Executive M.B.L.-HSG - International Business Law at the University of St.Gallen, Switzerland

Dr. Konstantin Hoppe

Dr. Konstantin Hoppe, E.M.B.L.-HSG class 2008/2009, is attorney at the Munich office of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP.

Why did you choose to do the Executive M.B.L.-HSG program?
My motivation in applying for the program was that, on the one hand, I already had vast experience as a litigator in international law firms, and, on the other hand, wanted to broaden my horizon and "update" my legal skills in a truly international environment.

How did you benefit from the different professional, educational (lawyers, business people, public administrators, engineers) and national backgrounds in the course?
Being an attorney at an international law firm, I certainly was already familiar with an international environment; however, the special combination of experiences, nationalities, national backgrounds and professions gives the program a very special flavor.

Would you recommend the program to colleagues/friends?
Yes, I would recommend the program because it is a highly motivating post-graduate add?on course, which allows you not only to continue to pursue your professional career while participating in the program, but also to give a boost to that career given the skills you are able to develop during the course.

What did you particularly like outside the classroom?
Outside the classroom I very much enjoyed the locations and also the good organization of out?of?classroom activities by the University (with receptions, dinners, field trips to businesses e.g. in Asia). Looking back, it is hard to believe that it was possible to combine classroom education, teamwork, tests etc. with the opportunity to get to know the course locations and participate in the out?of?classroom program, just in one-week-modules!
