help one day). But without having to go through this all over?

cheers Otto

By the way, some parts of the website are dead, for example check the links here: http://www.sap.com/germany/services/education/cmp/investment/index_en.epx

Hi Otto,

the offered courses a no long-distance courses, but as far as I know at least some of the course contents are blocked.

If you need more details, you can also use the central contact adress info.sap.cmp(at)scmt.com.

Otto I'm curious to know if you have heard anything further?

Hi Otto

Last time I checked we offer 6 post graduate SAP related subjects online. These are part of our Master of Business in ERP systems which is offered in China, Singapore and Austria. I don't want this forum to turn into a place for universities to publicise their courses but you has a specific request about distance education. The different time zones might be a killer but all lectures are recorded.

Good Luck

Hello,

I am so glad you were able to spare a minute and tell me about it! I am aware of the SAP courses/ education/ name in SAP education of the University of yours and would be cool if there would be a way I could tap to any of your activities...

But you can imagine what questions come next: Would it be possible to attend (and get a degree from your university?) for a guy from the central europe? I would love to attend, study or teach, or maybe both, but have no idea about the details, prerequisities... Is there a page, you could point me to, to read something more and do not bother you with the questions?

I don´t care about the time zones, if it could work for me, I would prefer to study instead of sleeping:))

Thank you for your time and effort,

regards Otto

p.s.: if you could share a brief description of your interests (I mean personal interests), I would try to find something we have in common, to become a valuable "contact" for you. I am not going to waste your time!

[OttoGold]

I found this one: http://www.business.vu.edu.au/sap/ but cannot see any details how to arrange it. Is there anybody I could reach with the specific details? I mean somebody who would be interested to "work" with me:))

Hope I am not too cheeky, I am only excited about the opportunities...

thank you,

regards Otto

Sonja,

Please let me know if the German language skills are mandatory for following such a program. I ask this because the program is in English but i've seen that with no German language skills a student cannot be included in the projects which are part of the program. Please clarify this.

Thank you
