NEW ERA: The New Master’s Concept at CBS
practice-oriented, reflective, and shaped together with leading industry experts.
NEW ERA: Because the Future Needs New Capabilities
The economy is at a turning point: artificial intelligence, sustainability, and societal transformation are reshaping how we live, work, and make decisions. Companies no longer look for mere managers — they seek individuals who can understand complexity, think ahead, and act responsibly.
NEW ERA is CBS’s answer to this new reality: a Master’s concept that empowers you to apply knowledge effectively and develop the capabilities that will matter tomorrow.
The Heart of NEW ERA: Empower - Reflect - Apply
The ERA Concept defines how learning at CBS creates impact.
It stands for a learning culture that transforms knowledge into mindset, judgement, and action.
Across three phases — Empower, Reflect, Apply — you develop what modern Master’s learning requires: self-efficacy, critical thinking, and application-oriented competence.
EMPOWER: Grow Personally, Take Responsibility
REFLECT: Think Critically, Decide Consciously
APPLY: Use Knowledge to Shape the Future
Learning in the New Era: Applied, Interactive, Collaborative
In the NEW ERA Master’s programmes, you are not a passive listener — you are an active shaper. Learning means trying things out, applying knowledge, and evolving it further. Professors become coaches, teams become laboratories for ideas, and companies become learning partners with whom you solve real-world business challenges.
NEW ERA bridges academic depth with real experience. AI tools, data analytics, simulation games and co-creation formats make learning hands-on, measurable, and relevant.
Here, learning by doing isn’t a slogan — it’s daily practice.
