Course overview

With the MBA programme specialising in Salesforce, available completely online, you’ll first develop a strong business administration knowledge. Building on that, you’ll learn practice-oriented concepts such as operations and information management, strategic management, leadership and corporate finance, to prepare you for the various challenges facing modern managers around the world. Then, in your second semester, you’ll have the chance to specialise in Salesforce sales and consulting, developing software-specific skills for maximum practical orientation.

In your specialisation modules, you’ll familiarise yourself with the Salesforce software platform and the principles of customer relationship management. Afterwards, you’ll develop hands-on experience by working on the software, exploring its features and potential uses for various business cases. By the end of your studies, you’ll be well equipped to successfully lead Salesforce projects. 

In addition to your education on the technical aspects of CMS, you’ll also acquire sales management skills, get to know the core ideas behind customer driven organisations and learn how to identify the specific solutions needed for different sales channel challenges. By the end of your studies, you’ll have a well-rounded understanding of how to use Salesforce in order to enhance and optimise the sales and customer retention processes for any business you’ll work for in the future.

Student reviews

This is what our students say

  • Combined with practical work experience, the study programme at IU was the right choice for me.

    Britta Gabriel

    Graduate, Germany

  • A big advantage for me was that I could work on the marketing and tourism management module while I was setting it up, so was able to directly use my knowledge in these areas. I also really benefited from the monthly examinations because there was less time pressure.

    Jenny Strumpf

    Graduate, Germany

  • I can already put the knowledge I have learned from my studies into practice at my employer: I am responsible for the digitalisation and automation of certain processes in my department.
