The MBA programme is recognised in Rhineland-Palatinate as a course under the Educational Leave Act. Worms University of Applied Sciences will issue you with a certificate to this effect.
In almost all federal states, you are entitled to time off work for your further education. Your employer will continue to pay your salary during this period (educational leave, also known as ‘Bildungsurlaub’ in some federal states). If you work a five-day week, you are entitled to ten working days within two consecutive calendar years.
We recommend that you agree the educational leave with your employer at an early stage.
The Aviation Management (MBA) programme is fee-paying. Tuition fees total 14,900 euros for four semesters. In addition, there is the university-wide semester fee, currently set at the applicable rate.
You can claim your tuition fees as a tax deduction. This often reduces the cost by 30 per cent or more. Many employers also support the programme as part of their staff development initiatives. As a result, you are often left with only a small amount to pay yourself.
