SAP Corporate Master Program started

Question

In a globalized business world with fierce competition market driven innovations determine the permanence of entrepreneurial success. As a prerequisite of powerful innovation, practical experiences and actual subject matter expertise need to be combined. Another component is the courage to be daring and try out less conventional approaches.
In 2010 SAP University Alliances and SAP Education started a cooperation with Steinbeis Center of Management and Technology (SCMT), SRH Hochschule Heidelberg and  the Chair for Information Systems of Technische Universität München (TUM) with the joint ambition to educate high potentials and tomorrow´s experts in an integrated and comprehensive manner. Using the framework of our new SAP Corporate Master Program, the program trains and develops excellent young potentials from companies in diverse industries and consulting firms.
We offer four study programs covering different focus areas in management and technology, each of them using a select higher education partner:
Master of Business Administration (MBA) u2013 requiring a minimum of two years of experience on the job
Master of Business Engineering (MBE) u2013 immediately following primary studies
Master of Science (MSc) u2013 immediately following primary studies
Master of Computer Sciences (MCompSc) u2013 non-consecutive, after completion of studies
All students of all programs will be trained and tested by SAP Education to become certified SAP consultants. The universities are responsible for the academic part of the programs and will qualify and test the students as part of the master studies. Following the successful completion the students will receive the academic degree (MBA, MBE, MSc or MCompSc) from their university plus an internationally acknowledged SAP consultant certificate from SAP Education.

Answer 1

Dear S Mahesh
The SAP Corporate Master Program currently is found in three universities in Germany.  The universities involved are long-time University Alliances member institutions.  They designes their masters curriculum to employ SAP products in a number of their courses.  They also offer the TERP10 SAP Integration of Business Processes certification in the first year of the program.  SAP Education cooperated closely with these universities in Germany in the design of these programs. 
This is also what a number of University Alliances member institutions all over the world including in Germany, at Victoria University in Australia, and at the various UK universities mentioned in an earlier post have done even before these three universities offered the SAP Corporate Master Program.  You would have to say that the inspiration for the SAP Corporate Master comes from these innovative programs.
Indeed, these innovative universities often cooperated with SAP Education in their local countries (i.e. Germany, Australia and UK) to integrate the opportunity for students to choose to take further official SAP certifications as options in their programs.  In the SAP Corporate Master universities, a second official certification is included in the second year of the program as a requirement.
So, for the students, I would say that you should look at ALL of these programs as being very worthwhile.  All of them are innovative and all of them successfully involve the university professors, SAP University Alliances, and SAP Education in the delivery of the programs.  They are all innovative and valuable.  In the SAP Corporate Master, SAP Education worked with University Alliances and the universities early on in the development of the curriculum.  In the other universities, they developed their curriculum as members of the University Alliances program and also chose to invite in SAP Education to participate in making additional certifications available to their students.
Please don't be confused.  All of these programs are really excellent.  Choose which program based on the content offered that fits you best and the other factors of geography, cost, reputation, etc. that you normally use in making the decsion.
I hope this helps you.
