Program Overview
Strategy and consulting is one of the most sought-after skill sets in the business world today, and this programme is designed to build that expertise systematically, from first principles to professional practice.
The CBS M.Sc. in Strategy & Consulting, offered at CBS is a full-time master's programme that takes you through the entire world of business consulting, The CBS M.Sc. in Strategy & Consulting, offered at Amity University Online, is a full-time master's programme that covers the full scope of business consulting, from analysing complex organisational problems and building strategies around them, to presenting recommendations clearly and confidently to senior decision-makers.
The degree you earn at the end is awarded by CBS (Cologne Business School), a state-recognised private university in Germany whose programmes are individually accredited by FIBAA (Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation) and further validated by the German Accreditation Council. CBS is the first German university to receive international accreditation from the IACBE (International Accreditation Council for Business Education), making this a qualification of verified global standing, earned without leaving India for the full duration
The curriculum is built around the idea that consulting cannot be taught purely in a classroom.
The programme combines academic depth with applied learning, covering some of the most critical areas of modern business:
- Business Strategy & Consulting Frameworks- from Porter's Five Forces to McKinsey-style problem solving, applied to real business scenarios
- Economic Analysis & Financial Investment- understanding how money moves, where value is created, and how to advise clients on high-stakes decisions
- Data-Driven Research & Business Modelling- working with real data to build recommendations that are evidence-based, not just intuition-driven
- Leadership, Communication & Client Management- presenting to decision-makers, managing stakeholder relationships, and holding a room with confidence
- Live Consulting Projects- working with actual partner companies on real briefs, not hypothetical case studies
What sets this programme apart is how deliberately it bridges academic knowledge with professional practice. Students work on real consulting challenges with companies such as E&Y, UPS, and KPMG, developing evidence-based solutions and presenting recommendations directly to decision-makers. The faculty comprises former C suite level executives, managers, and consultants who bring genuine industry experience into the classroom, which means the frameworks you study are taught by people who have actually applied them.
The programme also integrates AI-based data research, equipping students to generate insights using reproducible, transparent research pipelines at the pace the industry demands. Alongside the technical rigour, the programme builds the professional skills that consulting roles require such structured communication, negotiation, and the ability to present recommendations clearly under pressure, through case studies, simulations, and real business formats. By the time you graduate, you are not just familiar with frameworks; you understand when to apply them, how to adapt them, and how to move beyond them when the situation calls for independent judgement.
There is also a strong focus on the global dimension of business strategy. The faculty bring international experience into the classroom, and the CBS network connects students to a wider world of ideas, industries, and career possibilities. For Indian students specifically, this matters because the consulting industry in India is no longer limited to domestic assignments. Firms here are increasingly working on cross-border mandates, and having a degree with genuine international recognition gives you a meaningful edge when you are sitting across from a recruiter at Deloitte, EY, or any of the mid-size boutique firms that are growing fast right now.
The programme is designed for students who want more than a degree. If you are serious about building a career in management consulting, corporate strategy, business development, or entrepreneurship, and you want a qualification that reflects that ambition, this programme gives you the foundation, the credentials, and the practical experience to get there.
Students enrol through Amity Online- Study Abroad and complete their coursework in India, while earning a Master of Science degree recognised and awarded by CBS, Germany. It is a partnership that combines the best of both institutions- Amity's established academic infrastructure and CBS's international reputation.
Why Choose This Program?
Choosing a master's programme is one of the biggest decisions you will make, and it should do more than just add a line to your CV. This programme is designed for those who intend to enter strategy and consulting roles at a professional level immediately upon graduation. It combines a globally recognised German degree with a curriculum that reflects what the industry actually demands today. Here is what makes it different
A German Degree Recognised Across 3 Continents: The CBS M.Sc. is awarded by a state-recognised German university, which means it carries genuine international credibility. Employers across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia recognise it. Through the credit transfer programme, you earn an internationally recognised qualification without the cost and logistical challenge of studying abroad for two full years
Future-Focused Subjects Including AI Research & ESG Strategy: The subjects are not generic MBA fare. They are specific, current, and highly relevant, covering AI-based data research, sustainability and ESG strategy, change management, financial investment analysis, entrepreneurship, and consulting tools and frameworks. The programme is regularly updated to reflect what consulting firms are actually looking for.
Faculty with Real-World Consulting & Corporate Leadership Experience: Your professors are not just academics. Many of them have spent years working in consulting, finance, and corporate leadership before moving into education. That experience comes through in the classroom, the examples are real, the context is current, and the conversations go well beyond what any textbook covers.
Choose Your Track: 60, 90, or 120 ECTS: This is a 1+1 pathway programme totalling 120 ECTS. You complete the first 60 ECTS online with Amity University Online, earning an Advanced Certificate in Strategy and Consulting, before progressing to CBS in Cologne for the remaining 60 ECTS and graduating with the full M.Sc Degree awarded by CBS. The degree is supported by a network of over 1,300 corporate partners that includes PwC, KPMG, EY, Deloitte, Accenture, Deutsche Bank, DHL, Vodafone, and Continental, all of whom engage with CBS students through live projects, internships, and direct recruitment.
A Multicultural Classroom Built for Global Consulting Careers: The programme draws students from diverse academic and professional backgrounds, creating a classroom environment that is genuinely multicultural. This matters in consulting, where working across geographies, industries, and cultures is part of the job. You will build intercultural skills and professional networks that go well beyond your immediate peer group.
Corporate Partnerships, Live Projects & Alumni Network: The programme is designed with your career in mind, not as an afterthought, but as a central part of the experience. Between the corporate partnerships, the consulting projects, the career workshops, and the alumni network, you will leave with more than just a degree. You will leave with a professional identity and a head start.
FIBAA Accredited & State-Recognised by the German Science Council: As a state-recognised institution accredited by FIBAA, IACBE, and the German Accreditation Council, CBS confers a degree that carries verified academic standing and is respected by employers across the globe. That credibility matters a lot when you are trying to break into a competitive field like consulting.
