ESMT Berlin & BMW Group enter fourth year of Change Maker Fellowship

The partnership between BMW Group and ESMT Berlin continues to evolve: the BMW Group Change Maker Fellowships are being extended to include ESMT’s full-time MBA and MSc programmes, alongside the global online MBA

For the upcoming academic year, eight fellowships, focused on shaping leadership for a digital future, will be offered: 

• Two for the full-time MBA programme (January 2026 intake) 
• Two for the MSc programmes (October 2025 intake) 
• Four for the global online MBA programme (October 2025 intake)

This expansion marks an important shift in the collaboration between the BMW Group and ESMT. By investing in students across the business school’s degree programmes, BMW will support a broader and more diverse group of future leaders with strong backgrounds in mathematics and technology. 

“The Change Maker Fellowships continue to deepen our shared mission with BMW Group: to foster tech-savvy leaders capable of driving meaningful, global change,” commented ESMT President Jörg Rocholl.
